fsbo: For Sale By Owners in Carlsbad - What Are you Afraid Of?
- 03/29/07 12:44 PM
So, you have decided to become an "unrepresented seller" and broker your own Carlsbad home (or as more commonly called, be a FSBO), or wherever you are. My guess is that you have a number of reasons for choosing to do this on your own, rather than enlisting the services of a licensed real estate professional. My question to you is...what are you afraid of? Let's talk about this from two perspectives: first, your possible reasons for making this decision, and second, concerns you may as an unrepresented seller. YOUR DECISION: Fear of Paying a Commission - well, perhaps fear is the wrong word, … (4 comments)
fsbo: I Didn't get the Listing Today
- 02/25/07 01:33 PM
Well I didn't get it. Am I bummed - yeah a bit, but not too much. My attitude is NOT that I lost the listing...I never had it to lose. But I didn't get it. I was one of 3 agents who met with the sellers (FSBOs BTW) the other day to talk about my marketing and how I could help them. I have been sending them information once a week or so for months...so I was thrilled that they responded and asked me to come meet with them. The meeting was short - they made it clear upfront that I, like the other 2, … (35 comments)

fsbo: So You Are Thinking of Selling Your Home Yourself? (Part 5 of 5)
- 11/29/06 02:02 AM
This is the last in my series for sellers who are pondering becoming unrepresented sellers. That is not to say that EVERY issue has been raised, only the ones that seemed to be most important and having the most significant impact on the FSBO. But stay tuned - I have some thoughts for a follow-up. Price Setting - This is probably the most critical task, even for those working with a broker. There is huge competition these days, and pricing will determine if you sell, and when. Setting the listing price is not easy, even for professionals with lots of knowledge and … (7 comments)
fsbo: So You Are Thinking of Selling Your Home Yourself? (Part 3 of 5)
- 11/27/06 02:37 AM
This is the 3rd in my series of posts intended to provide sellers with a list of issues to seriously consider before making the decision to sell their homes without the assistance of a licensed real estate agent. Selling your own home is time consuming and has a number of risks and liabilities, especially in a competitive buyer's market. Do not make the decision to take this on yourself lightly; give careful thought to these issues before plunging in! Marketing - Marketing a home is lots of work, and unless you are a marketing expert, you may be taking on more than you can realistically handle. … (5 comments)
fsbo: So You Are Thinking of Selling Your Home Yourself? (Part 2 of 5)
- 11/26/06 03:32 AM
This is the second in a series of posts concerning issues that sellers should consider if they are thinking about selling their homes without representation. Time - Most sellers have no clue as to the amount of time it takes to market a house (ask any listing agent). And in a market that favors buyers, marketing times have increased dramatically to 3 months and often longer. How much time do you actually have each week (in addition to your job(s), dealing with your children, maintaining the house in showing condition AT ALL TIMES, grocery shopping and other errands) to spend returning phone calls, scheduling appointments … (14 comments)
fsbo: So You Are Thinking of Selling Your Home Yourself? (Part 1 of 5)

This is the first in a 5-part series on some issues to consider if you are thinking about marketing your home yourself. My intent is NOT to convince you that a REALTOR is the only way to go (even though I believe it is in the consumer's best interest, especially in a buyer's market) but to make you aware of things you should ponder before you make that final decision. Selling yourself CAN work but it does, on average, for less than 20% of those who try (and significantly less in many areas), based on recent surveys. Asa result, you will also … (5 comments)
