FSBO and Paying More to Buyers Agent

[Dave Myers]

Hi all,

I'm considering offering my home FSBO and have a couple of questions to those with experience going that route.

Is it helpful to offer an additional fee to potential buyer's agents (say $500 or $1000) to induce them to show the property?

Also, would I, as a home owner, have any additional liability exposure for selling FSBO vs going through an sellers agent? (I live in Ohio.)

Thanks in advance!

I sold my last house fsbo. I also called every top realtor and offered a 3% commission if they sold my property. It's a small town by the way. I still ended up selling it myself without a buyers realtor. It was easy. We got a contract from the closing attorney and that was about it from my end other than letting the appraiser in and also getting a termite inspection. Simple process.
