FSBO cold call today.
Didn’t try to “close” them.
Didn’t argue.
Didn’t pressure.
They gave me 3 months.
And that’s a win.
Because most agents hear “call me in a few months” and disappear.
I hear it and build a plan.
Over the next 90 days they’ll get:
• Real pricing feedback from active buyers
• Weekly market updates specific to their street
• Showing activity data they don’t have access to
• Positioning advice before they ever interview agents
By the time they’re ready to talk, I won’t be “another agent.”
I’ll already be the professional who’s been guiding the process.
That’s how interviews are earned, not begged for.
FSBOs don’t need pressure.
They need competence, consistency, and proof.
If you want to learn how to turn “call me later” into signed listings,
comment AGENT or DM me AGENT.
Most agents overcomplicate FSBO calls. You don’t need a fancy script, you just need to understand how to lead the conversation.
When a seller says they’re selling on their own to save money, don’t argue. Align with them.
Say something like, “So what I hear you saying is you just want to walk away with as much money as possible, right?”
Once they agree, you’ve reframed the call. Now it’s not you versus them, it’s you with them.
From there, help them see that if you can net them the same or more, it doesn’t matter how they sell, only that they get what they want.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listings scream red flags—not just for agents, but for buyers too.
Let’s cut to the chase: FSBO sellers think they know everything. They don’t see value in hiring a real estate professional, and honestly, they usually don’t see value in any profession—because they’ve got it all figured out.
They often have outdated homes - the roof has 17 layers of shingles and should have been replaced in the ‘90s. The sewer line has shifted, with cracks and root intrusion. The electrical panel is a 100-amp box struggling to power their old appliances. And let’s not even get started on sliding foundations, unpermitted work, and long-forgotten code violations.
They have zero understanding of contracts, disclosures, or legal requirements. The only thing they “know” is what Zillow and Redfin tell them their home is worth—which, by the way, is usually wrong.
✔️Deferred maintenance? Check.
✔️Overpriced expectations? Always.
✔️No idea what they’re doing? Absolutely.
If my buyer is serious about a FSBO home, I end up doing both sides of the deal, educating a seller who doesn’t even want to pay me. Their heads are so far up their own assumptions that they don’t even know which way is up. And that attitude? That makes negotiating or reasoning with them nearly impossible. Hard pass.
The Facts Don’t Lie:
▪️FSBO homes sell for nearly 30% less than agent-listed homes. (NAR)
▪️FSBO sales are shrinking—only 7-10% of homes are sold this way today. (NAR)
▪️77% of FSBO sellers eventually hire an agent anyway. (Zillow)
Thinking of buying or selling FSBO? Proceed with caution. Some battles aren’t worth fighting.

“I’m not paying 3% just to open doors” is one of the most common objections.
If that’s all agents did… they’d be overpriced.

Thinking about selling your home yourself to save the commission? Here’s what most FSBOs don’t tell you. 👇
Homes listed with an agent sell for more money — even after the commission. Why? Pricing strategy, negotiation skills, and access to a pool of qualified buyers.
Going FSBO means you’re also taking on the marketing, showings, contracts, negotiations, inspections, appraisals, and closing coordination. That’s a full-time job — on top of your actual full-time job.
And buyers’ agents? They’re going to negotiate hard against you. You’ll be flying solo against a professional.
A great agent pays for themselves. 🏡

Buying a FSBO home might look like a shortcut to a better deal, but too often it turns into a masterclass in hidden problems, missed disclosures, bad pricing, weak negotiations, and costly mistakes. The truth is, the seller is looking out for the seller. Zillow won’t negotiate repairs, your uncle won’t review the contract, and “saving the commission” can cost you far more in the long run. A good buyer’s agent helps you spot red flags, protect your money, and keep you from getting emotionally attached to a deal that was shaky from day one. Free cheese only exists in mousetraps.
Thinking about buying in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, or Williamson County? Work with someone who knows how to protect your best interests from day one.

Why are we not seeing a lot of for sale by owners? 🤔
I’ll tell you why… your property is not selling in this market for the price that you want without proper exposure.
Not to mention the room for error in the contracts that could cost you thousands! 💰
We had an agent recently do a deal with a FSBO and the owner signed something she didn’t understand and it cost her an extra $3500 at closing 🥵
Take the guessing out of things and hire a professional 💯
