So how do Realtors find buyers versus how a "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) home owner might find buyers?  The basic techniques of a FSBO home owner are pretty much limitied to planting a "FSBO" sale in the front yard and maybe advertising in the local newspaper in the classified section.  The home owner must then contend with handling an abundance of calls from mostly not so qualified buyers trying to find a bargain or perhaps an owner who is willing to finance because the potential clients credit is "Not So Great"!

On the other hand, let an experienced and professional Realtor such as myself list your property and a very intricate and efficient process will be activated to generate a successful sale of your home.

Realtors have backlogs of potential and qualified buyers whom are looking for homes in your respective area.  As well, your home will be listed in the local Multiple Listing Service where all brokers cooperate with one another to market, show, and sell your home to all of these backlogged and new potential buyers.  Realtors such as myself also combine direct marketing methods, telephone calls, a varying degree of advertising media exposure of your property from local newspapers, TV, Radio, and Home Sales advertising booklets.  As well we employee internet advertising and have our own websites to directly target the ever growing internet savy real estate shopper.  All of these means combine to create activity on your listed home and is designed to make it sell quickly and for top dollar.  Remember, as Realtors, we do not make a dime until our customers are happily setting at the closing table.

If I can answer any question on your home selling or buying needs, please give me a call.

Hi Ron.  Nice post.  Good to have all those ideas put together so concisely.  I usually just wing it.

Keep up the great work.

Good post - Especially in this tougher market, FSBO's won't have much success on their own... Thanks for sharing the ideas
