FSBO: How hard is it to not stop and knock on this door today?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Advantage III Realty in Lake Nona BK3059813

Nearly 1 year ago, I cold called a BUY OWNER client who told me they had their home with BUYER OWNER and according to the company and the salesperson that took their $3000 in upfront fees, they were being advertised as broadly as any Realtor could do on the BUYER OWNER website.

Well, it has been a year and today I drove by their home and guess what...

The sign is still in the yard and they still own their home.

And here I am with this very serious video on my blog about the recent plight of the owner of FSBO who could not even sell his own home for 6 months, and finally hired an agent who not only sold his home for for a $150,000 profit.

How much self controll did I exercise not marching up their door today and sharing the video link to YOU TUBE with them?

When will they learn?

Just like when someone says Hyundai is just as good as Honda or Nissan is just as good as Toyota.  If the product could stand on it's own, it would not have to constantly compare itself to it's superior.

How about any of you folks that have not seen this yet and still think For Sale By Owner is still a great way to sell your home, read this:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/2436015/forsalebyowner-com-founder-sells-home-using-a-broker

After a year, it is probably a good time to knock on their door again, maybe they are getting tired.

There are some $499 flat fee MLS listing services around here that succeed in selling properties because they price them slightly under the market.  Low service high volume model can work for some consumers.
