Is this FSBO Helping or hurting their own sale?

Do you ever read the comments that home owners can  add under their listing in Zillow?  As a seller you may believe in truth in adverising, however this approach may not be the best way to go about selling your house. The seller may not like their house and that is the reason they are selling it. See the ad below I came across.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOME

Not a thing
 
 

 

IN SUMMARY, selling a home is a business. Yes, it is emotional for the seller. That is why the seller should hire the best agent such as me, to list and sell their home. Therefore removing emotion from the sale and getting the seller the highest price in the quickest amount of time. 

 

IN THE END: Selling homes is my job. Something I love doing. Often we can sell the home at a price which mor ethan covers the fees in selling real estate getting the seller more money at closing. We support our clients. Please support your local agent like me. 

 

I leave you with my infamous thoughts, My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.

Good morning Scott. Must say most FSBO's are stepping on their own toes. Only a few have the ability to navigate the transaction waters. Enjoy your day!

Hahaha, that is a funny ad. But probably not too helpful in getting their home sold. Haha.

Hello Scott - hmm.  Motivated?  Desperate?  Some of each?

Hello Scott, One has to wonder why a seller would market their FSBO in such a manner.  Maybe a poor use of humor?  Maybe the truth in advertising? It is funny yet most likely will not help the sale.

One of the biggest mistakes that I think FSBOs make, is not understanding that the commission the seller is hoping to save, the buyer sees as an opportunity to save too.  In that process, dollars often are deducted from the proceeds of any sale, plus they are left without professional guidance, marketing and representation.

This is so funny - but it gets people talking  and maybe someone is going to see the house because that ad is so contrarian - Sort of like the ads I see here - I buy ugly houses

Hi Scott Godzyk,

That ad reminds me of the old saying "one man's trash is another's treasure."  Maybe, it's one of those things...
