How are we doing?

FSBO's are selling a lot of their own houses these days. The ones who find a reasonable price are the ones selling, the higher priced FSBO properties are sitting on the market for six months to a year just like their broker listed sisters.

Get the price right and sell. Get it wrong and you won't.

A lot of brokers give away their comparative market analyses and, as a wise Greek once said..."you get what you pay for".

Other realtors such as http://www.liveatthebeach.net charge a whopping $50 for theirs but they but a lot more energy and analysis into the program. They do a lot more than just open the MLS online and select a few comparables and email them to the sellers. Live At The Beach does research outside of the MLS for a better rounded approach. Plus, they analyze the data for you. They take your homes details and compares them to the MLS listings adding and subtracting value for assets and non-assets.

FSBO's need to advertise their properties well in order to attract buyers. You want to save both sides of the commission....right? Then advertise! You need a website just for your property. There are a lot of internet FSBO companies that have their own websites who offer to list your property on their site.

Usually, there isn't enough web space to properly describe your listing. Get your own website at www.xcelmarketing.net They will use your photos that you email and edit them to fit an online presence. They will write the description of the house, put all the contact information that you want and publish it for $99 until it sells!

If you run classified ads, put the URL in the advertisement and expand the value of the ad without increasing the cost. Put the URL on the yard sign so visitors can copy the address and see more information at home or in their offices.

Websites are fantastic and FSBO's need one...for sure!

Three Minute Video Ads are inexpensive and you truely get more than expected. Three minute video ads overcome all the drawbacks of print ads. You get a full video tour of your property with snappy music, sharp vid clips, interesting captions and voiceover dubbing.

The number of FSBO's compared to the total properties for sale has increased according to a variety of knowledgeable opinions found on the internet.

The usual percentage of FSBO's to realtor listings is less than 15%. Today, it appears the numbers of FSBO's are reaching 50% to 55% of the total residential properties currently on the market. That depends on the location, of course.

FSBO's will have their properties on the market for a Loooong time if they don't have them priced right. Get a free CMA from a real estate agent (who will want your listing). Go to open houses in your area. Check out the classified ads in your area and look at some of the houses listed there. Get the price right to begin with...
