Reasons To Never Buy An FSBO (For Sale By Owner) Home

Though this route might be beneficial for sellers looking to save money or avoid working with agents, those looking to buy a home can benefit from avoiding FSBO homes. There are many reasons why you should never consider buying an FSBO home such as a lacking sense of urgency, the potential for scamming and more.
