We also have an established on-line presence offering exposure through 3 top websites. In addition, the exclusive For Sale By Owner TV Show can be seen 3 times daily on TimeWarner channel 7.

Let us "de-mystify" the process of selling a home by owner! We will show you how home owners with virtually no real estate experience can indeed sell their own property better than anyone else can and do it quicker & net more at the same time!

A trillion-dollar industry has misinformed you that you cannot and should not sell your own real estate... That you should rely on someone else (with fees) because you need a "professional" agent with a fancy office, a listing service, sales assistants, cell phone, laptop PC, glamour photo and a big car to sell it for you. Billions of dollars in potential commissions are on the table, and the real estate agent's marketing was supposedly clear: "As just an average home owner, you do not have the knowledge to sell your own property." Wrong!

We believe that many homeowners are more than qualified to sell their own real estate. Our mission is to empower home sellers with the knowledge and tools to not only compete with the best agents, but to significantly outperform them. Our FSBO program does just that.

Nationally, almost 30% of all homes sold are sold by owner. We see the metro's largest real estate firms now beginning to offer reduced commissions, discount brokers offering reduced or even free listing services, and agents more willing than ever to reduce their outrageously high commission splits.
