Things to do in Washington DC: FOR SALE BY OWNERS -FREE LIST IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Wow, that's awesome! Thanks so much for the great info!

Man!  FSBOs are LOW LIFE!  They hate us!  Once I listed 4 in one weekend after going to a bunch of Open Houses and proceeded to have the absolute worst month of my life!

But I think that putting this out on the Rain was a great thing for you to do!  I like your posts! 

it is not finding them that is hard.  I found the approach is different.  I have done them and love doing it now.  FSBO's Rock.

Thanks!  There are more and more FSBOs out there every day..

Lanre,

This is a good site for those looking for more FSBO's, thanks for the reminder. :)

Lanre,

Patricia - I try. But one day,I will be a Legend/Top Producer in Real Estate like you. Thanks for enjoying my posts.

Stacey - Anytime. A lot of the brilliant minds on this site are always sharing great ideas to help us real estate professionals grow our business.

Dave - You have to teach me on what you do in succeeding with getting FSBO's -PLEASE.

Matt - If there are more FREE FSBO SITES,can you please let me know.

Suzanne - Anytime Suzanne. I found out about this site by googing and it came up. I am glad that I found them.

 

Zillow has a make me move feature.You can look into it. Sellers list their home at a certain price that will make them move.

Lanre thanks for that that is an excellent site. I currently subscribe to a service that I am cancelling today!

Gita - Make me move feature? I have to check that out. Thanks Gita.

Donna - I am glad that you are canceling your service. Was it www.realestate.com?

For a great list of FSBO's in your neighborhood, just drive around the neighborhoods and subdivision. The signs are out there. I then look them up in the tax records...and there you have your list.

Actually, this site is pretty amazing and will allow you to email the sellers directly from their property listings!  Why get a list when you can email them directly!  I do this every few weeks and offer them free advice and information about selling their homes on their own!  The only thing is you must be careful to check the listing in your MLS system because a lot of them are ALREADY LISTED???

Lanre its fsboleader.com Some of the leads really are FSBO's some are listed in MLS.

Lanre ~  This is actually an excellent resource for home stagers as well.   Thanks for sharing this!

Lanre -  Nice job thinking outside the box in your marketing efforts and sharing with the community.  Even the mortgage guys and gals can use this valuable marketing tool.

Donna - Thanks for letting me know about the site.

Kathy- Anytime.

Jason - Anytime Jason. I am glad that you are just commenting on one of my posts.

Great Share, Thanks!

Lanre - Thanks so much for sharing the link. That sounds like a very powerful tool, and the price is right!

We'll check it out ... thanks for an informative post.

Lanre,

I thank you for sharing this great site!  I will find it much more useful than newspapers and driving around.

Hey Lanre, thank you for your recommendation. I am definitely going to use this site.

Thanls Lanre for the info. I am going to look it up and see what I can find.

Eliud - Anytime. Hope you have much success with it.

Vicki - It was my pleasure. Hope you can convert all the FSBO in Alabama to your clients.

Glenda - This is much better than the newspaper and driving around.

Nancy - You are welcome.

Tom - The price is definitely right. It dont get better than free.

Tino - You are welcome. Much success to you.

Thanks!  A few minutes ago I visited a website that charges $39.99/month for a listing; quite expensive!

I am going to download right now and hopefully achieve success.

Howdy Lanre

You post some very helpful info here.

Have a good one

Michael - You are absolutely right. I called this lady like two days ago and she now tells me her house is already listed with another real estate. I am saying to myself,why in the world is her house still on the site if she is already working with a real estate agent. And can you give me an idea of what you say in your e-mail to convince them to utitlize your services? I would really appreciate it. Great post.

Dawn - Can you give me that website please so I can stay away from them in case a person calls. Thanks. Please check out www.owners.com. Much success to you.

Dale - Anytime my man. I am just doing what all the brilliant and creative minds always do to me - Educate me. Great post.

Has anyone had any success on this site so far? I have not endulge yet.. I know bad Donna but I would like to know how you did and what you did.. if you do not mind sharing!

Lanre - not only many of the listings on the site are listed in MLS, they may be already sold. They seem to never come off the sites like these. I think they keep them to show that they have a lot of listings. And if you think of calling, remember the do-not-call, or it can cost you $10,000.

thanks for sharing this site, unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a good resource for our state :-)

This is great information!! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out!

This is what I've been looking for.... Thanks  a milion... I truly appericate you sharing..... At this time I don't have any listing so I'm praying that something will come out of this...... thanks again..

Donna - I think it is a great way to get listings. Someone told me to say that I should offer to put their property on my website for free. I am going to do that.

Bryce - Anytime. Hope it works for you.

DeAnna - Anytime.

Sara - Sorry to hear that.

Faina - You right about the do not call registry list. Thats why I send them e-mails.

Donna - It hasnt worked yet. But with my approach,hopefully it does.

Thank you for posting. I'll check it out tomorrow to see how many are active.

Thanks a bunch!!

Lanre

Thanks for the owners.com web sit! you can bet i will be there today. Best piece of info I recieved so far today.

Brandon - Please check it out. From now on, I am going to be e-mailing everybody in DC EVERY DAY. There are not going to have a choice but to make me their listing agent.

David - Anytime David. Much success to you.

Gary - You are welcome. Very glad to hear that.

Dan - You are very welcome Dan.

Good advice and thank you for posting it.  Bookmarked.

Thanks for sharing!

i do the same thing with forsalebyowner.com i just signed up and they send me a new list every week. I've been neglectful recentlly because I'm trying to find a new approach to go after them.

Thanks, I havent yet come accross this one. I can wait to see if any of them are really active...  Something to persue in this slow market of mine!

Rosemary Brooks - Anytime. Anything for a fellow 49er fan.

Stacee - You are welcome

Eric -Is forsalebyowner free. I am still trying to get a listing off of www.owners.com. I try to send them some thing different every week on how to help them sell their house or information of the real estate market in their area. In the subject,I put "Sell your house in 30 days or receive $1,000 at closing. Good luck with that.

Kim - You are right. Some of them might be already listed with a real estate agent. But I all of them information every week and I am going to continue to do that until I get a response back from them.

Hi thank you Lanre!  I like working fsbo even if they don't like us, like a post said above, some will eventually list with us.

 

Sorry I hit submit to many times!

Hi thank you Lanre!  I like working fsbo even if they don't like us, like a post said above, some will eventually list with us.

I have visited this site, and it is a good resource.  Sometimes the information is not current though, I find.  Thanks for posting this for others to share.

You have to give the sellers something of value to get them interrested.  Set up a FSBO site like this:

 www.mymifsbo.com

It also captures the the perspective buyers information.

Yep, I agree.  This site is a good resource. Thanks for reinforcing that and for sharing Lanre!

There are a TON of For Sale By Owner Websites - I am able to send For Sale by Owners emails and set them up on a email drip campaign.

I started doing this about 5 years ago and this is now my primary market. I got so busy that I had to hire a Listing Specialist because of all the Business that we were producing from our marketing to the For Sale by Owners.

http://www.forsalebyowner.com

http://www.infotube.net

http://www.Owners.com

We have a huge list of FREE For Sale by Owner websites!

Also - if you want to know how to DOUBLE your income - I would recommend that you visit http://www.Discovery-Training.com - I do not own it - but I went to it in Feb, March & April and it was well worth the money.

For questions - call me 972-679-9029

That is a great source of leads, if you're careful about do not call lists & are aware that some may be listed now. FSBO's are going that route for a reason: lack of money, hate agents, think they can do it themselves... you just have to figure out their reason for not going with an agent before you try to sell them on you.

 

Thank you Lanre,

I am in the process of putting together our business plan for 2008 and plan on prospecting FSBO better. Thank you for this tip!

Lanre I've been using them for a while now and the only thing I don't like is the hours and hours it takes to sift thru the leads. Other than that I agree that it's a great site. Best of luck.

Vincent - I agree with you too. I haven't gotten a lead from them yet. But I know that one of those FSBO's are going to get sick and tired of me and let me represent them as their listing agent. You just have to continue being a pest - in a good way.

D'Adrea -You are very welcome. I have to start working on my 2008 Business plan as well. I need help with mine so any help can be useful for me. Great post.

Erica - I agree. Sooner or later,they are going to give up and give in. Let us professionals do what we do best - Buy and sell houses. Great post.

Donald - You are very welcome sir. You are right. All of it is not current. That's why I e-mail everybody in my city and state. Improves my chances of getting more listings.

Lorinda - You are very welcome. Much success to you in converting these fsbo to listings.

Thank you so much for this information. All the best.

While I am sure there are many more out there...this is a big help, thanks!

Great - Thanks!

I agree there are a lot of FSBO sites out there I currently use 6 on a daily basis to refer the FSBO to a Realtor.

I no sooner read your post & I was on that site!  I just hope this site keeps up with houses that either sell or are listed with an agent.  I found 2 that were already listed & sold with agents in my area. 

thanks for the great post!

Dawn

Lanre - A great tip!!  Thanks for sharing!!

Alison -All the best to you too.

Jeffrey -There are many more out there. But so far,this is the only one that I know that does not require no fee.

Emily - Anyway.

Scott - Have you had any luck with these sites?

Dawn - You're welcome. I said the same thing too. I sometimes find houses that are either listed with a agent or sold already.

Joseph - Anytime.

Great info, Lanre.  The key is going to be the approach one uses with FSBO's.  You've got to do it face-to-face because you need to read them and their attitude.  Not all FSBO's hate real estate agents...many can't can't afford to pay a reals estate agent or think they can do a better job, cheaper.

 

I haven't heard of this one before but I checked it out and there is some very helpful info on there. Thanks for sharing.

Terry- You are absolutely right. The key is definitely going to be the approach one uses with FSBO's. For now on,I am going to start hand delivering all of my listing packages. Great post.

Christi -Anytime. I like this one because it is free.

Another thing you can do is contact a title company.  They will give you an updated list for free, too.

Matthew- Thanks for the great information. I never knew that. I am going to start bugging them starting next week.

Lanre

Thanks for the reminder. Often there are tons of websites to check out and then after awhile you loose track. I have used owners.com in the past and will thanks to you go back.

Thanks for the info im going to check them out right now  again thanks BTW does anyone here have a good starting line for fsbos?

Gary - Also,check out www.infotube.com Much success to you my friend.

Bart -You are very welcome my friend. check out www.infotube.com Another free fsbo website.

Hi Lanre. Thanks for sharing the great tip! Keep them coming.

Yeah...like someone mentioned above MOST OF THESE HAVE LONG SINCE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.  The first one I looked at in my neighborhood was a FSBO from last summer.  He just went off the market.  These are only good for giving you some addresses to drive by, but ckeck um out first!! 

Cool!  thanks for sharing, I was unaware of this site! Thanks a bunch...

Vincent -Anytime Vincent. Thanks for your comments.

David-Some of the information need to be updated. I caught that. Also,check out www.infotube.net. Thanks for your comments.

Evelyn-You are very welcome. Also,check out www.infotube.net Thanks for your comments.
