re: How do realtors get paid?

Best move i ever made was buying a FSBO house.

Crushed it when I sold with a realtor 6 years later. I got the house at least 50k less than worth. Prob closer to 75K. And the fact it was FSBO meant almost nobody knew it was for sale. So it was still sitting there for me.

Edited: seems if youre smart you can do well selling without a realtor as well. Was not my experience though.
