For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

What is For Sale By Owner (FSBO)?

FSBOs have already raised their hand—they want to sell. But many discover quickly that doing it alone isn’t easy. This play helps you connect with these sellers early, offering help and resources that build trust before they get fed up and list with someone else. Be the agent who helps, not the one who pressures.

The Right Audience

This play is built manually, since FSBO sellers aren’t part of standard criteria. Use FSBO websites and our Chrome extension to extract property addresses, convert them into lists, and mark them for outreach. Key FSBO sources include ForSaleByOwner.com, Craigslist (Real Estate by Owner), Facebook Marketplace & FSBO groups, FSBO. com, and regional/local FSBO listing sites. These owners are trying to sell on their own but often struggle, making them motivated and open to agent conversations. Extracted FSBO addresses

The Right Message

FSBO owners often start out confident but quickly run into the realities of pricing, marketing, and buyer negotiations. Your message should show empathy while highlighting the value you bring—faster exposure, more buyers, and better offers. Position yourself as the partner who turns their struggle into success.
