Dear MarketWatch, 
I am hoping to be a first-time homebuyer soon. I have worked with a real-estate agent for a few months, who has shown me some nice places, but nothing has really felt like the “right” place yet. One potential spot popped up for sale recently but it is “for sale by owner.” The real estate agent told me that would mean the commission would be factored into the sale price for me to pay, as opposed to the owner of the home paying that bill.
