The realtors here in Rockford, Illinois like to ask 7%. Worse, the Rockford Area Association of Realtors takes some of that money, and puts up billboards and buys radio time to shill for every school tax increase that gets proposed. Some of the commission also goes to radio spots warning people about the problems of FSBO. (I figure FSBO must work, or they wouldn't advertise against it.)

Nothing against Realtors in general, everything against the local realtor's association.

I am building a home without a realtor, and I will sell my present home without one.

I am building a home without a realtor, and I will sell my present home without one.

Just out of curiosity, why would you need a realtor to build one?
