It seems that the percentage of sales FSBO has been dropping for 30 years. Down to about 5-7% from what I'm seeing. And FSBOs on average sell for less. And the reasons people state for using an agent seem reasonable to me.

I just googled it and that's what I'm seeing. I hope that answers your honest question.

For a minute there I thought you implying people who use agents are stupid.

I don’t hate realtors. I think they can be very valuable in the right situations.
