Lots of buyer agents will require the FSBO to sign an agreement that they will pay the buyer agent commission before introducing their buyer to the property. Otherwise, the buyer may be responsible for the commission of their agent depending on the agreement. FSBO often are tough to work with because they are fearful you are taking advantage of them as you have a big knowledge advantage over them. At least that has been my experience. A builder or experienced investor can be a different story and can be a smoother transaction.

Exactly and that is why it is so hard to sell a FSBO when they won't pay buyer's agents.
