Property Guys FSBO update

What does it Mean when Property Guys says that Joe Schmo the agent will rob you? Are we in the robbing business? Are you aware that Property Guys post these hangers on Seller's door knobs? When the listing expires? How does Property Guys, the FSBO imply that when you advertise your home it is listed with them? What listing service do they provide? Are they licensed realtors to LIST your home for sale?

Have a look at the Picture below from a door hanger that was removed from a listed property.

Why do Buyers use a Realtor? They use a realtor, a professional full time realtor, to cut through the thousands of erroneous reports about nothing down, rent to own, find a house beside the train track, credible local market data that of interest to the Buyer. Help sifting through the hundreds of ads on various sites that sold in 2005 and are still there, looking like the best deal since sliced bread. The Buyers are knocking 10% to 30% off of all offers because they read it in a newspaper somewhere that the values are dropping by 30% this year! Have you read about the Housing Bubble in Toronto Condos?

Buyers who are out shopping for a deal do not wish to enter into negotiations with a Donald Trump Pretend to be Make a deal at My price kind of guys.

What value do I bring? When we are out after seeing homes, we will discuss at length and on paper, homes that have sold in that subdivision, that neighbourhood recently. We will look at the Terranet and GeoWarehouse Mapping to see what sold near you. We can look up all those FSBO ads on the computer by address and we will see that they were sold by Agents after they were listed and buyers were found.
