FSBO has bad reputation because most houses are overpriced. A lot of people won't even look for a FSBO because most likely it's a wast of time.

And don't forget that a potential buyer saves absolutely nothing when buying FSBO. You'd have to make it pretty attractive to get people to even see it.

I've been thru sale/buy 3 times in my life and I've always had bad experience with FSBO. I won't even consider it anymore.

A freind of mine unsuccessfully tried FSBO last year and ended up getting a realtor which sold the place in a couple of weeks.

Also note that comisions are negotiable. 5%+3.5 is pretty standard deal right now.
