Why do people try FSBOs instead of listing with a REALTOR?
The answer might surprise you…
A lot would assume it's all about commission, but only 40% of sellers do it for that reason. That means 60% don't!
Another interesting fact: Only 5% of people will never use a REALTOR. The othere 95% are open to it.
In fact, did you know 92% of FSBOs will end up working with a REALTOR?
The question is: Will it be you or your competitor? You need to reach out to them. There's a 4-6 week incubation period for most FSBOs. So, commit to working with them for that time.
When calling them, use this magic sentence: "I'm not calling to list your house. I respect your decision to sell on your own."
This will bring their defenses down. Then, ask to come by and take a look at their house. No pressure to list. It's about incubation and relationship-building.
If they decide to list with you, be ready for that conversation. Walk through the house, take notes, and casually ask if they might work with a REALTOR if they're not successful selling on their own.
If they agree, ask if you can stay in touch.
Once I gain permission to follow up, I check in every week. I ask about any activity and share updates on neighborhood listings. I remind them I'm available if they decide to turn to a REALTOR.
Now, here's a crucial statistic: 70% of FSBOs list with the first REALTOR who contacts them after deciding to work with one.
So, even if I reach out early, I stick with them for 4-6 weeks.
These are some key insights for working with FSBOs.
