I'm considering on adding a FSBO page on my site. I know I would have to have a disclosure stating that I do not represent the seller - or the buyer - at this point. I wonder how many FSBO homeowners would like to have there photo and price on my site. I would offer to post it here as long as any buyers that I bring to them the sellers would be willing to pay a commission. Most FSBO offer to pay a commission to agents for bringing them buyers - usually a 3% fee - I would like to offer the posting on my site for free - and only charge a 1.5% fee for bringing the buyer. I would offer to represent any buyer they give me and make sure all required state paperwork is filled out. I believe this would be a win-win situation - they use my website for marketing and I would (hopefully) get some buyers out of the deal. It would mean that there would have to be some trust on my part - trusting the FSBO seller to actually give me the buyer. If I were the seller, especially with all the lawsuits today, I would rather pay a reduced fee and make sure the required paperwork is completed than to risk a lawsuit.
If anyone has any suggestions on this, please respond. Would you like to see FSBO listings on here my site?
