Home Staging Glossary by Staging Diva

An acronym for "For Sale By Owner," FSBO describes a home that's being sold privately rather than being listed by an agent. FSBO home sellers list privately to avoid paying the typical 5% to 6% sales commission to a real estate agent. In doing so, they take on the risk and responsibilities of promoting their own home, hosting open houses and showings, and negotiating offers. Learn how home stagers can work on FSBO properties.
