Canada's For Sale By Owner Brokerage!

I have been very impressed with the service provided by FSBO and definitely recommend them to sellers. The one problem I have found is that most realtors will not show their purchasers for sale by owner properties, due to not being guaranteed full commissions. That shows most realtors are putting their own interest ahead of their clients. Hopefully that attitude will change as it has been a really positive experience dealing with FSBO, and it has been most advantageous to both buyer and seller, in every way.

Pleasure using your services. EVERYONE should do it!

Many people told me "You can't sell on your own ya know (with FSBO) because realtors will not show your house... well as I already knew; their advice was TOTAL GARBAGE!! I had 13 showings the first go-round. (and that was in Jan. Feb. '23) Due to outside complications I had to put the listing on hold. 4 months later I re-listed. It was up for only 3 days. I had FOUR showings and THREE OFFERS!! I would never EVER pay a realtor to sell my home again. ** But to clarify; realtors do HELP CONSIDERABLY when making a purchase. I listed with FSBO and MLS (as an add-on with the FSBO listing) In addition; seller (me) sets the commission you want to offer incoming realtors. THIS is why they will still bring buyer to you. I set mine at 3% of the first 100K and 1% of the balance. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. No realtor I know of will ever turn down $8,700.!!! (normally a full commission is 7% and 3% - so half is 3.5% and 1%). Even someone with 'money to burn' would not give away money they don't have to! Be smart; save your hard-earned money!! Newer smart phones have fantastic cameras. I did all my own photos. One thing a seller does have to pay for is the new mandatory RMS in Alberta (professional measurements of listing) I paid $105 (incl tax). All together on $689K house; I saved $8,700. yes folks... that's "EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!!" (which was ONLY HALF of the full commission. The real estate industry is VERY out of touch with reality... Should you use a service like this? *** ABSOLUTELY - VERY WELL WORTH IT *** the extra work I did on my end of it. (*total costs to me were just under $1000. do everything) They were pretty easy to deal with as well - in getting the info uploaded etc. - which helped a lot. Especially in today's market where homes are 'virtually flying off the shelves!' Why on earth would you pay someone over $8K (in my case) for a house to sell in as little as a day?! That's just obscene - by my estimation. (mine sold in 3 days)
