WHY THE REGISTERATION ?
There are two ways to use the
FSBO web site as a buyer. The first way is to simply go to
the search page and select the criteria for the type of
property you are looking for. Once the server has returned
your matches, you can view the pictures and text for each
listing and then contact the sellers of the properties you
are interested in learning more about.
The second way to use the FSBO
web site is to create a free "Buyer Profile" and use all of
the tools available to help you locate the perfect home.
With a Buyer Profile, you can save your searches, make and
save notes on individual properties, access our Professional
Services area, use our listings clipboard, and even have our
server watch for properties that you are interested in.
Registered buyers can maximize the effectiveness of this
site to help them find the home they are looking for, and
it's FREE.
SELLING PRICE
"We calculated profit as
"average selling price-average purchase price". On the
resale side, both FSBO and Real Estate Sellers made a lot of
money $76,800 FSBO vs $72,300 Real Estate Agents in gross
profit. The most important finding here is that FSBO Sellers
made 6% more gross profit on their homes than sellers who
used a Real Estate Agent."
"This shows that people who
sell their home on their own do, in fact, make more money
than people who use a Real Estate Agent. This is gross
profit and does not include Real Estate Agent fees. So, if
you factor in the average of 6% Real Estate Agent fess that
would reduce the profit for those who sold with a Real
Estate Agent to 42% or $59,400. This data shows that FSBO's
actually made 29% more in total on the sale of their home
than those who use Real Estate Agents."
Gross Profit: FSBO 59%
...Agent 42%
"Selling your home on your own
and making more money has been a common myth for years. This
data proves that FSBO's actually make 29% more in total on
the sale of their home than those who use Real Estate
Agents."
SELLING FASTER
"Conventional wisdom suggests
that Real Estate Agents who have access to Buyers, Sellers,
and a host of other services should be able to sell a home
faster than someone who sells on their own. Our research
shows that this is no longer true. In fact, FSBO's actually
sold their home 3 weeks sooner than those who used Real
Estate Agents. The average length of time sellers had their
home on the market with Real Estate Agents is 11.5 weeks
compared to the 8.1 weeks for FSBO's. "
