Designed to be buyer friendly we make it easy and beneficial to find a “For Sale By Owner” home. With no registration or fees to SEARCH the FSBO (pronounced FIZBO) listings, you’ll quickly find a property to meet your need. The popularity of selling ‘by owner’ in Central Oregon is growing. With the proper information buyers and sellers are successfully coming together without the use of a Realtor ®, thereby saving thousands of dollars. With the power and ever-growing accessibility of the Internet FSBObend.com empowers you, the residential customer, to an unprecedented level of easy access to the information that will help lead you to your new property. All from the comfort of your own home. 1) It’s Win-Win Let’s say we have two home sellers. Rob and Dan. Both sold homes with a market value of $200,000. Rob sold his home “by owner”. Dan sold his home with a real estate agent. Since Dan used the services of an agent he will pay a commission of $12,000 (6%). The sales price minus commission will leave him with $188,000 before other closing costs. Rob lowered his price to $195,000 making it more appealing to buyers because of its now better value. Rob sold his home for this Full-list-price of $195,000 without any commissions this left him with $195,000 before other closing costs. Rob made his home more attractive with a lower price and saved $7,000 on commissions and still passed $5,000 in equity to you the buyer by selling his $200,000 home for $195,000. Buyers will often find that a FSBO home will already be much more competitively priced due to the lack of agent commissions to allow for a quicker sale. 2) Direct from the Horse’s Mouth - Saving You Time Cutting out middle agents and dealing directly with the owner will allow you to get all of your questions answered directly. Who else knows the home better than the seller? Imagine trying to find out what the heating bill was in February through your agent, then the sellers agent, and back through to you. Avoid a communication meltdown by going straight to the source for questions on your utility costs, schools, shopping, etc. 3) But, Without an Agent? That’s right without an agent! It really is more important to hire your home inspector and attorney than a real estate agent. When you locate a home you like enough to buy working without the agent middleman can actually save you thousands of dollars. 4) It’s Easy Together, one by one, we can beat the myth that purchasing real estate without an agent is difficult or even required. Utilizing FSBObend.com increases the amount of information and tools at your fingertips, thereby eliminating the need for an agent. With our company you have a local resource that is revolutionizing the way buyers and sellers interact in Central Oregon. |
