If you decide to sell your home, and if you choose to put an FSBO sign on your property, as opposed the sign donated by a realtor, then you need to prepare for the placement of that sign. You need to get yourself ready to become a successful seller. You must transform your desire for a buyer into a winning FSBO strategy. Six simple steps can guarantee completion of that transformation.
The first step is easy—set a specific goal. If you have decided to sell your home, then you already have that goal firmly fixed in your mind. Once you have found a buyer for your home, then you will know that you have fulfilled your goal.
The next step requires a bit more thought. Next you need to establish a specific time period in which you plan to achieve your goal. If you are being forced to sell your home, then you have already learned about your timetable. If you are not under pressure to sell your home in a hurry, you still owe it to your neighbors to limit the amount of time that a “for sale” sign stands on your property.

Today’s home sellers and buyers are more and more willing to consider doing it themselves – and they have more options available than ever before to help them. Fizber.com, a major real estate property-listing website, announced the launch of a FSBO Help Center which provides unrepresented home sellers and buyers with the guidance, publicity, and resources they need to successfully complete their real estate transaction.Over the years, internet marketing has changed dramatically. Nowadays just posting a property on any web site isn’t as effective as it was 3 years ago. “We’ve evolved with changing market conditions,” said Julia Foster, Fizber.com PR Manager. “We offer sellers who are representing themselves a menu of services and resources in our FSBO Help Center“.
The FSBO Help Center features helpful articles, marketing tips, Ad writing tips, FSBO handbook full of valuable information, effective techniques, targeted tips, worksheets, checklists, and a lot more. Home sellers are able to find sound advice on various aspects of selling their home, from yard clean-up to managing their open house. Buyers browsing the Help Center will find helpful and informative articles to learn how to buy the For Sale By Owner home they’re looking for.
Julia Foster of Fizber.com explains,
“For the most part, homes change hands under a sales model that goes like this: A seller engages a listing agent to market the home, negotiate with buyers and manage the closing process. For that, the seller pays 3 percent of the sales price. Meanwhile, other agents bring their clients to see the home and the seller pays another 3 percent to the agent whose client ultimately makes the purchase. Do the math and it’s easy to see why sellers are tempted to eliminate – or at least reduce – the role played by real estate agents in that equation. The total commission on a $300,000 home amounts to $18,000.”
