GET FSBO's WITH HOMETOUR 360º™

Leverage your HomeTour 360s to get business from For Sale By Owners

• NAR reports that in 2000 FSBO's accounted for 16% of all homes sold. So how do you position yourself to compete for their business?
• Offer a HomeTour 360º™ to get the listing! Most FSBO's choose not to use an agent because they don't see the value relative to the commission charged. Show the FSBO how to give their home an open house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to millions of potential buyers. They'll see the value you offer in giving their home the exposure it needs to sell quickly and at the best price with the least inconvenience to them.
• FSBOs are also buyers! Another way to get both sides of the transaction would be to provide them with an E-mail Tour on diskette to help them sell their home. In return, ask to represent them in finding a new home. Now you're ready to collect your buyer's commission or referral fee.
