If you are trying to sell or buy a home then I am sure that you have read the term FSBO. FSBO means for sale by owner. The term FSBO is used if a person wants to sell his house without the help of real estate agents, mortgage companies and home inspectors. People who want to sell their home independently most often give advertisement in newspapers and websites. In today’s world it is easier to sell a house with the help of internet access. People can find suitable homes for them by going through the websites which give free access to FSBO advertisements. Many real estate companies also offer listings of home for sale by an owner.

Don’t sell your home FSBO – you will be robbed, raped or god forbid – worse. The NAR has been promoting this fear mongering for years. Here is a direct quote from a “Realtor” Ezine article (please note - the author refers to himself as a “Seasoned Real Estate Broker”) titled “NAR(r) Broker Will Swear It - Real Pro’ Agents Share It - FSBO “Truth” - and I quote - “Sometimes, the “Truth” hurts. Yet, being ripped off, raped, or even worse – hurts a whole lot more. Ask any police officer if home sellers should open their doors wide to strangers.” Are you serious? So is that why we pay 6% sales commission to sell a home – Security/Background checks? Now it all makes sense – I finally understand the value – give me a break! There may have been a time when real estate agents actually “screened” clients before bringing them to your house – that said, I firmly believe it was done to determine what they could afford and weather or not they were wasting the realtor’s precious time. I guarantee I can set up an appointment – through a Realtor to view a house within the next hour – they will take my first name – PERIOD!

Selling your home is not easy but with hard work and the right marketing it can be done in a short period of time. Before you list your home for sale there are a few things you must do.

Before listing your home you must make sure you can qualify for another home. If you plan on buying another home after you sell yours then please make sure you can still qualify for a home. Many people make the assumption that since they own a home they should be able to qualify for another home in the same price range. The fact is that if your finances have changed since you bought your last home you might not be able to qualify for another home like it. Call your mortgage broker to make sure you can qualify for another home and make sure you know how much home you can safely buy.

Putting your home up for sale means that you need to get the word out. When you decide to sell it yourself - as a For Sale By Owner - then all of the advertising is up to you. One of the most effective ways to do this is to place it online, alongside of other advertisements for houses and property for sale. The traffic to that Web site will help your house to be seen by more potential buyers.
