For sale by owner
properties, or FSBO’s as they are commonly refereed, are some of the
best places to look for new clients. If done correctly, they can
provide a steady stream of interested and motivated new home
purchasers. And at very little cost.
As a loan officer, your
goal is to become the mortgage source that the FSBO seller will refer
interested home buyers to, to get pre-qualified. And don’t forget
that the FSBO seller may be looking for a new property as well—and with
that a new loan. If you work the arrangement properly, you can get
loans coming from both ways.
Here are some of the
best places to locate FSBO’s in your area:
-
The real estate
classified section of your local newspaper.
-
The Want Advertiser
Magazine, and other small local buy/sell classified ad magazines.
To give you a sense, a similar magazine is the Auto Trader, but
there are ones out there that deal specifically with items and
property.
-
Drive around the
neighborhoods you know are hot markets.
-
Ask real estate
referral partners such as realtors (they look for FSBO’s too, so may
have seen one), appraisers (most FSBO’s will an appraisal report to
justify a price), real estate attorneys (FSBO’s need contract work
done), and others.
-
Real estate section
on ebay. A great resource!
-
Warnock’s By Owner,
an alerting service for real estate and mortgage professionals that
tracks FSBO’s all over the country. You can visit their site at

Other FSBO sites to
look at:
http://www.fsbo.com,
http://www.virtualfsbo.com,
http://www.isoldmyhouse.com,
http://www.salebyownerrealty.com,
http://www.fsbonetwork.com,
http://www.fsbo.net.
The most important
thing to remember when dealing with FSBO’s is to identify to the
prospect that you are NOT a real estate agent. You are there to help
them weed out the unqualified prospects and save them time, money, and
aggravation. These are the hot- buttons that will get your foot in the
door, and a sale in your pocket.
In our next
installment, we’ll look at how to best approach a FSBO prospect.
