Sell Home For Sale By Owner With Our
Home Selling FSBO Advertising Co-Op
Our FSBO Advertising Co-Op provides home owners an effective and affordable way
to sell a home and either totally avoid or minimize realtor commissions. Use either
our For Sale By Owner Services or our Realtors Flat Fee MLS services to more
successfully and affordably sell a home and minimize the total home selling cost.
Some owners may desire to market their property themselves in order to totally avoid
commissions, others may wish to pay some realtor commission but only to the buyers agent
who brings the buyer to the closing and thereby essentially reduce their realtor
commission expense by approximately HALF. Sellers and Buyers must individually
determine whether they need the services of a realtor and whether they find the services
of realtors to be an efficient value to them or not. This is an individual decision
each buyer and seller will make based on their specific needs and preferences. We
offer two options so sellers can either avoid realtor commissions altogether or
minimize the realtor commission expense. The good news is you can use BOTH of those
methods at the same time, that way you can MAXIMIZE the exposure of your home to ALL
buyers in the market and thereby Maximize your prospects of finding the buyer willing to
pay the highest price in the shortest amount of time at the SAME TIME that you have the
opportunity to either TOTALLY AVOID Realtor commissions or in the WORST CASE reduce them
to about HALF the amount the big real estate companies want to charge you.
Our sellers co-op is conceptually similar to the "Realtors marketing
plan", the concept is to keep the property "In Front" of All the potential
buyers All the time and sooner or later that "perfect" buyer for each specific
property will find it and buy it. The Realtors do this through the realtors
advertising Co-Op known as the MLS. FSBOAdvertising is essentially a Homes For Sale
By Owner advertising Co-Op with the single objective of keeping advertised properties
in front of All the buyers All the time, conceptually like the Realtors plan except
without the 6% price tag. Using our Co-Op, owners can sell a home for as little as
$49.50 TOTAL SELLING cost, and MANY OWNERS HAVE DONE JUST THAT. Our widespread presence on the
Internet PLUS our own Local Media advertising combined with the Local Media Advertising of
all participants in this Co-Op will certainly INCREASE the relative effectiveness of all
owners marketing efforts and should result in the degree of advertising consistency and
breadth needed so when that perfect buyer for your specific property is searching for a
home, there is a good chance that buyer will find your Advertisement at one of the
web sites in our Ad Distribution Network and CALL YOU to buy it. Consistency and
breadth in advertising is critical to selling real estate. On a cost for value basis
every owner in America selling a home should take advantage of this Co-Op to help keep
their property "In Front" of buyers MORE consistently and thereby improve the
effectiveness of their marketing efforts. You can also save a lot of wasted time
talking to those potential buyers who are really not even interested in your specific
property, since each prospective buyer who contacts you from our advertising will have
already seen photos of your property and learned the complete details about your home
which you provided in Your Full Page Internet Ad. Aside from the fact that
advertising in the newspapers serving most large cities has become EXTREMELY OVERPRICED
(since their advertising rates are based on total newspaper circulation and NOT how many
people actually read the real estate classifieds - we all know that MOST people buy the
newspaper to either read the news or to clip coupons from it or to find a movie to go see,
NOT to read the real estate classifieds), buyers simply can not get enough information
from a 4 or 10 line classified ad to know if they are really interested or not, so you can
spend endless hours of your valuable time answering the same questions over and over from
potential buyers who have no interest in your home to start with, they just do not know
that yet. This Plan is Better for the Buyers and Better for the Sellers.
Sellers can use our advertising services as an Effective Marketing Tool to facilitate
accomplishing these and other objectives. Our FSBO Advertising service is designed
to make Home Selling by owner more effective and affordable than ever before.
Our Hybrid FSBO - MLS marketing option
(which we have been offering since 1999) allows owners to simultaneously pursue TWO
marketing methods. You can either find the buyer yourself and pay NO Realtor
Commission at all or you can sell through a Realtor where you pay only a $199 to $499 FLAT
FEE instead of a listing commission to get listed then you just offer a 2% to 3%
commission to the Buyers Agents IF they find you a Buyer. In the past owners had to
choose between using the Realtors MLS Listing and the For Sale By Owner home selling
methods, you could not pursue both at the same time. Well, that was the PAST.
Today you really can have your cake and eat it too, so to speak.
Maximize The Value of ALL Your Home Selling Efforts
With your listing at FSBOAdvertising you can also INCREASE Value of your other
Local Media Advertising. You can use Your Full Page Internet Ad as an Effective
Marketing Tool to enable all the potential buyers to effortlessly Tour Your Home at Their
Convenience. In order to achieve optimum results and to maximize the value of your
marketing efforts we highly recommend that our advertisers place a Real Estate Sign in your yard
and do some Local Media Advertising. If you are serious about getting optimum
results (finding a buyer at the right price, right away, without paying a realtor 6%) then
sellers should use our service as an "additional marketing tool" that will
enhance and fill the gaps in the breadth and consistency of your other advertising efforts
and reduce the hassle factor and general inadequacies normally associated with those other
methods of advertising. You also need to have the patience to let your marketing
plan work, just like the realtors tell you to be patient with their MLS marketing method.
The Realtors do not talk much about the FACT that around 20% of ALL MLS Listings
are terminated or withdrawn (the property is NOT SOLD), so the Realtors MLS method of
marketing is NOT always as FAST or effective as the Realtors statistics may seem to
indicate SINCE the Realtors normally ONLY INCLUDE days on the market for homes MARKED SOLD
for example in their statistics of time to sell and this is misleading since MANY homes
NEVER SELL and they do NOT include the days on the market for those terminated and
withdrawn listings in those calculations. Also, please bear in mind that the
individual advertising efforts of each member of this For Sale By Owner Co-Op will assist
not only that member but also all other sellers in keeping Your properties in front of all
the buyers all the time. So every seller who integrates their Internet Ad into their
other marketing efforts (like your newspaper ad and yard sign) not only helps
themselves but they also help ALL the other participants. With Your Full Page Ad at
FSBOAdvertising, in your own Local Media Advertising you will have two additional
alternatives. You can refer to your specific "listing #" and our Special
web site URL (SeeHomePhoto.com) so that potential buyers who have internet service can see
photos and the full detail of your property before or instead of calling to ask you
questions (which MANY buyers prefer to do anyway if they have that option, that is why
THOUSANDS of them come to our websites to start with). You can also just tell people
who call you from your newspaper ads to go look at your photos and details online when
they call you instead of answering their endless questions then call you back if they want
to make an appointment to see the home AFTER they learn all about your property from
viewing your FULL PAGE Internet Ad. That method will also save paying the newspaper
for an extra line of newsprint. Many sellers will find that this will IMPROVE the
overall results of their advertising efforts and it will also take a lot of the
"hassle" factor out of your home selling efforts. You will only need to
spend your valuable time talking to and showing your home to potential buyers who are
REALLY INTERESTED (they have seen your photos and complete details about your property
already, not just 3 lines of newsprint or a phone number on a yard sign in front of a
house which may not have enough bedrooms or the kind of features which they are interested
in). You can include the following "additional line" in any of your local
advertisements: "SeeHomePhoto.com Ad54521" (use your actual ad
number). This will normally fit on one line of ad space in the local paper.
Our special National Services Web Site URL itself tells buyers you have photos for
them to see, so it does not use up a line in the ad JUST to give directions.

our Sellers Marketing page.
