If you're looking at one of his listings, and you tell him you're selling your house FSBO, and haven't even put it on the market yet, he would be smart to run from you. You're essentially wasting his time and money.

Don't mean to be critical of you. But from a business perspective, why would he invest his resources in a prospect that's clearly not serious. In this market, FSBO's are not likely to result in a quick, or reasonably quick sale (unless you're in the biz yourself).

What chance does he have of selling you a new primary residence if you've not even started marketing yours? And worse, after you've stated you're going to DIY.

If you're serious, let him provide a valuation, and if he's a good guy, give him the listing.
