If I find a FSBO home by myself, does my agent get a commission?
The easy answer is: What does your contract say? But the bigger question is: Why hire a real estate agent in the first place when you can negotiate lower if there is no agent involved to eat away from the sellers listing price. Most FSBO sellers would prefer no agents be involved so if you want to purchase a home being sold directly by the owner as a For Sale By Owner then maybe you should wait till your buyer contract expires or after you see the home by yourself scheduled with the owner at 9610 Saddle Dr.,Frisco,TX 75035 by calling #917-864-4082 and if you like it, you can see if you can cancel your agent contract before we can move ahead. The agent does not need to know the reason as no time was taken out of their day to show you the home so no explanation is necessary. If you do not cancel the contract it most likely states that you will still need to pay them their commission if the seller does not. Hence it is best for you to looks at FSBO's on your own before getting into any contract with a buyers agent.

Do I need to show a mortgage pre-approval for a FSBO to the Seller?
If you check with a bank to see if you are pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage at the listed price you reduce the hurdles between you and a sale. It also gives the seller encouragement that taking time filling out paperwork with you and their title company won't be a waste of time if you don't get approved later, which they could have spent with another buyer.
