In today’s real estate market it is very challenging to not only, sell your property, but to make money on this sale. For this reason it is very common for sellers to attempt to sell their property For Sale By Owner.

The main reason people turn to real estate agents is because selling a property is a full time job, and agents devote all their time and energy into finding buyers so that both agent and seller are satisfied. Listing a property on to the MLS isn’t enough, therefore agents look for different avenues of marketing properties, they dedicate all their time in order to spread out a property as much as possible across the internet because these days, the more internet exposure a property gets, the more chances there are of a property selling.

Of course, though, there are big sites on the internet where a FSBO can submit their property to one time and there is a chance that a buyer will come across it, but in order to increase the chances of a property being sold ten fold, a FSBO would have to find a large number of different sites to market their property on. One site to consider is ListingVUE.com, because this site not only gets a good a mount of traffic but listings are also pushed out to multiple other high traffic websites.
Quality sites to list a property on usually cost money or have such a large amount of inventory on the site that it will be difficult to find one specific property, that is unless a buyer spends a long time on a site which isn’t to common these days. Therefore, in order to get the most for a property it would be wise to spread out a listing to as many sites as possible. There are many sites on the internet that will push their inventory to other sites, either for a small fee, or for no charge at all.
So the argument remains; real estate agent or sell for sale by owner, an endless debate that runs through a sellers mind when taking that step to sell a property.
