FiSBO Registry, Inc. is a nation wide database of properties that are For Sale By Owner and compiled on the Internet at “www.fisbos.com”.  Homebuyers throughout the world access this database free.  Many experts believe the Internet will be one of the most effective ways to market your home. 

FiSBO Registry, Inc. can give you the greatest market exposure available today.  In the past, For Sale By Owners have been limited to yard signs and local newspaper advertising that was very expensive and seldom effective.  FiSBO Registry, Inc. gives the For Sale By Owner the power of Internet exposure and supplemental exposure in newspapers, “homes for sale” magazines, yard signs, and other advertising mediums only used by traditional real estate companies. 

Until FiSBO Registry, Inc. came along most For Sale By Owner properties had been scattered and never compiled through one source allowing easy access.  By the way, if a buyer’s agent represents the buyer for your home, the buyer pays a fee to their buyers’ agent for finding them the right property.  In some cases the buyer may add this fee to their offer to purchase your home in order to finance the buyer’s cost.  That is negotiated between you and the buyer.  You are not obligated to pay anyone! 

Can I tell FiSBO Registry, Inc. where to advertise?  No.  Just as you have no obligation to pay a commission, you have no say in where your home is advertised. 

Buyers that see your ads will continue to contact you directly!.  Consumers using a buyer’s agent are serious and have pre-approved financing.  You can be assured when a buyer’s agent calls to show your home it will not be a waste of your time.  Remember that these buyers have contracted the agent to find a home.  They are not tire kickers or Sunday drivers. 

Can a buyer’s agent negotiate for me the Seller?  No.  Buyer’s agents are representing the buyer, not you, the seller.  FiSBO Registry, Inc. will greatly expand your marketing exposure and most likely bring you more buyers than you may find on your own, but FiSBO Registry, Inc. is no substitute for seller representation.  Buyer agents throughout the country agree that both buyers and sellers need professional exclusive representation.  You are free to seek advice through attorneys, appraisers or licensed real estate agents from your area.  Many of these professionals will help for a flat fee. 

Can I list my home with a real estate company and still have the exposure that FiSBO Registry, Inc. gives me?  Yes, and no.  There are two types of listing contracts.  One is called an EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SELL.  This contract does not allow you to be a For Sale By Owner.  The second is called EXCLUSIVE AGENCY.  If you clearly tell the real estate agent that you want to retain the right to sell on your own, your contract must read EXCLUSIVE AGENCY. 

It sounds great, but what if I change my mind after I am registered?  Just call and let us know of the change!  If you want your home removed from FiSBO Registry, Inc. or it has sold through your own efforts, just let us know.  We do not want to waste your time or any buyer’s time by not having updated registrations.
