We're all about providing unparalled multi-media exposure to promote the sale of your home. After all, selling your home is all about exposure. The more exposure to as many different diverse groups of people, the better the chance you will find your buyer. If you just install a sign in your front yard you are relying on drive-by traffic. If you just run an ad in the local paper you are limiting yourself to those who get the local paper. At For Sale By Owner we believe strongly in multi-media exposure. Some buyers like look at real estate magazines, some like to browse the web, some watch TV while others drive around looking for signs. Why not reach them all in one consistent market approach? Here's how we do it...

Tips

A house is only worth what it is worth regardless of whether a real estate agent is involved or not. So, a home that is worth $100,000 that is offered by the homeowner is still worth $100,000 if it is offered by an agent. The difference is that a FSBO has that additional 6-7% negotiation room. For example: If a homeowner sells that $100,000 home for $98,000, they have made more money than if they had to pay a real estate agent $6,000 or $7,000 in a commission. AND, the buyer has saved $2,000... instant equity!

It has been said that the buyer does not pay the real estate commission. Well... using the previous example, who really paid the commission? Both the buyer and seller did. The buyer in the form of a higher sales price, and the seller in the form of a reduced equity check.

You know what you want better than anyone else. And, you can see whatever you want when you want. Some agents show homes by whether or not it is listed with their company, not by whether the home suits the buyer's requirements. And, before you know it, you may be looking at homes that are more than what you want.

You're dealing with the source. The seller knows their house better than any real estate agent could. They can answer your questions about schools, shopping, and how much their utility bills are. They can tell you that the neighborhood has get-togethers and cook-outs, who the neighborhood baby sitter is, etc. AND, they don't have to call another agent who calls the seller, then calls the agent back, who then calls you.
