The FSBO Game: Navigating Scams, Agents, Buyers, and More!

Selling your home as a "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) is a journey filled with both exciting moments and tricky challenges. To successfully navigate this landscape, you'll need to master the FSBO game, understanding how to handle scams, real estate agents, and potential buyers effectively.

Here's your playbook for the game:

Tackling Scam Offers:

Scammers love to dangle irresistible offers in front of FSBO sellers. Always exercise caution when an offer seems too good to be true. If it seems unrealistic, it probably is.
Beware Overseas Transactions

It's not uncommon for real estate agents to reach out. Politely inform them that you're selling your home as an FSBO. They generally respect your choice.
