Going Fizzbo

My piece on FSBOs is in today's LA Times:

Saving money is the big appeal for many who choose to sell a home as a "fizzbo" — the colloquial pronunciation of the acronym FSBO, meaning "for sale by owner." But this is not like clipping coupons. George Devine, a California broker and author of "For Sale by Owner in California," doesn't think of FSBOs as saving a commission. Instead, he said, they're "earning it."
