OK, So while doing my prospecting this morning. I decided to start hitting some FSBO's instead of the expireds. Boy, what a day! Almost every call I made to a FSBO, they where hostile and told me that they did not need a Realtor to sell their house. I could not even get passed my first line of my script. Well, I chuckled to my self and thought if Realtors are having a hard time getting houses sold, what makes you think you will get your home sold. Of course I kept this to myself. You know I sometimes go on the FSBO forums, just to see what they are saying. I crack up when I read a FSBO post claiming that the "Damn Realtor" had my house for 6 months and could not get it sold. Then they go on to say how they have been a FSBO for 2 years and don't know why there house is not selling. So lets see you wan t to save that 3-6% commission, but you have been a FSBO for 6 months. You are losing roughly 2% per month on your equity for the last 2 years, and you still have not sold your home, but you saved that commission. Boy, talk about "Cutting your nose off to spite you face." Oh the otherFSBO post I see a lot is "I called all of the brokers in the area and offered 2% to a buyers agent." OK, let me run right over and bring my buyer to a house that there is no guarantee that I will get paid, just so you can pay me the 2% and I can do all of the work, since you have no Idea on what to do. I don't know ,this is just my little rant and rave about FSBO's. But I will be calling the FSBO's tomorrow, so FSBO's beware a Realtor is going to call you.
