The Answer is YES!
The MAIN purpose of selling a property as a For Sale by Owner is to save thousands of dollars in real estate commission. Part of our job is to inform For Sale by Owners who are committed to selling their property that there are options available to be more successful at saving all or half of the real estate commission.
The Real Estate Classified LLC (Better Business Bureau) is a real estate advertising company operating since 2012. We've successfully marketed 1000's of properties from rentals to for sale by owners. One of the things we've learned throughout the years working in this industry is that For Sale by Owners using only Zillow to advertise their property fail at a rate of 80%. It is also statistically proven that most For Sale by Owners wind up listing with a full service real estate agency. It doesn't have to be that way anymore!
Property promotion is a vital part of success to selling as a For Sale by Owner. Our real estate property ads are posted into an online property database, www.therealestateclassified.com, then promoted to buyers through a vast network of real estate groups and pages throughout Facebook, Instagram, and Craigslist. We offer a low cost marketing package that advertises directly to buyers and does not offer a real estate commission to real estate agents .

When your current actions as a For Sale by Owner aren't producing results and selling is your goal we offer a few options that can expedite that goal. We call them the "Half a FSBO" option.
What does that mean? The "Half a FSBO" option is how we help getting a property listed in the local MLS. When a buyer comes from the MLS advertising you will work with their buyer's agent and pay a commission that you determine when an offer is accepted and closed. You, as the For Sale by Owner, will represent yourself and not pay a seller's agent commission. (Saving 2-3% of the sale price)
Why is it important to list into a local MLS?
Most qualified buyers are already working with real estate agents. Reaching these buyers is paramount to your success in selling!
If I was able to ask one question to anyone committed to selling their home as a for sale by owner it would be this. By using FSBOplusMLS.com,
Would being "HALF a FSBO" benefit a For Sale by Owner financially?
The numbers say that it would and it's valued at thousands of dollars in commission savings.
Example
- $500,000 property listed with a full service agency ($20,000-$30,000 commission, no option to sell as a For Sale by Owner)
- $500,000 property using FSBOplusMLS.com selling to a buyer represented by an agent ($10,000-$15,000 commission)(Includes the option to sell to buyers not represented by an agent at 0 commission)
We are committed to expediting the sale of your property as a for sale by owner! The flat fee payment to FSBOplusMLS.com is for the processing of MLS paperwork, setting up a For Sale by Owner advertising campaign and maintaining the advertising campaign. Is being a "Half a FSBO" better than being none at all? Indeed it is!
