The seller is not subject to any real estate commission rules as he is a principal. We are not advertising (our name is nowhere to be found) but simply helping the principal. It is in the clear in every state so long as we are not doing the advertising.

Caution: Some states’s real estate commissions may regard this as advertising and the licensee might need a signed brokerage agreement in order to do this.

Thanks for reading and for posting! Shelby, you can reach me at Matt.Jones@FavoriteAgent.com. I’ll be happy to discuss working together.

Mark, that is a great post. It’s good to have somebody else who’s done it confirm how good it works. You have incredible results, by the way.

Thanks again for reading and for posting.

This system works great, you just have to be aware of your seller’s motivation. If they are in a hurry to get their property sold, then it’s a good idea to set their expectations accordingly.

However, we sometimes had properties move faster with a simple yard sign and call capture number than we did when they got the full Internet marketing and MLS treatment.

I was running a similar system in 2007 that generated an avg of 40-60 buyer calls a day with only about 30 listings. We actually had our real estate agents selling our FSBO package to homeowners for us, so it really made things easy.

Great approach Matt. I am implementing something simialr. How does an agent become part of your network? I work with a few great ones. Also, are you looking on adding any lender partners.

Matt this is a great idea. In my earlier days in the business I used to market FSBOs all the time. If I did something like this I probably would of had more success with them.
