According to NAR (National Association of Realtors), 13% of home sellers in 2005 were FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers. In order to provide our customers with as much access as possible to this remaining sector of the real estate market, we have created our FSBO Sellers tool to give our customers as wide a variety of homes available for sale as possible to choose from. While helping ZipRealty buyers, this tool also provides a great resource for FSBO Sellers, since it efficiently markets their home to qualified ZipRealty buyers.
Using an easy to use interface, FSBO Sellers can be quickly and easily be matched with targeted ZipRealty buyers. A FSBO Seller can enter in the address of the home they want to sell, their asking price, and a few additional property details and then be quickly matched with ZipAgents who could potentially represent hundreds or even thousands of home buyers looking for homes that match the FSBO Seller’s home.
Since many FSBO Sellers usually agree to pay a buyer’s agent commission anyways, ZipRealty’s 2.5% commission request from the FSBO Seller (upon a completed home sale to a ZipRealty Buyer), does not fundamentally alter the spirit or the structure of a FSBO transaction.
