Can it be an FSBO if realtor is involved?

sometimes I see an "FSBO" in CL that turns out to be being sold by an agent. Is that just tricky marketing or what?

I suppose some unscrupulous real estate agent could be doing some kind of "bait and switch" gimmick. But he/she would be risking a lot in most states for deceptive advertising.

The more likely scenario is it's an agent selling his/her own property. And in most states, agents are required to disclose their status as real estate agents even when selling their own home.
