Marketing / Showing

The most popular websites to market your listing are Zillow, Forsalebyowner.com, Nextdoor, and Craigslist. 

Since Zillow seems to be the most popular method for FSBO, let’s weigh the pros and cons and see if it’s right for you.

Major Pros: 

1. It’s Free! 

2. It's VERY popular

Major Cons:

1. You will have TONS of calls from realtors who want to sell your property. 

2. There is a service marketed to real estate agents known as “Live Connection Leads”. This means when a potential buyer calls the additional phone line that is referenced on your property listing, it will be routed to a buyer’s agent. They will in return represent the buyer, CHARGE you a commission and negotiate against you. For more information on this click Here

Avoid showing your home to strangers while you are alone. It’s imperative to document any agent's name, company name, and license number when allowing them to show the property. Safety first!

If you opt for an open house, make sure you have someone with you for safety and have all visitors sign in.
