Is Anyone Home? Anyone??
As I’ve noted from time to time, For Sale By Owners (“FSBO’s”) are prone to multiple mistakes, any one of which can easily negate (or worse) any money such Sellers hope to save on commission.
See, “FSBO Mistake #1 (and #2, #3, etc.)”; “FSBO Mistake #4“; “FSBO Mistake #37.”
Along with the two biggest mistakes I routinely see FSBO’s commit — overpricing and not knowing how to market — come a raft of smaller ones that cumulatively can be just as costly.
Like the Lake Nokomis FSBO I showed this Sunday.
Waste of Time
Make that, tried to show.
When I opened up the lockbox to access the house . . . no key.
After calling the contact number listed on MLS and leaving a voicemail, my client and I headed down the street to get a cup of coffee while we waited for a return phone call.
I’m glad we moved on after 15 minutes: almost two days later, I still haven’t heard back.
