Become a FSBO lover

By
Real Estate Agent with Santa Fe Homes

We've all been told that FSBOs represent a unique listing opportunity.

They're sure in the market to sell and most of them end up listing with an agent.

But in my experience (20 years), most of the agents I've seen who work this market do it in exactly the wrong way. 

They spend their time trying to tell a FSBO what a great agent they are and what a great job they'll do for them if they'll just sign a listing agreement. Ho hum!

Why do they start out FSBO and end up listing? because somewhere along the way they finally figure out that selling a home is one hell of a lot harder than they thought it would be.

But the key here is that they must come to this realization in their own good time. You cannot talk them out of it before then.

I've developed a plan that will make you an ally of every FSBO and, thus, the logical choice when it comes time to list.

Work with them not against them. 

go to www.forsellbyowner.com and take a look at my plan. 

They get a step-by-step guide, a listing on a national website, innovative signage, consultation, timely tips, marketing help...and all of it guaranteed if and when they decide to list. You can even offer a CMA if you'd like to enhance the plan

Show this plan to them and you become an instant hero. I know because I developed it and use it every day.

I kick ass over everyone else working FSBOs in my area.

Take a look and then become the FSBO king in your town!

David,

You are spot on on this one. Keep it under your hat though or too many others will realize that with some properly applied elbow grease FSBO's can become listings.
