5 For Sale By Owner Secrets
1. Keep up the curb appeal – This is your primary selling point. It is usually the first impression.
Pictures may be worth 1000 words, but the initial buyer experience seeing the home from the street can strongly influence their decision to act further.
2. Home Interior – Remove table and countertop clutter. Minimal is better for the purpose of showing off
all spaces including kitchen and bathroom countertops. Remove any “interesting” or conversation piece type items
that will not be sold with the home so the buyer’s attention stays focused on the space itself.
Arrange your furniture to allow easy movement within and into adjoining rooms.
3. Pricing/Appraisal/CMA – The Real Estate market moves in general cycles. Location will be a factor in any
valuation model. To be absolutely sure your home is priced right for the current market, FSBO sellers should
obtain an appraisal or CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) preferably before they advertise a list price.
4. Home Inspection – Have your home inspected. Regardless if you are selling your home as-is, a seller should
know the deficiencies which a buyer’s home inspector will report. Knowing exactly what is being sold is essential
to successful negotiations.
5. IggysHouse.com MLS Solution – With no up front fees or credit card needed to get started with an MLS listing,
the most efficient way to market and sell your property is available for free. Through MLS, Realtors® and the public are
aware that your home is for sale. Realtors® use MLS to locate potential properties for buyers to help them purchase.

listing page. With around 80% of buyers beginning their home search on the Internet and Realtor.com® being the #1 visited
Real Estate website, FSBO sellers should seriously consider an MLS listing through IggysHouse.com.

FSBO Definition and Myth
Defined: FSBO – “For Sale By Owner”; a seller who is not utilizing the help of a licensed
real estate agent to market and sell their property.
Myth: A true FSBO seller cannot have an MLS listing.
Myth Buster: A FSBO may have an MLS listing, but advertisement as a FSBO property could be restricted.
A FSBO seller may have an MLS listing. Depending on the brokerage relationship between the FSBO seller and the listing broker,
signs and print advertising indicating FSBO status may be prohibited. This is tied to MLS rules and regulations and is
generally thought of as a semantics issue. For complete details, refer to our FAQ.
The three mutually exclusive stages of successfully selling a home are marketing, contracting, and closing. It is possible for a seller to be a
FSBO in one stage and not another. However, there are some states that have enacted minimum service laws that require licensed
agents to perform certain duties that may affect the designation of the FSBO seller should they engage a licensed agent.
