FSBO Central Station is an education and marketing hub for homeowners who want to exercise their right to sell their own home, avoiding exorbitant real estate commissions!
What you won't find here is a lot of "fluff" and hype like specialized advertising and services for sale that you don't need, or rather that will only cost you money and not further your TRUE GOAL: Selling your house AND maximizing your net proceeds from the sale!
Who hasn't at least thought about selling themselves? With the going full-service real estate commision rate of 6-7% -- well, that's just too big of a chunk out of your sales proceeds!
The only people that think selling yourself is a BAD idea (for a whole host of reasons ... that it won't work, it's too hard, it's too complicated, you could get sued, etc., etc.) are REAL ESTATE AGENTS/BROKERS. But not for the reasons they state, but because if too many people do this, it seriously threatens their turf!
This 50-page, 13-step guide is the real deal to help you mobilize plans to successfully sell your house yourself! This guide is a first-hand account of how we sold ourselves in a slow market -- and paid zero real estate commissions!
Within each step you'll find sidebar tips, recommendations, cautions and more to help make the process go smoothly.
