If you’re selling your home For Sale By Owner and mostly hearing from scammers, lowball investors, and agents pretending they have buyers — you’re not alone.
And it’s not because FSBO “doesn’t work.” It’s because real buyers are shopping somewhere else.
If you’re selling your home For Sale By Owner, you’ve probably noticed a pattern:
Very few serious buyers
Endless lowball offers
Scammers and weird financing pitches
Realtors trying to preview your home to get your listing
In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen explains why this happens, why most legitimate buyers almost never browse FSBO sites, and why platforms like Zillow’s FSBO section, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace attract the wrong crowd. More importantly, he shows you how FSBO sellers can keep full control of their sale and get their home in front of the entire buyer market without paying 6% or signing a traditional listing agreement.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why FSBO sites attract scammers, tire-kickers, and lowballers
Where serious buyers actually search for homes
How the MLS acts as the “buyer superhighway”
How FSBO sellers unknowingly limit their buyer pool
How to get MLS exposure for a low flat fee (and keep direct control of your listing)
If you want maximum exposure, real buyers, and top-market results, without giving up control or paying a giant commission, then this episode will completely change how you think about selling your home.
