One of the biggest thing a real estate agent does for you is post for sale signs around your neighborhood for people to come and see your house. Say you were selling your house for $250,000, and the house is sold based on one of those signs that the real estate agent posted for you, which took them about an hour to do for a minimal cost. Well, face it, you pretty much paid $15,000 for a sign poster. That's not a pleasant thing to think about, is it? But if you're selling FSBO, not only can you post your own signs and save yourself some cash by not having an agent do it, you're also giving yourself an advantage over other houses being sold by agents just by posting your sign stating that your house is being sold FSBO. Here's how.

A bell goes off in a potential buyers head when they hear that a house is being sold FSBO, and it's telling them that they can get a better deal on your home over other comparables in the neighborhood because you're saving on commission. People who are looking for FSBO houses specifically will find your signs and follow them, as the lure of making money quickly off of the purchase of your home makes them desire to see your home.

Do a little bit of searching around, specifically on the Internet, to find places that sell specialty "FSBO signs" that you can place around your neighborhood. You might also be able to find them at local "sell all" stores, but make sure that "For Sale By Owner" is prominently displayed on the sign. You want to attract people as quickly and efficiently as possible, and seeing those key words will definitely attract potential buyers.

Take these signs and post them around your neighborhood on ends of blocks, any entrance to your neighborhood, and any busy intersections leading to your neighborhood. Most importantly, one in front of your home so that potential buyers can be led directly to your place for their inquiry.

For selling your house FSBO, getting signs that say exactly that can speak volumes, more than any real estate agent could get for you posting regular for sale signs and taking your hard earned cash.
