| Our Happy Customers |
| All
of these people have one thing in common. They
were told by a trillion dollar industry that
they could not sell their own homes. Over and
over the real estate industry tried to convince
them that they didn't have the "expertise" to
sell their home. "Leave it to a professional", "You
don't know how to price your home", "You
don't know how to market your home", "The
disclosure laws are very complicated",
blah, blah, blah. These people are here to tell
you that you can sell on your own...just like
they did. The National Association of Realtors
in a recent radio campaign touted "It's
your life..we let you live it". Well,
here at For Sale By Owner we like to say "It's
your equity...we let you keep it!" |
|
"FSBO products and services are just as effective as traditional
real estate but at a fraction of the cost. I had over 50 real
estate agents call to tell me that I couldn't sell my home
without their help. Glad I could prove them all wrong and
keep over $5,000 in my pocket, not theirs!" |
| "It worked very, very well
and saved us a great deal of money. We feel that this method
was easy for us. We sold
our home in 10 days from the first time the magazine came
out. We had great exposure and loads of calls and many people
thru
in the 2 weekends that we showed the house." |
|
|
"You can choose your
options. No commission is great." |
| "We paid $400
instead of $8,000. This is the 3rd house we have sold using
your signs. All sold in short time...of course, our houses
are clean, well maintained and priced right. We had appraisals & sold
around that price." |
|
|
"Today's homebuyer is
wiser than ten years ago. He or she uses all resources including
FSBO and the internet.
The response that we received from FSBO was overwhelming.
We averaged 6 to 8 calls and at least 2 showings every week.
With FSBO we had complete control of the selling process." |
| "I felt using FSBO was
more tailored to my needs than a traditional agent without
all the pushiness one is bombarded
with using an agent. I found FSBO experience very rewarding.
I sold our house after the 1st issue came out. The response
to your magazine is much better than the newspapers as the
callers seem more interested in looking at the house. I rec'd
more calls from the TU however, I received more serious calls
from FSBO. I have recommended your publication to friends
as well as people who have called for my house who needed
to sell theirs. I would definitely utilize your services in
the future if the need to sell my new house arises. Thank
you for all your help." |
|
|
"No pressure from an agent to do what they want. I
did not have open houses. I only did by appointment showings.
This allowed me to be in control." |
"We had our house listed with an agent for 6 months
with no offers. It was listed with FSBO and we had 2 offers
within 3 weeks."
|
|
|
"It's independent sales work. There's no one to keep
calling and no schedule to keep regarding an agent. In addition,
all the showings, in essence, the seller gets paid for since
there's no commission to pay. We sold for the asking price." |
| "Your magazine alone had our phone ringing off the
hook! Our home sold in 3 weeks! Plus - we had 2 offers prior
to that and another one the day after. Homes for sale with
realtors in our neighborhood were on the market for 6 months.
And we got a better price - without having to pay commissions.
You know your home and neighborhood better than anyone else.
Realtors can't answer the questions we did. What are the neighbors
like? Any children? Why are you moving? Customers get the
whole picture. Not just whether or not they like the floor
plan." |
|
|
"In addition to putting our house for sale with FSBO,
we also put it in the Multiple Listing Service. We had very
few agents come thru our house and when they did it was not
a pleasant experience. The agents just wanted to check off
that they had shown their clients one more house. They never
wanted to hear any of the attributes of the house. Who better
to sell your house than yourself. I would never use a real
estate agent. Thanks for your help!" |
"FSBO is the way to go. My house was under contract
3 weeks from the start. We had over 75 calls and 3 people
fighting each other to buy my house."
|
 |
|
"I like the idea of no ""hard pressure sell"" because
I make the decisions. It's better than when you deal with
a realtor who is looking out more for themselves than you.
I was wise to decide to look into your services. I have avidly
followed many of your previous issues even before I decided
to sell my house. I like the personal touch, where the owners
do their own advertising. From my previous experience with
realtors, it has come to my attention they truly are looking
to make a buck more than being 100% truthful when selling
one's property. Basically, I couldn't be happier with the
results and exposure I received by using your services. I
sold my home in 5 days. What more can one ask for?" |
"Fantastic! We saved
$8,000 and everyone at FSBO was very helpful with my ad
and information box data. I would
highly recommend FSBO. The staff made it very easy for us
to sell our house with the house being advertised on the internet,
TV and the magazine. We received over 50 inquiries, some as
far away as Long Island and Massachusetts. A very rewarding
experience for us. I strongly recommend FSBO as the way to
sell your home. Thank you."
|
|
|
"Your services are well written and cover a huge area.
We were very pleased with the results of our advertising with
FSBO. Our first ad & TV showing was June 30th. On July
6th we showed the house to our potential buyer and had an
offer July 8th. Previously, we had out house for sale with
a well known realtor for 2 years and they did very little
advertising. You can't beat the coverage of your magazine,
internet & TV
ads. Thank you." |
"I just want to thank
you for all your help. We sold arour house in 8 weeks and
saved alot of money and also bought
a home from people listed by FSBO."
|
|
|
"I like to be in charge of my own affairs and FSBO
lets you take charge. Fast and easy, like selling a car!" |
| "After 2.5 years with the local realtor, no luck. In
only 2 months with FSBO it sold. This is the only way to go!" |
|
|
"FSBO is just as effective as realtors. Your professional
looking signs and information box sold our home in 2 1/2 weeks." |
"Real estate agents won't
bother with open house, if you want your home seen you are
told to be their guest and
show it. I took it away from the real estate because of that
reason. If i have to show it, why not sell it on my own. I
closed the 30th of June, sold it April 14th. I believe it
had only gotten in one book."
|
|
|
"You did everything just
right, especially TV & computer
ads. When FSBO called to ask us if we's like to renew our
ad, we were delighted to say NO, thanks to you we sold all
4 of the houses we had advertised. We are a homeowner program
funded by HUD and use FSBO exclusively to sell our new construction.
We save the commissisons and can do more houses because of
not having that expense. FSBO does a fantastic job giving
us the exposure to sell our houses. So far we've sold 8 new
construction homes this way. It's the only way to go for us.
|
"We felt that your products and services were extremely
helpful in the sale of our home and FSBO services are more
personal and hands on for the seller. FSBO made the sale of
our home a pleasant and virtually effortless experience. We
would use FSBO again and intend to recommend FSBO to any and
all we know interested in selling their home. Thank you FSBO."
|
|
|
"FSBO services and products were superior to those
offered by 5 individual real estate companies/agents we interviewed.
Thank you! We saved time and a great deal of money, we sold
our house and settled within 4 months of posting our FSBO
sign." |
"The staff was extremely
helpful and knowledgable. The products are professional
and there is a great amount
of exposure. We were able to sell our home in 2 weeks! We
were also able to market it better through our own info sheets
and showing the house more readily than any agent."
|
|
|
"Agents provide useful
information and insight but not enough to pay all that money
for. We were able to successfully
sell on our own using your marketing"
|
| "This price is much better than traditional real estate
agent. I liked the fact that we were in control for such items
as running open houses. Our home sold within two weeks through
the advertisements. We also had 3 other couples interested
in placing an offer." |
|
|
"The signs and the ad
in the magazine work great. I sold my houe in 10 minutes.
The ad was in the magazine
on Monday and sold it on Tuesday in 10 minutes. The first
caller came on Tuesday and it was sold. It was the price I
wanted, I did not dicker and I saved about $3,325 that the
real estate would of charged me at 6% commission for selling
my house."
|
| "We had our house listed with an agent for a year.
What we discovered, after signing up with
FSBO, is that my husband and I were better sales people than
the agent. FSBO allowed us to filter out the less serious
prospects and focus on the true contenders. We were able to
schedule our own open houses and visits in a more efficient
manner. We were also able to drop our price $10,000 to make
it more competitive and actually made $2,000 more than we
would have if we had to pay the agents commission." |
|
|
"We are quite satisfied by the response we received
from your products (Magazine, TV & internet). Your products
and newspaper ads were the only vehicles we used to sell our
home. The newspaper ads were used to advertise the open house."
|
"Offering buyers no pressure
selling I think is much more inviting to people. Realtors
are too fake. I was amazed
at how many calls I had about my house. I showed it almost
20 times in less than 3 weeks with at least 2 couples wanting
to make bids. I had listed my house one year ago for 6 months
with a realtor who showed the house 3 times."
|
|
|
"I think more and more
people are looking for bargains these days. When a realtor
is involved you have to raise the
price way up to get the amount you actually want. Anyway,
we are still receiving calls long after the ad expired. It
worked! We saved $9,450
minus your $500. Wow!"
|
"The greatest products
and service for such a low price. Sold house day after magazine
came out. Showed it to one family
and they came back that evening with a deposit."
|
|
|
"Your products and services
are excellent. Between the magazine, internet and TV, we
only needed to have 1 open
house. We never thought selling our home would be so easy.
The day we listed our house we got at least 5 calls a day.
We saved over $7,000 in commissions that would have been handed
over to a real estate agent. |
"FSBO provides same results faster and cheaper than
real estate agents. Excellent service, helpful staff. Received
over 50 responses and sold within 2 weeks. Continued receiving
calls even after sale and photo was no longer in book. Color
photo was a definite plus. I would recommend your service
to anyone selling a home. TV showing also excellent way to
show home."
|
|
|
"The degree of media coverage is superior with print,
internet & TV, your product is far superior to both newspaper
and real estate broker coverage. Our buyer first saw house
on the internet, that's a big plus since more and more people
utilize it. I have nothing but good things to say. The speed
at which we sold the house was amazing. I believe that was
because the right buyer saw it. We had previously shown it
to about 12 couples. The photo is a big plus. The prospective
buyer gets a look first, which spurs further interest. Great
marketing tool!" |
| "FSBO is much easier
to use and much less expensive. I could control how much
money I would receive from the sale
of the house without a 6% loss after accepting an offer." |
|
|
"I was very happy with the quality of the ad and our
results. We advertised with color advertisement. It was a
very nice quality. We sold from that ad in 7 days. We had
4 showings that week and after that had received about 40
calls from the ad." |
| "We feel FSBO offers all the services we would have
used. FSBO was the first selling or advertising we used and
we were very happy working with the staff. It is our opinion
that home-sellers should use FSBO first - it worked for us!
We were fully prepared to take 1-2 years to sell our home.
Thanks to FSBO, we sold it in 36 days." |
|
|
"Much more economical products and services are offered
by FSBO. A great way to sell!"
|
" In 2 months, our home
was sold, compared to the previous 6 months when we were
with a realtor. My husband
wanted to use FSBO when we first put our home on the market.
I was concerned about not being in the MLS, thinking it would
limit the ability to reach the greatest number of potential
buyers. So...we contracted with a traditional realtor for
6 months and never got an offer (not even one we could refuse!).
We then listed with FSBO on the deadline date. There were
many inquiries, and within
2 months
we were
able to sell our home to an out of state, first time homeowner.
We saved thousands of dollars and sold our house in 2 months
- so who needs realtors???"
|
|
|
"With all the pro-realtor
advertising you see and hear, homeowners are led to believe
that they can't sell a home
without the realtor's help. Well, we can attest to the fact
that YES YOU CAN! I admit that getting a house ready to show
and having open house's does take some time, but because we
did it ourselves, we were in control. Besides, not having
to pay the realtor's commission helped out in our down payment
for our new house (which was purchased without any realtor
involvement). I would definitely work with FSBO again. I think
the services offered is tremendous. The publication and internet
made our house accessible to the general public. Thank you
for your service."
|
| "You have full knowledge of your home for those interested
and negotiating is better when you know the terms needed for
both parties. Our first contract was received after having
our house for sale by owner within 1 week. Another contract
was received 2 weeks later. We did not agree to the terms
of these 2 contracts. Then we received the accepted contract
and sold our home. I liked FSBO so that I could show our house
as often as I wanted and had full knowledge of the house for
perspective buyers." |
|
|
"We were very pleased with
the number of people who called and came through during the
subscription time. Which
by the way was only 2 issues! Surprisingly enough, the folks
who bought our place found it on your internet service!! We
literally saved $10K plus - WOW - thank you FSBO. We must
add, dealing with the staff was a most pleasurable experience." |
| "Your staff was very easy to work with and your products
were 1st class." |
|
|
"FSBO is the best way to go. Products and services
are almost identical to real estate. The only thing extra
you need is motivation and a desire to sell your house. Staff
was very friendly and knowledgable. They got us started in
the right direction. Thank you." |
| "Traditional real estate agents
tend to bring immediate interest to your house but at a much
higher cost to the seller
(7% etc.). We're very pleased with the interest we received
in our house generated by the magazine, internet and other
advertising services. We had plenty of interest and the house
sold quickly, but it took awhile to get the majority of phone
calls about the house.Overall, we're very pleased with FSBO
and how quickly we were able to sell the house. It's a great
alternative to listing with a realtor." |
|
|
"There is no comparison between FSBO and real estate.
FSBO is beyond belief, the phone never stopped ringing.A buyer
was obtained within 6 weeks. The only costs were the price
of the ad, approximately $550. which is much less than 1%
of the selling price. Who needs a real estate agent which
would cost 4-8% of the selling price? FSBO IS THE WAY TO GO!" |
"We are completely satisfied with the expediancy involved
in the sale of our house. We listed our house on 4/5/ and
on 4/18 we had an offer that we accepted. We had 2 open
houses and many lookers. We had more calls in 1 day than we
had in the total 6 months that it was in real estate hands.
The people who bought our home listed theirs for sale by owner
the day after they made an offer on ours. They too sold theirs
in a 2 week time frame. The internet & TV coverage was
where the most calls on the house came from."
|
|
|
"The services and products were excellent. The book
about selling your own home was very helpful. We sold our
home in 7 weeks using your service. We advertised in a number
of papers, but your book that comes out every 3 weeks generated
80-90% of the calls. You offer an excellent service at a very
reasonable cost. Thank you." |
"The FSBO magazine gave
far more exposure than a real estate agent can offer. We
couldn't be happier with your service!!"
|
|
|
"By using FSBO we received calls from a wide range
of people. I feel you have all the products necessary for
a complete sale. Thank you so much for the great service you
provide. Your customer service is excellent. We used other
advertisements and had very little success. With the great
help of your staff we choose just the right package for our
needs and we were off and running." |
| "I believe the services at FSBO matches those offered
by a real estate agent. We sold our home within a few days
with FSBO. We were pleased in all aspects." |
