FOR SALE BY OWNER ALTERNATIVE

MLS EXPOSURE WITHOUT GOING IT ALONE

Before taking on pricing, marketing, negotiations and paperwork yourself, compare FSBO with full-service representation for a flat $4,995 listing fee.

FSBO puts every job on the seller

The homeowner becomes the pricing strategist, photographer, marketer, showing coordinator, negotiator and transaction manager. A mistake in any area can cost more than the fee you hoped to save.

What Michael's service includes

  • Local pricing strategy and comparative market analysis
  • Professional photography and drone photography where appropriate
  • MLS entry and broad online marketing
  • Showing coordination and buyer feedback
  • Offer, inspection and appraisal guidance
  • Contract negotiation and support through closing

MLS-only versus full service

An entry-only service may put the property in MLS while leaving questions, disclosures, scheduling, negotiations and deadlines to the seller. Michael's program combines savings with professional representation.

Important fee detail

The $4,995 is the listing-side fee. Buyer-broker compensation, closing costs and other transaction expenses are separate and negotiable where applicable.
