Do FSBO net sellers more money in their pocket?

In the world of real estate, the million dollar question is whether you are better off selling your own home or enlisting services of a real estate broker/agent. 

It typically comes down to price... when people do For Sale By Owner (FSBO), they are typically trying to save on the commission they would pay out of their sales price.

So, lets look at a recent study that was done to compare the costs and profits when you compare FSBO to sales through a realtor/broker.

I have pulled some key data points from the study in this article. However, I encourage you to access the full study at: http://collateralanalytics.com/saving-real-estate-commissions-at-any-price/

I wanted to start by sharing a chart that compares different dynamics and influences in each of the two scenarios.
