For Sale By Owner

working with FSBO properties

Many property sellers, for one reason or another, choose not to list their property with a Real Estate listing agent. In these cases, the use of an excellent buyer’s agent can be particularly important in order to protect the interests of the buyer, negotiate the best price, guide the inspection process to avoid unpleasant and expensive surprises, to navigate and facilitate the transaction, and to ensure the transaction follows the steps required by law.

We can help you buy FSBO properties, and you can still get the same fiduciary loyalty and undiluted support from your agent, and many times it’s still paid for by the seller.

Knowledgeable FSBO Sellers are aware of the benefit when a Buyer uses a Buyer’s Agent, because they know that the Buyer’s agent will help the transaction go smoothly and will request the proper disclosures and documents required by law, protecting both Buyer and Seller. Because of this, sellers will offer a commission to the buyer’s agent.

If a FSBO seller wants to avoid Agents all together, the intelligent Buyer will consider the potential reasons for this and think very carefully before proceeding with that Seller.

We often talk to FSBO sellers as soon as their property comes on the market. Most are very appreciative to have a professional expressing interest, and we invite FSBO sellers to call us to set up a preview of their property so that when we do find a buyer that might be interested, we’ll have a head-start in the process.

It’s important to note that we do not form agency relationships with sellers, regardless of whether or not they pay us a commission for bringing the buyer. We only represent buyers. However, in our dealings with all third-parties, we always exercise skill and care, we act in good faith, and engage in fair dealing.
