In earlier times, when internet was not much in use, the main source of selling/buying home and property was through realtors or real estate agents. People usually detail about their requirements and needs with the realtors who after matching the sellers and buyers of similar requirements and fixed up their meetings. For this the realtors used to charge the buyers and sellers a fixed percentage of commission.
The wide use of internet has increased the means of advertising a property, and the rela estate is no more a game of only realtors. Today, anyone interested in selling their own property can do it themselves. They can list their property in FSBO/MLS which receives high visibility by the buyers. The advertisement should be enticing enough to meet a buyer’s necessity and if everything goes well, the buyer and the sellers can fix up a meeting thus without involving any realtor.
