Southern California Real Estate Agent Creates Website to Assist "For Sale by Owner's" Free of Charge
Los Angeles County homeowners now have a REALTOR who is actually willing to assist For Sale By Owners (also known as FSBO's), by providing social media marketing and a multi-million dollar technology system free of charge. The process is easy to get started with no contracts. Why would a For Sale By Owner not take advantage of this service?
Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, October 26, 2015 (Newswire.com) - LAFSBOAgent.com has launched this week. It is a simple one page website dedicated to providing free service to homeowners who decide to sell their properties without an agent. It is the brainchild of long-time local REALTOR Yvette Thomas, a Broker-Associate at Keller Williams Realty LA Harbor.
The site offers homeowners the tools to assist them with marketing their property. “Most home owners who decide to sell their property themselves do not have adequate exposure to potential buyers,” says Thomas. As a self-acknowledged "Tech Guru" of her office, she decided to mash-up three multi-million dollar technology systems in order to provide a unique one-of-a-kind service specifically for owners wishing to sell their homes themselves.

By completing the on-line form sellers will receive:
- FREE “For Sale By Owner” sign with toll-free number
- FREE text message code for buyers to download an informational flier
- FREE dedicated property website
- FREE social media sharing links
- FREE weekly emailed market updates of recent sales, price changes and new listings in their community
- FREE access to a loan consultant to screen potential buyers
According to the National Association of Realtors, only 9% of homes sold in 2013 were sold by FSBO's and 36% of them used only a yard sign to market their home.
Thomas knows there is more to selling a home than marketing. She understands that 84% of FSBO's will list with an agent, and when they do, she anticipates they will appreciate her novel approach to home selling.
Thomas sees this new venture as a win for homeowners and her business. At the current time, service is limited to Los Angeles County.
