Working with owners who are selling their own homes, from finding FSBO leads to the first call and the follow-up that earns a listing. These posts cover where FSBO sellers advertise, an honest opening call, the math behind common objections, safety before a first meeting, bringing a buyer to a FSBO, and when a limited-service listing is allowed.
Start with the FSBO script and how to find FSBO leads, then plan the next contacts with the FSBO follow-up plan. The FSBO prospecting guide puts the steps in order.
A FSBO who will not pay a full commission will sometimes pay a few hundred dollars to be in the MLS, and the agent has to decide whether to be the broker who takes it. What a limited-service listing actually is, the minimum-service laws in seven states that may forbid the version you are picturing, the duties no agreement can waive, the three ways the arrangement goes wrong, and the offer that beats it.

A FSBO’s objections are all math the seller has done in their head. The response to each is not a rebuttal. It is the rest of the math, in their figures, not yours.

FSBO sellers publish themselves, across half a dozen places, on a Saturday. Here is where they appear, how to verify each one, and the flat-fee MLS trap that makes some of them off limits.
