What is fsbo?

FSBO is simply an acronym for For Sale By Owner and pinpoints properties that are not being sold through a real estate agent or broker. Finding these types of properties is as simple as reading through your newspaper or surfing the internet.

Take the stress out of the equation

The best way to take stress out of selling a home is by making sure that everything done is done on your own terms. Showings are set and determined by you, so there is never a surprise showing that you have to clean your home for and find somewhere else to be. You don’t have to make sure your house is cleaned up every day just in case an agent wants to show it. Putting yourself in control removes all of this third party interaction and puts you in a much more efficient state of direct content with prospective buyers.

Leave the selling to you

Getting a real estate agent to feel as passionately about a home as you do is next to impossible. Because you have years in the property and know everything about the home and its surrounding area, who is a better resource to sell the home when the time comes. You know the additions you made to add value to the home and you know who the neighbors are when it a prospective buyers asks. Because homes that are priced well and look nice generally sell easily, this extra bit of selling will only help what should be a simple process.

Take control for yourself

No agent is able to put his or her own agenda above yours when you go through the home selling process yourself. Everything that has to be done over the course of a real estate transaction is done to your own specifications. You can choose how and where to advertise, when to show the property and when to modify the price if necessary. You deal directly with prospective buyers and can save time in communication by not including a third party like a real estate agent. You don’t have to worry about what your real estate agent is doing at all times because you are your own agent.

Save money, of course:

A real estate agent is typically paid around five percent to six percent of the home’s sale value and that money has to come from somewhere. The reality is that it comes out of your pocket and going through the FSBO process yourself allows you to save that money and use it for things you care about, not a real estate agent’s car payment.

Quick and efficient:

Because you have to cover a real estate agent commission if you do not sell for yourself, that often entails raising the price to cover that added cost. Because these raised prices often do not sell, you will either have to lower your price or accept an low ball offer that you could have gotten through a FSBO deal yourself without any kind of commission to be paid. Because you have the ability to run the process properly from the beginning, you can make sure you sell the property quickly and efficiently.
