If you’re selling FSBO, you might assume that the buyer’s agent will handle the paperwork—so why bother with extra protection?

📢 Here’s the problem: The buyer’s agent does NOT work for you. They work for the buyer—and their job is to protect them, not you.

This false assumption costs FSBO sellers thousands in unexpected fees, legal risks, and lost leverage. Here’s what you need to know:

🚨 The Buyer’s Agent Works for the Buyer—Not You

✅ Their #1 goal is to get the best deal for their client. They have zero obligation to protect your interests.

✅ They strategically insert buyer-friendly terms. That means hidden fees, repair credits, and contingencies that benefit the buyer, not you.

✅ They will not ensure your paperwork is complete. If something is missing, you’re the one legally exposed—not them.

🚨 What Happens When You Rely on the Buyer’s Agent for Paperwork?

❌ You sign what they give you—but what’s missing? They won’t tell you.

❌ You assume it’s standard—but standard for who? The buyer.

❌ You trust it’s fair—but in whose favor? Not yours.

Buyer’s agents provide only the minimum required documents to keep their buyer safe—while leaving you exposed to risk.

They won’t:

• Issue a Notice to Perform if the buyer is delaying contingencies.

• Push for addendums that protect you—they prefer fewer documents, not more.

• Remind you to act if deadlines are being missed.

🚨 They Provide Paperwork, But That Doesn’t Mean You’re Protected

FSBO sellers assume the buyer’s agent will take care of everything. Here’s what actually happens:

❌ They don’t provide state-mandated seller disclosures. That’s YOUR responsibility, and if you miss one, you’re open to legal trouble.

❌ They won’t walk you through the contract. They’ll just say, “This is standard,” while every checked box benefits their buyer.

❌ Your file will be incomplete, leaving you open to lawsuits. The buyer’s agent only ensures their client is protected—not you.

💡 FSBO sellers assume full liability without insurance or legal protections.
