Automatic Listing of Your Property on the Hottest Real Estate Websites
Over 70% of home buyers use the Internet to search for homes so it's critical that it be a key component of your marketing strategy. Success or failure is determined by the amount of traffic (home buyers) that is generated for your listing.
The FSBO Assistance Program includes a complimentary service which automatically submits your property details to a new breed of real estate websites, such as Craigslist and Google. These sites have been rapidly gaining ground on MLS and its associated website, Realtor.com, and will soon surpass them in the amount of traffic they generate (some Internet experts say they already have).
A State-of-the-Art Website Featuring a Virtual Tour of Your Home
The FSBO Assistance Program includes a free website utilizing state-of-the-art technology will be provided so that potential home buyers can take a "virtual tour" of you home and get detailed information. With nearly 90% of home buyers rating virtual tours important in their home search, it is often the difference between those homes which sell and those that don't!
The virtual tour included is a professional, top-notch design which serves as a mini-commercial and includes property details, a Google map of its location, school district information and tasteful background music. It also allows for unlimited photographs with captions to point out special features of your home.
By publicizing the virtual tour in all of your advertising, you greatly increase the chances of your home selling. And as an added bonus, if you home is listed on MLS, the virtual tour can be linked to it!

"Just Listed" Postcards
Often times your neighbors know of people looking to move into your neighborhood and "Just Listed" postcards are a great way to get the word out that your home is for sale. This postcard had a large photograph of your home on the front and includes the website address for your virtual tour. It can also announce the date and time of your first open house. The back contains details about your property, the offer price and the contact information for showings.
And if you're willing to to pay a commission to buyer's agents, these postcards are a great way to grab real estate agents' attention. Postcards and labels for up to 100 of your neighbors and/or all of the real estate agents in your town are included.
All Interested Home Buyers Qualified for Free
All potential home buyer's finances will be review to determine if they are qualified to obtain a loan. Many people need some improvement and counseling on their finances in order to make them eligible for a mortgage. Others simply have "champagne taste with a beer budget" and are just wasting everyone's time. Screening buyers interested in your home will prevent you from entering into a Purchase & Sale agreement with someone who is unable to acquire a loan. This will help you from wasting time and money. Remember that a standard contract takes your home off the market until the mortgage contingency date (usually 30-60 days) and requires you to return the good faith deposit if the buyer can not secure a loan!

Option to Have Your Home Listed on MLS and Realtor.com for a Flat Fee of $299
While the FSBO Assistance Program will do a great job on its own marketing your home for sale, so many FSBO sellers have asked for help in getting their property listed on MLS that I have arranged for such a service. It is not a requirement to participate in the program and you may already even have your home listed on the MLS already, but I offer it as a courtesy.
