He's just offering to give you the MLS data on what other comparable houses in your neighborhood have sold for, or are listed for. My wife is a realtor for a real small mom and pop shop here and she offers to do comps for people all the time just to be nice. It's not hard to pull the listings and it gives the seller a lot of real numbers to consider.

None of this may mean anything to you if are doing everything FSBO, but I figured I'd mention it.

My wife got her RE license when we decided to buy our last house. There was a cost and some time involved, but it was worth saving the fees both on the sale of our previous house and the purchase of the new house. It wasn't 6% on both ends, but it easily covered her fees for the year and a kitchen remodel in the new house.
