Can I Buy a FSBO Home with a Real Estate Agent?
Yes you can. In fact, I would always advise a home buyer to have representation when making a purchase, and especially when buying a FSBO (for sale by owner). The issue of compensation can be tackled with the seller at the outset. Most FSBOs seek to save money by not paying a Realtor to represent them in the sale of their home. However, I've found that FSBOs will usually agree to pay a buyer's agent out of their proceeds.
