This is a for sale by owner.

I highly doubt it. Agents aren't going to spend time showing people your place at a reduced commission when they could show a similar place in the same building or down the road and get a full commission. I'd guess the opposite, they'll probably go out of their way to make sure their clients don't view your place. I'm so anti salesmen it isn't even funny but the odds of you selling your place without an agent are not very good.
When I sold my last place I was given 3 different options on commission that went up in percentages. The differences in commission allotted more money for the buying agent. When you offer a higher commission the other agents would go out of their way to show your place first because if their client bought it they'd make more money which makes sense. At the end of the day the most money possible in the agents pocket is their bottom line and all they really care about.
Goodluck with your sale, hope it works for out.
