For Sale by Owner Colonie
On March 2, 1921 - the Village of Colonie was incorporated. The
first Board of Trustees meeting was held four weeks later at the Colonie Village schoolhouse at 8:00 p.m, Wednesday, March 30, 1921, with the Mayor, Charles H. Collins, presiding over the Board of Trustees. That night the Village government borrowed $500 for the purpose of defraying expenses of the incorporation, created the office of Police Justice, set a tax rate of $3.00 per $1,000 assessed valuation, established the first Village budget at $1285, and the Village was in business. The Village of Colonie was little more than twin ribbons of buildings on either side of Central Avenue, stretching from the traffic light on Wolf Road to the traffic light on the western side of the Village.

BENEFIT BREAKFAST A SUCCESS!!!
On Saturday, November 5th, a benefit breakfast was held at the Village of Colonie Family Recreation Center to help out those impacted by Hurricane Katrina, and to support youth programs at the Family Recreation Center.
The event was conceived, coordinated and chaired by Jamie Ritz, a Youth and Family Services employee. With over 200 hundred people attending the breakfast, more than $1300 was raised. According to Jamie, “we are sending half of the money to the Manilow Fund, and they will match that amount to benefit the hurricane relief efforts. The rest of the money will be used for programs and supplies to benefit the children at the Village of Colonie Family Recreation Center.” More...
Welcome
to Capital District For
Sale By Owner, which is locally owned
and operated. Since 1988 we have been serving the Colonie,
NY and surrounding areas providing homeowners with an
alternative to commission-based real estate. Our goal
is to provide the homeseller with maximum multi-media
exposure needed to successfully sell their home on their
own without paying commission. Our customers typically sell
faster and net more money than those who go
the conventional method of home selling. In fact,
when surveyed, 99% of our customers say they would use For
Sale By Owner to sell their next home!
Our
Magazine, with over 30,000 copies distributed
to high traffic locations in a five county area. 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. Lastly we provide all of
the signage, forms, fact sheets, etc needed to complete
the sale. You'll get the maximum exposure you need to sell
your home. You're in control - you call the shots,
and you keep your hard earned equity instead of spending
thousands of dollars in commissions.
Let
us "de-mystify" the process of selling a home
by owner! We will show you how home owners with virtually
no real estate sales experience can indeed sell their own
property better than anyone else can and do it quicker & net
more at the same time!
The real estate industry has misinformed you that you cannot
and should not sell your own property... 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 most homeowners are more than qualified to sell their
own property. 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, and 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. |
