Dear FSBO (for sale by owner): 1)  I understand that you want to do it yourself, I'm the same way sometimes.  Sure, I could pay somebody to do just about anything for me, but I believe I can do it myself and save some money.  I understand that I might not do it as well as a pro, but that's genera...

That is the question! Let's say you are trying to sell a house (imagine that.)  You're getting some showings and some buyers that seem interested, but no offers.  It is no secret that foot traffic does not always yield offers, but it does yield prospects.
