More For Sale By Owner Tips

If you are selling your own home - you have several options. You can use online services of byowner.com and other similar sites. You can use limited service broker who will post your listing on MLS at nominal fee. You will of course put a sign For Sale By Owner in the yard with your phone number. I am not about to list the challenges FSBO face (I am partial because I am a real estate agent). Rather I would like to offer some tips that might help those who decide to do so.

1. Make sure you did your research and establish the right price
2. As much as possible announce you are agent friendly (if you are) and how much commission you will pay
3. Use as many online FREE and PAID promotional sites as possible
4. Make a custom For Sale By Owner Sign (will cost you about $150). Make it a different and memorable color. Buyers driving by will not confuse your home with someone else's later on.
5. Make the phone number on sign visible.
6. Give as much privacy to the agent to show the property as possible (you should have some trust of course, collect business cards)
7. "Pre-qualify" your drive-by onlookers with questions like: do you own currently? when are you planning on moving? are you pre-qualified with a lender.
