Do You Need to be Cyber Savvy to List Your Property Online?

The CBS Saturday Early Show recently featured FSBO.com as part of the five key things to consider before you start showing your home - Click here to check out their article and video!  The segment was quick but informative.  Touching on Home Staging, Virtual Tours and Photos, FSBO Marketing, Online Appraisals, and Online Real Estate Auctions.

I thought this was a great segment.  My only comment would be you DO NOT need to be as  “cyber-savvy” as they mention to have a successful listing on http://www.fsbo.com/, or on any other site in our industry.  Our user’s ages and computer skills vary significantly.  Anyone can list on FSBO.com easily, and in a very short time.  We do encourage you to take your time, and build an effective ad though. 

FSBO.com users have 24-hour access to editing their listings.  We are available Monday through Friday to help with any difficulty you may have.  We do not charge for adding or scanning photos.

With that, I say you do not need to be as “cyber-savvy” as most experts will tell you, but more “Resource-savvy”.  You need to utilize the resources that are available to you, such as the FSBO.com Customer Support, Photo Department and the online tools we have provided to make things easy for you.  Most online companies are willing to help you to create an effective advertisement that satisfies both your needs, and the needs of the buyer.

So, do you think you need to be cyber savvy to list your property online?

    I was interested to read your article on scams.

    I myself have been approached several times by different scam artists. As you say they generally follow a pattern. Thankfully I’m savvy enough to spot these. Even when I was first initiated into the FSBO world I was very careful not to get involved with these damned people.

    I am still waiting to sell my property, or even to get a genuine interested party but I will continue to advertise everywhere I can.
