Business type

Owners as agents

For various reasons, some owners do their own selling of their property. (This is called FSBO, or “for sale by owner” in signs on the front yards of their properties.) Some buyers also do their own deals with owners on the premise (or hope) that dealing with owners is straight-forward and fair to both of them.

Another big reason, obviously, is the sizeable savings on commissions which they don’t pay (or maybe pay themselves, in essence).
