As a Realtor I filter out the dreamers and time wasters.

Buyers are not always buyers, sometimes they are wishfully thinking without any consideration for you or your time. FSBOs are easy prey for these Wishful Thinkers because they don’t ask the right questions. As a professional, I don’t put people in my car (nor do most other good Realtors) until they have proven themselves to be qualified, ready, willing, and able to purchase a home.

It takes a whole company to do this job…

As any experienced FSBO will tell you, its not an easy job to sell your own home. After keeping track of the time spent (away from doing the things you want to do) and the amount of money it takes to get the home ready to market it, plus taking into account any false starts and anxious days on end waiting for a decision, a FSBO would be better off delegating the job to those who do it all the time. Having your home listed by a Realtor  into "the system" is cost effective and safer.
