What is a "FSBO"?
"FSBO" is an acronym for: For Sale By Owner. In the real estate world you might hear them referred to phonetically as a "Fizbo". For Sale by Owner properties are easily found in craigslist.com under Oregon, Eugene, Real estate for Sale. Click here
Many sellers will attempt to sell their properties themselves prior to seeking professional representation. Most are open to compensating a buyer's agents if a buyer is professionally represented. (This means that there is often no cost to a buyer to seek professional representation)
Eugene's Alternative represents many buyers in FSBO's transactions every year.
Our clients are counseled to have Eugene's Alternative make the first contact with the seller to build the relationship, assess the story of the property and schedule a viewing time. Eugene's Alternative then reports back to our clients with the information and timing. Having Eugene's Alternative make the 1st contact is important because we have a high level of success negotiating buyer's agent compensation paid by the seller when Eugene's Alternative makes the 1st contact.
The sale fall-through rate without a professional representative is very high. Some of the qualities that professional representation brings to a transaction are:
Safety - All agreements are reviewed by a licensed Broker who has experience and understands the requirements of a legal real estate transaction in the state of Oregon.
Professional Perspective - There is nothing more dangerous to a transaction than two confused and emotional parties trying to work through a difficult negotiation alone. When trust between the buyer and seller is compromised the transaction's environment can become toxic. Having a smooth handed professional in the middle, listening, reacting to, or leading parties through a tough spot can make all the difference to the success of a sale. A good Realtor can take the pressure off of the individuals and bring smooth & quick resolution to issues that can otherwise progress to a danger.
