What Our Clients Say

FSBO Prospecting Requires Patience

Despite the apparent benefits of working with an agent, prospecting homeowners on your FSBO list requires patience to build rapport and trust. So as you begin to work your for sale by owner leads, keep the following tips in mind:

It doesn’t take long for many FSBOs to get frustrated by selling their own home, which is why keeping your name top-of-mind with them is essential. A video email through Espresso Agent’s StoryTellr application is a great way to keep you front and center with FSBO leads.

Great notes allow you to play back salient information in future conversations with a FSBO, thus showing them your level of interest in selling their home.

FSBOs are often unsure whether they’ve made the right decision to sell independently. You can build trust by affirming their conclusion: “Great idea to sell on your I think you’ll have a lot of success. And if you need any help, let me know.” FSBOs must conclude that they need an agent to sell quickly and at the best price.

It’s essential to keep your eagerness in check during an initial call and not jump right in with the hard sell. Remember, your initial call is about building trust and rapport with someone who has already decided to sell on their own.

How can you provide value for a FSBO? Maybe you can answer questions about paperwork. Or suggest excellent landscapers to improve the curb appeal for the FSBO. By supporting their efforts in the short term, they are more likely to remember you when they’ve come up empty after a few weeks of selling on their own.

Handling FSBO Objections

When working in the world of FSBO lead generation real estate, you will have to prepare yourself for the inevitable objections that the homeowner will send your way. Our blog post “14 FSBO Objections Real Estate Agents May Face” is a comprehensive guide for helping deflect these objections. Let’s unpack just a few of these objections:

  • My house will sell itself, so why would I need a real estate agent? Many FSBOs have a distorted view of their property, so you’ll have to be careful with how you answer this objection. Affirm their belief, but gently shift the narrative to the marketing value you’ll bring to the process. In other words, no matter how nice their home might be, if nobody sees it, it won’t sell.
  • It’s a seller’s market so I should be able to get top dollar, and not have to pay a commission. The commission objection is obviously the biggie, but as we noted in the “facts” above, agent-sold homes fetch a significantly higher price than FSBO sold properties. Even when adjusting for commission, the agent-sold home will net the homeowner more money in the long run.

We believe you’ll get tremendous value from the insights shared in Objections BLOG.
