A quick walkthrough of the biggest FSBO mistakes and how to avoid them

Quick Start Checklist

 

  • Get a seller net sheet estimate from your escrow/title company
     
  • Hire professional photos
     
  • Write a clear description with showing rules
     
  • Create showing windows (avoid random one-offs)
     
  • Require pre-approval/proof of funds before private showings
     
  • Compare offers using price and terms (not price alone)

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at bryan@callcastro.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 A: Many buyers are represented. Offering compensation can increase showings and reduce friction. Whether you offer it (and how much) is a strategy decision—just make sure you understand how it affects demand. 


 A: Use them as a rough starting point only. Real pricing comes from recent, comparable closed sales and current competition.


 A: No. Some sellers use them, but FSBO sellers often find they bring more unqualified traffic than real buyers. If you do one, use strict safety and entry rules.


 A: Require proof of funds/pre-approval and use a consistent script (included in the guide).


 A: Earnest money, inspection period, appraisal (if financed), title/escrow work, final walkthrough, signing, and recording. The guide includes a step-by-step timeline.
