You’re right – homes that are offered “by owner” can be a great source for buyers to find good deals. Sellers are able to be more flexible and competitive in their asking price when a 6% commission doesn’t hang in the balance.
While you’ve mentioned a few national websites for buyers to look, don’t overlook look regional FSBO websites. Often, these sites are more reliable when it comes to keeping the listings fresh and many publishers of regional FSBO websites also publish print magazines in their local area.
