I ran across a blog post over at:

blog.bytheowner.com/2007/05/23/how-to-sell-your-home-privately/

I particuraly paid attention to the testimonials they gave about not ever using a real estate agent again. I don't know what part of the country these folks deal in, but in Houston, real estate agents are petrified to approach FSBO's and at that, don't have the guts to say to a person, "You can't do it without me.".

At least this has been my perspective. When I speak with For Sale By Owners, my goal is to help them sell their home themselves. That is a definite "win" for them. I "win" by being in their mind if they ever meet anyone that doesn't was to tackle the task of selling their home without representation.

At first glance, I wanted to post a comment on this blog and start a debate. Would this be a good/bad thing to do, and if "good", anyone care to join me?

Note: Take mention I said DEBATE. No thrashing the company. I want to get their perspective vs. an agents perspective and have healthy blogversation with them.
