Does FSBO Work?

For Sale By Owner Can Take a Long Time

For Sale By Owner seems like a no-brainer. Put a sign out on your lawn, run a few ads in the paper or on the internet and voila, you have sold your home and made more money by not having to pay a commission. The reality is quite different. With FSBO, you are doing all the work of the entire process.

Realtors Bring in More Traffic

MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. This is used by realtors to let each other know what real estate are available in any given area. Buyers prefer to use a realtor so that they can see the most options possible. When you sell it your self you are not listed on MLS. Therefore, it is difficult for prospective buyers to find your property as most depend on a realtor to help locate property, and agents depend on the MLS to find listings.

What the heck is TWITTER... you ask? Well, it's a short and to the point communication tool that I'll be using for quick updates about new listings and interesting info. It's kind of like a "mini blog" with short bits of info that you can either view online or have sent to your cell phone.

When I get a new listing or have something interesting to mention, I will post a short comment to Twitter through my cell phone.
