A - FSBO (For-Sale-By-Owner) sites: What are their pros and cons?

 Checklist:   Comparing FSBO web sites

Put on your "buyer hat" and take a hard look at the home page of different sites. Don't get enamored by what looks appealing to a seller. You want a site that impresses buyers. 

Print this page, make copies and use it to compare different sites.

SITE NAME: ________________________

COST: ___________________________________________________  

 

ADVANTAGES		DRAWBACKS
Would you consider the site “buyer friendly”, generating minimal confusion?		Does it appear to overly appeal to sellers forgetting that you want it to attract buyers ?
Can you easily spot how to get information about homes for sale?		Does the site tell visitors how many other visitors have seen a home?
Do they make it easy to find homes of interest to you?		Is navigating the site slow, complicated, or cumbersome?
Can you input a number that takes you directly to a specific home?		Is the site filled with “obsolete” homes, those no longer for sale?
Are addresses provided so you can do a drive by or are you forced to call for more info?		Is it hard to find contact information (address, phone and email) for the owners?
