No, I have never listed a FSBO Praful Thakkar, and have never actually considered doing so.  I am not interested in being a Discount Agent, though have seen others who do go this route . . .  it's not my style.  I will read replies below though!

No as it does no one any good. The seller will still be uniformed, make mistakes and worse, my name would be on the mls. It makes one look bad to take limited service in a world where a lot of sellers are demanding more service, not less.

What is a discount broker?

What is a limited service broker?

What is a 'submission only' broker?

To answer your question, as others have said. a FSBO does not appear in Pinellas County Realtor Association multiple listing service.

The agent who declares they provide the consumer no choices may be losing track of what consumers are demanding.

Customized Choices for your Real Estate Needs

Lots of no's.  Consumers are offered choices in most industries.  Real estate traditionally offered FSBO or "full service".  If restaturants only offered "cook at home" (FSBO) or full service, there would be no fast food industry (I can hear the "that is ok" chorus).  Obviosly, consumers like the choice of fast food options.  Offering choices in the real estate industry is happening.  Zillow buying and selling homes, Redfin, etc.... Choices are only going to become more prevalent.  Not providing what the consumer is demanding is a recipe for going out of business.

If you have a contract with them, they technically are not a FSBO... even as a limited service.  Now with an non-exclusive contract they could still be FSBO.

We do not. In Idaho for an MLS entry only listing the brokerage still needs to keep a copy of all documents related to the file and be available to discuss offers. So... might as well just be full service. -Kasey
