For Sale By Owner Services

Clovis CA For Sale By Owner, Clovis FSBO Thinking of selling your home by yourself? We can help! Our For Sale By Owner services are designed for those home owners who want to save by selling their own homes. We can help …

As a FSBO, you’ve probably heard of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is an online database where 90% of all homes for sale are listed. It is also the primary tool used by real estate companies to showcase homes for sale to potential buyers. That’s because 4 out of 5 buyers use the MLS when looking for a home.

Unfortunately, as a FSBO, you don’t have access to the MLS (only real estate companies can list homes on the MLS). That means in order to sell your home, you’re stuck with expensive Fresno Bee newspaper ads or a Home Depot yard sign to lure potential buyers to come see your home. Or maybe you’re thinking about using Craigslist — hoping a potential buyer will look there. If that’s your strategy, then you may want to read Top 5 Reasons FSBOs Don’t Sell before you rely on those methods.

Regardless of whatever marketing methods you use, if your home isn’t on the MLS — you’re missing out on thousands of Clovis / Fresno home buyers searching for their next home on the MLS. These buyers could very well love to buy YOUR home — but if they don’t know it’s for sale, how can they buy it?

Not convinced you the MLS works? Answer this then. Where will you search for a new home when you sell yours? If you said the Clovis Real Estate website or any other real estate company’s web site, you’ll be searching for homes listed on the MLS just like thousands of other Clovis / Fresno buyers. Doesn’t it make sense then to place your home on the MLS?
