With real estate commissions as high as 6%, property that is valued at more than $300,000 can easily mean a real estate commission of $20,000 or more. These monies are nearly impossible to recover in the form of a higher selling price, therefore some sellers have opted to list their homes for sale apart from the services of a licensed realtor and keep the commission. Let's take a closer look at the FSBO trend and see if a sale of your home apart from a realtor is right for you. steve_arnold@pacificarticles.com (Steve Arnold) Sat, 04 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4247/1/Advantages-of-a-For-Sale-By-Owner-Website-Listing/Advantages-of-a-For-Sale-By-Owner-Website-Listing.html When a homeowner sells real estate in Hawaii without the help of a realtor the process is known as for sale by owner.
