FSBO is the way to go these realtors just BS everyone saying its never gonna sell.

Well I got alot of calls.

Being new on the MLS is an important, fleeting, advantageous state and if I need to use the MLS I want to make sure both the listing and the property are in the best condition I can get them in given my restrictions. Going FSBO without the MLS lets me gauge potential buyers’ reactions and make fixes or updates to items I see bother visitors before there’s a debut on the MLS. Also, I suspect that there are some RE agents who will talk down a property listed on the MLS as essentially a FSBO. If I only go on the MLS if I decide to use an agent, those other agents are less likely to be biased against the listing.

There’s very little risk in not putting my property on the MLS when I don’t have an agent. I’m going to list the house for a price that I believe to be fair market value and I’ll only accept an offer that I find satisfactory. The only risk is time and it’s a risk that’s completely predictable – i.e., I know exactly how many days have passed and when the next one will pass – and totally under my control. If I don’t get any acceptable offers within whatever length of time I find comfortable, then I’ll decide whether to take on an agent or list through a cheap MLS service. So, really, what’s the terrible harm in going FSBO without the MLS unless I’m significantly undervaluing the property? These are no longer the days of MLS listings in hot Seattle neighborhoods commonly getting multiple offers over asking or escalation clauses pushing the price past conventional notions of sanity.

Also, by not listing on the MLS the buyers coming in are more likely to buy without an agent. In my case, that means there’s about $18,000(!!!!) we can play with to get the deal to go through. The small car you’re talking about getting by using a cheap MLS listing service goes right back to the dealership with the check to the buyer’s agent.

One more reason, specific to my property, is that I have a highly desirable location in a very desirable neighborhood and even as a FSBO I should see plenty of foot traffic. I haven’t even listed my house and have already given a couple of tours to people who saw my “Make Me Move” price on Zillow. I’m not too concerned about being FSBO not delivering me enough buyers to ensure a proper price, I’m more concerned with whether there are particular turn-offs among the old cosmetics that will hinder the sale. If so, I can fix them and then decide to list on the MLS in as good a shape as possible.

Anyone know who Iggy is? Pretty sure it’s not the same Iggy that Galen used in the photo.

The MLS wall is coming down. Only agents who can market can expect to continue charging 3%
