KAL's number 95-98% is NOT "from the Internet". The NAR (NOT NRA as you posted

) Keeps detailed records of statistics kept by closing agents in my area and most other areas.
Here in Spokane about 2 in 10 closings involve ZERO Brokers, so you think wow the FSBO is doing 20% of the deals ----- NO ----- 75% of those ZERO agent closings are Family member to Family member transfers.
Only 1 in 25 sales involve strangers and ZERO agents --- Just facts backed up by closing company records Scoopster!!!!!!
The typical FSBO ends up listing their home with an agent after 2 or 3 weeks of "trying it on their own"
While some owners successfully sell their home without a listing agent -
they almost always end up paying the buyer's agent's fee. So yea, they may end up not paying that 3% list agent fee - buy costing themselves who knows what in time, effort and annoyance.
Any keep this in mind Scoopster - very rarely does 2 or 3% on the price make or break the sale, why not just up the price by 3% and enjoy your days off while your agent does the grunt work?.
