Canada's For Sale By Owner Brokerage!

We have just sold our Halifax condominium apartment through FSBO, for essentially full asking price in 9 days, to the first person who called. That person was a real estate agent with a client. The agent was willing to accept the $5,000 we were offering in our MLS listing. We saved an estimated $20,000 in real estate fees in exchange for a few hours of work creating the listing. This is the second property we have privately sold through FSBO. Both times the folks at FSBO were very helpful and patient answering the questions we had and assisting with the paperwork. Our special thanks to Sharan, Jen and Rob. We found the FSBO website to be very user friendly. We believe that the main reason for our almost instant sale was price. We decided how much we would accept for our apartment and then removed the real estate fees we would normally pay. This number we compared with 2 other units in our building which were being marketed through local real estate agents. We discovered that despite our unit being larger and more desirable than the competition, our price was still below both. This of course made our apartment stand out to potential buyers. We also decided to offer a fixed $5,000 to an agent who introduced a buyer. We did not really think that any agent would agree to that, but we had 3 enquiries in the first 24 hours, all from agents with clients. The first enquiry came in literally 2 minutes after the listing went "live", and this turned out to be our buyer. Thank you FSBO.

I listed my place on Marketplace and several other sites before listing it on MLS, and while I had some traffic, and lots of shares and views, I had only a handful of messages and no real interest. After only two hours on MLS I had an offer, and saved myself about $7000. I would use FSBO anytime in the future!

I love FSBO! This service puts you in the driver's seat and allows you to sell your own property on your own terms without the need for the middle man. Sure, you can use a buyer's agent if you want but at least you save some dollars by representing yourself for your own property! Love it!
