Three main reasons not to use an agent

We all better know that the real estate market has seen better days. As the economy becomes more and more tight and families continue to cut back we are seeing a large increase in the FSBO market. it's important that FSBO home sellers take advantage of the different marketing methods available to them.What I have found is that many people choose not to use an agent for three main reasons.
1) Many people in the FSBO market have been wronged by an agent. They have had a bad experience with their agent. In many cases the agent did not follow through with their promises during the listing presentation. Many FSBO's say that their agent simply did not communicate what was going on with the home while listed.
2) most of the FSBO's do not trust agents. This is typically a case in which an agent lied to the owner about showings, marketing activities, or some other factor.
3)During this tough economic times consumers are finding hard to pay a real estate agents the thousands of dollars in commission to sell the home, especially if number 1 and 2 above are true.
