FSBO BLOG

FSBO.com just wanted to clear up any confusion that there may be about a recent press release from yesterday claiming YOU can list a property on Realtor.com without an agent.  One of the most popular questions www.FSBO.com receives is “Can I list my property on Realtor.com without using an agent and listing in the MLS?”.  The answer has always been, and still is “NO”!

There is absolutely no way to list your property on Realtor.com without first having it listed in the MLS.  There is absolutely no way to list your property in the MLS without using a licensed Realtor.  The only thing you can control is the actual amount that you pay to have your property listed on the MLS and Realtor.com. 

FSBO.com and similar companies have services that allow you to do this for a flat fee as opposed to a commission.  Any company claiming to be the only, or first to offer this type of service has been mistaken.

Need more exposure for your property?  Are you willing to pay a Buyer’s agent a commission?  FSBO.com offers Flat Fee MLS Listings which will list your property on your local MLS as well as Realtor.com.  And here is the best part - we are running a special for the month of August…

Save $50 off our regular $399.95 price!  Click here to list on the MLS for $349

Here is a brief description of the package…

One time set up fee to list your property on your local MLS and Realtor.com for six months with one photo. This gives your property exposure to thousands of local real estate agents and millions of potential buyers. If a broker brings you a buyer and you accept an offer you will need to pay them a commission. All commission is negotiable, but the average is around 2.5-3.5% and will need to be stated up front upon entering the MLS.  *After submitting your FSBO.com listing, you will be contacted by a licensed agent to complete the MLS listing process.  

This offer is only good on US properties until 8/31/08 and is not valid on prior purchases.

I heard about an interesting blog the other day, and just had to share it with everyone.  It is called “Bad MLS Photo of the Day“.  When you have a minute, I suggest you take a look at some of these photos to learn what “not” to do when getting ready to take and post pictures of your home on your FSBO Listings. 

The beauty of Digital Photos is that you can take as many as you want, and delete the bad ones.  Please try to take care in the photos you are posting.  There is no rush.  Go through and pick the best ones to post.  If you don’t have any, go back and retake them.  You will be happy that you did.
