For Sale By Owner (FSBO; IPA pronunciation: ) is a term that describes a piece of real property that has been offered for sale directly by its owner, as opposed to by a real estate broker. In recent years, the term has been used more broadly to describe the process of marketing, buying, and selling of real property without the representation of a real estate broker.
A major motivator of owners to sell via FSBO is to avoid paying a commission to a broker, which is typically 6% of the sale price of the property in many parts of the US (Birger 2005), but can range from 5% to 7% in different markets. In Canada they range between 5% and 7%.*.
According to a press release by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) about their most current annual survey of real estate consumers: 2005 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers (NAR 2006):
