We have had a lot of clients asking if there was a way to sell by owner AND be on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

We have made an agreement with a local broker who will place your property on the MLS…and, you can still sell the home by owner!

If “you” sell the property – you do not owe the agent another dime!

Other FSBO sites that do not allow you to advertise your home if it is listed with an agent are just missing the point. You want help advertising a property for sale – Thats what we do best! If an agent brings the buyer, and you are getting a good price – why would you pass up that opportunity? Negotiate, stay objective, and sell! If your home is listed with an agent – call us – we can help!

While other sites place questionable statistics & banners on their sites to drive future business, we place our numerous customer testimonials on our site for you to see an accurate measurement of our success. After reading these testimonials, you will be reassured we are working in the best interests of our clients & that our advertising works! “Customer testimonials are the only true measure of how a business is doing it’s job.

Since 1999 we have offered superior home advertising in the Quad Cities. Over the years, numerous other fsbo sites have came and went… all offering some gimmick. The old phrase “you get what you pay for” sinks in. Recently, we have noticed some of these fsbo home sites are offering no up front fees but hit you for “huge” costs at closing! Why pay thousands when you can get better results for as little as $200? Your cost to advertise on our website may or may not be cheaper than the next guy but considering our services & marketing campaigns, we “are” the best choice in comparison.

If you have ever been to any of the local qc fsbo homes websites, you have seen banners & stats stating all their so called achievements. What they have achieved is to throw out a lot of information “without” any proof. You are supposed to just swallow up everything they say as fact… I don’t know about you – but – for the last 20+ years that I have been running this business – I know when I smell B.S.  and let me tell you – it is beginning to stink around here.

Example 1: One site simply says their homes sell for 99.93% of suggested list price! (Who’s suggested list price)? They also state their homes average days on the market is 20 days… Hmmm… I have a database full of everyone’s listings… I bet that is a bit of a stretch! Pick out 5 or 10 of their properties and come back in 20 days to see how many of those you selected are still active and how many have went pending… You will have your answer and know if the stat is worthy and accurate.

Example 2: Have you seen the new site in Iowa that has no upfront fees? Wait – before you jump into that mess – be aware the cost comes at closing! That’s right – upwards of $1999 or more depending on options! There is also this cute slide bar showing what it will cost you to sell with them vs flat fee mls, etc… and if you have any knowledge of this – the math is wrong. But, they dont think you will ever check it… and, people tend to believe what they are told. How is one little site getting almost $2,000 at closing when you can get an MLS listing for $990? They cannot compare the exposure of the mls. There are almost 1000 agents working the mls daily. How many are working at this new Iowa fsbo homes place?

Example 3: The old fsbo site in the qc has revamped their site and still says they are #1… (according to them). They love tooting their own horn and throwing out stats like candy at a parade! Read the fine print… if you have to call or go in to get the details of their stats – that means they do not want to post it online… I wonder why? Could it be debated? Could those of us who track their information see that their stats “may” be a complete farce?  Somehow, they still continue to try and convince everyone that the MLS is dead, and they are the best thing since the wheel… lol – Some things will never change.

I see I have gone an yet another rant… I apologize folks – it is just that after 20 years of helping sellers, I get a bit upset when I see them spending good money for inferior service and being convinced of things that are not absolutely true.

Ask questions folks… demand answers. You deserve them!
