It is the sellers responsibility to do their homework. Previous respondant, Melissa S. is exactly right. My experience was almost exactly the same.
The main point I would add is that you may find it easier being the FSBO agent from the seller-side ... but rely upon the role of the the agent from the buyer side.
Be willing and calculated in your pricing to afford up to 3% to buyers agent. We were successful in selling in 30 days largely because a buyer's agent was willing to bring their clients to our home.
It does take more commitment and engagement on the part of the seller. You will have to be available to show the home and provide flyers, disclosure statements, etc.
But the financial return can be well worth it.
One should consider the market (city/location), consider availability, know your market pricing, research, research, research ... but DO IT. It works.

I ran into the unfortunate circumstance of having to sell my home but just couldn't justify paying a real estate agent 6% on the sale so I decided to try forsalebyowner.com.
I sold my home in a month. Even though I had to come down on my price I had prepared for this when pricing my home. I walked away from the deal with more money in my pocket than had I gone through a real estate agent.
I have recommended this service to all of my friends.
Would I use them again? You bet!!!
