This was my 3rd time dealing with FSBO and my second dealing with Sharan. The whole team at FSBO are good to deal with but my experience in dealing with Sharan has been excellent both times. You get the very distinct feeling she is there to help you and goes out of her way to do so. She is friendly yet professional a great combination in my books. I would highly recommend dealing with the people at FSBO as not only will you save money you will get great service, and in my experience? that is a rarity these days.

FSBO saved me over $35K!! They were very quick to reply to any questions and did a great job! This is my 3rd private house sale in my life... and I would never use an agent again... you have to follow their process and list your house properly, especially pricing... but a great success! Thank you FSBO!!

Many people told me "You can't sell on your own ya know (with FSBO) because realtors will not show your house... well as I already knew; their advice was TOTAL GARBAGE!! I had 13 showings the first go-round. (and that was in Jan. Feb. '23) Due to outside complications I had to put the listing on hold. 4 months later I re-listed. It was up for only 3 days. I had FOUR showings and THREE OFFERS!! I would never EVER pay a realtor to sell my home again. ** But to clarify; realtors do HELP CONSIDERABLY when making a purchase. I listed with FSBO and MLS (as an add-on with the FSBO listing) In addition; seller (me) sets the commission you want to offer incoming realtors. THIS is why they will still bring buyer to you. I set mine at 3% of the first 100K and 1% of the balance. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. No realtor I know of will ever turn down $8,700.!!! (normally a full commission is 7% and 3% - so half is 3.5% and 1%). Even someone with 'money to burn' would not give away money they don't have to! Be smart; save your hard-earned money!! Newer smart phones have fantastic cameras. I did all my own photos. One thing a seller does have to pay for is the new mandatory RMS in Alberta (professional measurements of listing) I paid $105 (incl tax). All together on $689K house; I saved $8,700. yes folks... that's "EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!!" (which was ONLY HALF of the full commission. The real estate industry is VERY out of touch with reality... Should you use a service like this? *** ABSOLUTELY - VERY WELL WORTH IT *** the extra work I did on my end of it. (*total costs to me were just under $1000. do everything) They were pretty easy to deal with as well - in getting the info uploaded etc. - which helped a lot. Especially in today's market where homes are 'virtually flying off the shelves!' Why on earth would you pay someone over $8K (in my case) for a house to sell in as little as a day?! That's just obscene - by my estimation. (mine sold in 3 days)
