Comments on: Find Homes with Tulsa Realtors MLS http://tulsarealtorshomes.com Tulsa Realtors Homes for Sale, Buyers and Sellers Blog and Videos Fri, 19 Nov 2010 14:08:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: JD Smith http://tulsarealtorshomes.com/#comment-45 JD Smith Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:02:07 +0000 http://tulsarealtorshomes.com/?page_id=2#comment-45 Thanks for your comment on MLS information and I agree with you...somewhat! I do agree that sellers can sell their own home providing they price it right and advertise in the right place. Buyers can also purchase a home they find on these FSBO sites, however, the biggest percentage of buyers searching FSBO homes cannot qualify to purchase. Why do I know this? I use to own the exclusive rights to homesbyowner for tulsa area and had 4 years to realize this. Here's more explanation. If a realtors buyer services are FREE to the buyer and a realtor has much more access to more properties then thats why the buyers use us. The buyers who dont qualify are the ones we won't work with. Where do they end up? You guessed it, searching FSBO sites because they assume that the FSBO might just carry the note. Most of the buyers I dealt with thought for sale by owner meant owner finance and they still think that. #2 I would much rather advertise my home to 4000 realtors who may have 3 to 4 buyers working with them then to submit to dozens of websites that only 5% of the world actually look at. You see, MLS gets you realtor.com (which is #1) and once listed on the mls and realtor.com, our listings are already connected to over 50 some major websites throughout the globe. Not minor sites like FSBO...but major sites like yahoo and google which also connect us to several dozen more per piece. On mls our sellers disclosures are automatically downloaded and easy access is a true benefit...also with so many homes on the market right now, why would a realtor even waste time showing a FSBO home. No need to. In a sellers market, yes, but in our present day buyers market...I haven't needed to show a fsbo home in 2 years because everything I need is right there on my mls. And let me ask you this...politely. Why would you waste time advertising a home on a site that only 5% of the world ever looks at? I choose to focus on the major sites that homeowners don't have access to because that's where 95% of the buyers hang out...not to mention these are smart buyers who usually qualify because they learn this information on these SMART sites. Remember my friend...inexpensive and free usually return the same investment...very little. Thanks so much for your comment and if you need any more advice on fsbo listings for Florida just send me a personal email. I know ways of getting homes listed on many more sites through syndication. If you're gonna use free and inexpensive...you better have about 50 or 60 of these sites in order to benefit in pale comparison to mls.

I chose to list mine with Central Florida For Sale By Owner (www.CFLfsbo.com). Some seem to think MLS listing is the correct way to go, but I think that is an old way to sell a home. In fact, I can no longer see a use for expensive MLS listings or realtors this day-in-age. Most buyers look on the internet first before ever even contacting a realty company. When and if they DO contact a realtor, they use the internet. So why not cut out the expenses and middle men and list on inexpensive or free websites? Just my two cents. Hope this helps people!
