THEY ALL CLAIMED TO HAVE A BUYER IN THEIR POCKET. BIGGEST LAUGH I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HIRED A REALTOR AND YOU GUESSED IT; ZIPPO, NOTHING. THE CONTRACT IS OVER THE END OF DECEMBER, NEVER EVEN CONTACTS ME FOR WEEKS ON END TO SAY WELL THE MARKET IS DOWN ETC., ETC., CAN'T WAIT TILL ITS OVER.

Because the Seller has control over their own listing, they are able to delete the listing after it sells with out ever reporting it to FSBO.com. Unlike with a Realtor where proper reporting is part of the process, we are unable to track the national, or city specific data that you are requesting. I always tell my customers that some houses will sell in one day, and while some never sell at all. Just a few days ago I received an email testimonial from a seller stating that they received a phone call on the first day they were listed on FSBO.com, and ended up with a contract on the house shortly there after. However, at the same time, I received another email from a different customer stating that they had not had one phone call through their listing online. We are working on a survey system to gain feedback from our sellers upon deletion of their listing online. This will hopefully give us a better understanding of success rates in your areas.

And that's expected to rise again next year.” This is good news for those attempting to sell FSBO, now and into the future. Angela & Michelle,

Call bank check written on and it was a real account number, just did not belong to that person or money market check. Reported to local police where check received. Filed away. Check and amount requested for agent were in the average amount you mentioned. I did receive the email scam and they sent the check when I advised not to until a contract was in place.

Inquiring minds want to know before they sign up. I am realistic, I do understand it's a "terrible" market and unpredictable. Just looking for a ballpark time. Thanks, Michelle Hey Mike,
