Why buyers agents dont bring buyers to For Sale by Owner properties ?

One of the most frequently asked questions from home FSBO sellers is: Why buyers agents dont bring buyers to my “For Sale by Owner” property that I listed on Zillow FSBO?

The answer is very simple  and straightforward and the difference is COMPENSATION (actually lack of it in writing) from the seller to buyers agent.

See, when buyers agent shows listing from MLS, he knows beforehand that his compensation in either dollars (flat fee) or percentage of the sales price. According to MLS rules, Listing agent (the one who represents seller) has to have  a listing agreement in writing where compensation for his and buyers agents services is spelled out.

By showing MLS listed property buyers agent KNOWS that if his clients offer is accepted, he will get paid.
