“For the second year in a row, a survey by the National Association of Realtors shows that people who did not use a professional real-estate agent actually sold their home faster and got closer to their asking price.”
“It took an average of nine weeks for agent-assisted deals to close last year versus six weeks on average in the case of for-sale-by-owner properties, according to the Realtors' 2008 survey. And those for-sale-by-owner, or "FSBO," transactions did not include any deals in which the seller knew the buyer — fast-track, friendly deals that could have skewed the numbers.”

The Faces of for Sale by Owner
By Samantha Storey
“The first five letters of broker is broke,” said Mr. Ruzal, 54, a mechanic at Bicycle Habitat in SoHo. “Say I get $525,000, a broker will get around $32,000 of that. I make $40,000 a year. For no work, they are getting about the same amount of money.”
