What is FSBO?

FSBO is the shortened version of the phrase "For Sale By Owner." Any property (homes, condominiums, land, businesses, etc.) being sold by the owner with no help from a real estate agent is a FSBO. Most often, FSBO sellers advertise their properties on signs, websites, classified ads, flyers and word-of-mouth.

Advantages of Listing Your Home "For Sale By Owner"

Make Your Own Schedule - When you sell your home "For Sale By Owner" you'll always know when potential buyers will be stopping in to see the house. You schedule all the showings. Instead of being asked to leave your house at the last minute because your real estate agent wants to show it to some "tire-kicker", you get the chance to "pre-qualify" serious-minded buyers over the phone and allot yourself enough time to get your house in "show condition. Best of all, when an interested buyer makes an offer, there's no back-and-forth between real estate agents. With no middle-men to slow the process down, an agreement can usually be made quickly between the buyer and the FSBO seller..

You Know Your Home Best - When showing your house to a prospective buyer, you know what the highlights are, whether it’s the massive master bedroom or the perfect backyard landscaping. You are the one who knows what you've improved and what you should have. If you've kept your house maintained and price it right, the house will sell itself. You know what you like most abut your house, and selling FSBO puts you in the unique position of telling prospective buyers what they'll like, too.

You're The Boss - Selling FSBO keeps you in firm control of all the major decisions, including where and how to advertise and when to schedule showings. You even have the option of taking your home off the market for awhile if necessary. Most importantly, you can deal with potential buyers yourself. It can be frustrating having an agent show your house and not knowing exactly what's going on. What do the prospective buyers like about the house. What's working and what isn't. Talking to your prospective buyers reveals how serious they are about buying and what their timeframe and situation is. This person-to-person feedback is much more practical than wondering how things are going, or even more frustrating, why no one has made an offer yet.

Sell "For Sale By Owner" and you'll never have to worry about what kind of commitment your real estate agent has really made to selling your house. When you sell FSBO you're never obligated to a three, six, or 12-month contract—you're in control!

Save Lots of Money - Whenever you enlist the services of a real estate agent, they will expect their industry-standard 6% commission. On a $250,000 house that adds up to $15,000.00 right out of your profit. Is it really worth paying this much to have someone else show your property? We don't think so. Sell FSBO and keep your money.

Save Lots of Time - When listing your home with a real estate agent, the first inclination is to inflate your asking price to cover the cost of their commission. Before long you'll realize prospective buyers don't want to pay the commission either. You'll be forced to reduce your asking price or accept a lower offer if you want to sell the house. Sell FSBO and you can price it right from the get-go. Time is money, too.
