**33% of FSBOs knew the buyer prior to home purchase in 2012.
**The typical FSBO home sold for $174,900 compared to $215,000 for agent-assisted home sales.
**The main reason that sellers chose to sell FSBO in 2012 was to save on 6% commision but lets do the math, if the typical real estate agent assisted transaction was $215,000 and 6% of $215,000 is $12,900 than the owners of real estate agent sold homes averaged a net of $202,100 which is $27,200 more than the average FSBO. Bottom Line: FSBOs negotiate almost $30,000 less in the sale of their home than Agents do according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR)
