"FSBO" stands for "For Sale By Owner."
The reason that sellers opt to sell their home themselves (without
the assistance of a realtor) is to save on the commissions that realtors
charge. This can mean thousands in savings. |

Posting your house for sale on as many websites as possible is how
you get exposure. Listing your (ON) Ontario house for sale on Canada-fsbo.net is a great way
to get prospective buyers interested in your property. The best part
about our site is that posting your real estate is free! |

The main benefit of using a realtor when selling your (ON) Ontario home is that realtors have a lot of advertising leverage.
Most homeowners do not have access to MLS or other means of promoting
their home. |

What is Curb Appeal? - This is a term used by realtors
to describe the initial appearance of a home for sale. If a prospective
buyer comes to a showing, and there is trash in the front yard, the
sidewalks have snow on them, and there is chipped paint on the door,
the "curb appeal" or "first impression" will be
compromised. Even if the inside of the house is spectacular, the potential
buyer may not ask to see it if the outside of the house is in bad
shape. |
|
Studies have shown that empty homes are harder to sell than homes
that still have furniture and decor. |
|
However, there is a fine line between keeping furniture and decorations,
and "clutter." Houses that look too cluttered appear smaller
and less inviting. |
|
How much do I list my (ON) Ontario home for sale for? The first step should be getting an
appraisal. This will compare your home to other homes in your location,
and how much they are listed for, or have sold for. However, many
people expect an FSBO to list for less, since they realize that there
is no commission being paid to ther realtor. |
