What is fsbo?
FSBO is shorthand for "For Sale By Owner." The term is used to identify
property, usually homes, which are sold by the owner without help from a real
estate agent. Typically, owners advertise their properties by means of websites,
classified ads, word of mouth, and other means.
REASONS WHY LISTING YOUR HOME "FSBO" MAKES SENSE.
For Sale By Owner.com helps make selling a home fsbo easy. We sell more homes
for sale by owner than all of our competitors combined. Additionally,
ForSaleByOwner.com has saved consumers over $1,000,000,000.00 (one billion) in
commissions since 1999!
Less hassle and frustration
When selling a home for sale by owner, you don't have to leave the house every
time some agent wants to show it, or clean it every morning before leaving "just
in case." You know when people are coming and can prepare for them accordingly.
And, when a prospective buyer makes an offer, there's not all the frustrating
back-and-forth telephone tag between agents to reach an agreement. It can be
done in minutes and usually ends with a friendly handshake and smile between the
fsbo seller and buyer.
You can sell your home better than anyone
You know your home best. You know what to highlight and what to downplay much
better than some agent who is seeing the house for the first time.. A well
maintained, fairly priced home virtually sells itself; your role is to simply
provide additional information.
You're in control
Nobody is going to tell you what to do. Selling "FSBO" means you can advertise
where and how you want to (not sit by in frustration because "they're not doing
enough"), schedule showings when it's convenient for you, talk directly with
prospective buyers yourself, even take your for sale by owner house off the
market for awhile if you need to. You aren't obligated to a 3, 6, or 12 month
contract...you make your own rules.
More $$$ in your pocket
Calculate 5-7% of what you think your property is worth, and then ask yourself:
Is it worth paying this much to have someone else show my property, act as a
go-between to negotiate the sale and coordinate closing schedules with the
lender and lawyer? Unless your last name is Trump, chances are the answer is NO,
and that's why selling for sale by owner makes sense.
You can sell your home faster
If you list your home with a real estate agent, you'll probably inflate the
asking price to cover the cost of the commission. Two to four months later
you'll come to the painful realization that no one is going to buy your home at
that price, and you'll end up reducing your price (or accepting an offer) equal
to the original amount you would have asked if selling it fsbo (not to mention
the fact that you'll still have to pay the agent his/her commission). Do it
right the first time, and avoid taking the loss.
