I'm talking about BUYERS' agents refusing to show FSOB homes to the buyers they represent because sometimes they are on the sell side so they don't want to encourage FSOB. If they did represent the buyer in buying an FSOB house they'd still get the buy side commission...a short term gain that would piss off all the other agents in town.
In an FSBO there's by definition no seller's commission.
- hash872 3y agoThis whole idea is totally fake (and I'm not sure you get the difference between a FSBO where the seller is paying a buyer's agent, versus one where they're not). Real estate is a high-turnover job with a bunch of stressed-out independent contractors on 100% commission. They don't care what 'other agents in town' think of them, and there's no giant collusion or conspiracy going on. They're all just trying to close a deal so that they can pay their bills and buy groceries every month. I assure they are not colluding with each other
