Top Seller Tips on FSBO.com
Log in Regularly:
Check your Hit Counter, re-word description, check for messages, upload new photos, add open houses, etc… (Stay active and regularly update your listing information)
Add Photos To Listing:
Listings with photos get significantly more activity than listings without. If you have trouble adding your own photos, please email or mail them to FSBO.com so we can add them to your listing for you. (You may add unlimited photos to your listing at no charge)
Add a Property Video to your Listing:
75% of U.S. Web Users prefer to watch videos online. Uploading a Video to your listing is free and easy. The suggested length for a property video should be no longer than 2-3 minutes.
Add a Tag Line to your description:
Example Tag Lines: “Reduced”, ”Must Sell”, “Still Available as of xx/xx/20xx”, “Make Me an Offer”. Change this message daily if you have to, just to let the buyers know you are serious about selling your home.
Hold Open Houses:
Post Open House dates on your listing using the improved Open House feature. Buyers can now search specifically for Open Houses in their area.
Be Responsive:
Make sure you are readily available to take or return phone calls from potential buyers. Expect phone calls from strange numbers and be willing to answer them. Don’t waste time fighting with agents soliciting your business. Simply tell them you are not interested, and end the call. (See our FAQ page for instructions on getting registered on the National Do Not Call List)
Property Brochures:
Make sure you have a full supply of brochures available for your home. You can print unlimited flyers from your listing or you can order color brochures online from the “FSBO Store”
FSBO.com Yard Sign:
Upgrade to a listing package that includes a FSBO.com yard sign. This will display a direct link to your listing online for buyers to view more photos and information.
Accurate Pricing:
The #1 mistake FSBO sellers make is over pricing their home. Just remember you are saving 3-6% more than your neighbor selling the exact same house. Price yourself a little below the market, and still net more in the end without using an agent.
Be Prepared:
A prepared seller will have contracts ready for buyers to fill out on the spot, as well as have a mortgage professional to refer if the buyer is not yet pre-qualified.
PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL FSBO.COM WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING SELLING YOUR HOME FOR SALE BY OWNER ON FSBO.COM.
