For Sale By Owner Horror Stories

make sure you realize that an offer is just an offer, and the house is still on the market until you accept.

not exactly a fsbo situation and it worked out for me, but our current house was purchased from a family that was using the wife's brother as an agent. apparently, he was a part timer agent and didn't know what the hell he was doing. we put in an offer the day it was listed (about 10K below asking). they promptly cancelled the open house scheduled for that weekend, ensuring that we had zero compteition for the house. houses in the area were going for 20K+ above asking at the time.
