A bird in the hand...


Whether your decision would be wise or not depends on your local real
estate market and to some extent luck.


Did you know that some of the best sources of listings for agents are
FSBOs? They're also some of the best sources to look for bargains for
buyers.

Agreed -- and if you plan on doing a FSBO you need to do your homework first
and know the area you are selling in
