BUYERS, DON'T IGNORE THE FSBO MARKET!

Mortgage and Lending with Qivana NMLS # 17358

BUYERS BE THOROUGH! Don't forget the For Sale By Owner Market (edit/delete)

Don't forget about the FSBO Market! As inventory backs up and stale listings are pulled off of MLS, the private seller may be ready to accept the right offer. Maybe you drive by the property every day or just happen across it and see that beckoning sign? The sign packs a little more mystery, and it can be tougher to gauge the motivation of the seller. But the timing may just be perfect! So, pick up the cell phone and make the inquiry call.  As a professional in the Real Estate Industry since he turn of the century, one thing I've learned is that you buy when you need to and when it makes sense. Everyone wants to get a "deal", but some times the best deal is the one that's right in front of you. If you love the house, buy it. There's an old, but relavent saying, "Its not the timing of the market, but the time IN the market."

Most Difficult Tasks for FSBO Sellers:


Getting the right price

Preparing/fixing up home for sale

I think the same goes for agents, too.  Buyers AGENTS (and Listing Agents) don't ignore FSBO's.
