Audrie's fsbo blog: April 26, 2008
Our wish for privacy often slows the sale of our homes. Most “Home For Sale” signs neglect to include an asking price: the most important information for the prospective buyer.
Okay, maybe you don’t need to blast your asking price in large red letters; but at a minimum your big yard sign should be accompanied by a box of 8 ½ x 11 inch information flyers that feature your asking price along with pictures and other details about your home.
My daughter recently hosted a 20 year reunion dinner at my house for members of her High School graduating class. I live on a street that ends in a cul-de-sac and Bob, one of the attendees asked me about a house with a “For Sale” sign on the other side of the street near the entrance to our cul-de-sac...

Hi !
Call me Audrie. While a real estate agent in the Atlanta area I met homeowners driven to market their own homes to avoid real estate commissions. At the request of friends, I hosted a seminar for these owners and invited appraisers, attorneys, mortgage brokers and other real estate professionals to come and give advice.
To my surprise, the seminar was packed, and lots of fun. Real estate professionals opened up on how to get top-dollar, and without a nickel to Realtors.
Our six step tutorial was created from that first seminar, but the FSBO network is more like the real thing, ..with lots more sellers and lots more experience to exchange. I'm sure you will find it useful. If you do, pass the word, tell a friend about Audrie.com!
