fsbo: How to Market Your Clemmons Home for Sale by Owner Online, OR NOT!!! - 05/24/12 01:44 PM
FOR SALE BY OWNER?? They don't know what they don't know.
I've watched For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listings for years. I've worked with many home buyers that attempted to sell their existing home as a FSBO.
In addition to the many pricing, showing, qualifying, etc. skills the average listing agent has, the most important one is knowing how and when to say. . . .
"Would You Like To Make An Offer??"
Of course, the agent has the contract documents right there on the table.

"Just what do they do for all that money that I wasn't doing?" Comment by a FSBO.
THAT is the question asked by many home owner/sellers when they try to sell their property without engaging a real estate agent to list and sell the property. They, consumers, really cannot fathom the massive industry structure that supports each and every real estate licensee in this country.
WHY DO HOME OWNER/SELLERS BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN DO WHAT WE DO?? Inspired by a post this a.m. by Mike Jones, a past experience is one that always comes to mind when that question is asked.

fsbo: GOVERNMENT CHIPPING AWAY AT THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, ONE RULE AT A TIME. - 02/12/10 06:04 AM
HOW FAR WILL THE CANADIAN BUREAU OF COMPETITION GO TO FORCE THE MLS TO OPEN THE DOORS TO FSBO OWNERS?
and
IS THERE A RACE BETWEEN THE CANADIAN BUREAU OF COMPETITION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION TO TURN THE MLSs OVER TO THE PUBLIC?
Seems to me that if a real estate broker wishes to offer limited services to the public they are already free to do so. HOWEVER, it appears that the Canadian (and US) government wishes to let the consumer dictate brokerage models to real estate brokers.
Living in Minnesota, I'm sure that Charles Dailey is more aware … (37 comments)

fsbo: BOB STEWART - YOU ASKED FOR IT. REAL ESTATE AGENTS ARE CENTRAL TO THE REAL ESTATE MARKET - 03/12/08 09:36 AM
Inspired by Bob Stewart's comment on Gary Bolen's post Yesterday's article "Extraordinary Measures": Should a Writer about our Industry Hear from our Industry?
Enjoy. Little has changed. The media still portray us as contributing little to the home buying process. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Of course, if I'd written the article today, I'd have a few more images for interest.
