Why should I buy houses for sale by the owner?
You will save a lot of money. Most people are under the impression the realtor's services are free to the buyer. In fact, the seller needs to inflate the prices of his home to accomodate the realtor's fees. By removing the realtor from the picture, you will get much better prices. Buying directly from the owner is also more convenient, easier to do, and saves you tons of time because you are communicating directly with the home owner versus a third party. Communications are faster and more to-the-point.
Why should I sell houses by myself?
You should sell your house yourself because there will be less frustration, you get to set the price, you pocket more money, it's easy, and you ultimately gain more control. When selling by yourself, you don't need to leave the house because a real estate agent wants to showcase it. You know exactly when to expect visitors. Also, you can set your own price and negotiate on your own terms. You also do not have to pay the standard 6% commission fee to the realtor. Just think about how much that 6% comes down to for your house - it's probably within the range of tens of thousands of dollars at the least. All that money should be going in YOUR pocket. It also only takes a few steps on our website to get your house listed. Once it's listed, you just have to sit back and wait for offers. Ultimately, you will also gain complete control. You set the times, price, terms, and you choose how hard you work to get your house sold!
Is it necessary to hire an attorney when selling my house?
A Title Company can handle transactions in most real estate markets in the United States. However, customers usually hire a real estate attorney to oversee the transaction. An attorney can act as an escrow agent, handle down payments and contracts, evaluate complicated situations, and close transactions. Make sure to hire an attorney that specializes in real estate and shop around for the best rates.

Listing a Property
How do I list my home for sale on your website?
First, you need to visit our sales page:

this page. You will be taken to a form asking for information on your home. Submit the form and you should be ready! This process should not take more than 30 minutes.

How often will I be charged?
We only collect a one-time fee. We do not take monthly payments, and we do not take commission.
How often will my advertisement be seen?
We are ranked on search engines for tens of thousands of keywords. We bring in millions of
new visitors every month. Everyday, you will have access to the thousands of fresh visitors looking to buy homes we get from search engines. On top of the amazing traffic, we also offer options to increase your exposure (such as with our "Featured" listing).
How successful are you with selling properties?
As we are not real estate agents, we do not charge our customers a commission once their homes are sold. As such, it is difficult for us to track exact performance. However, we do poll our customers periodically. In most metro regions, our success rates range from 45% to 85%. In most areas, we have roughly the same success rate as full-time real estate agents. As with all real estate, the most important factor is the location. A great house in a great area that is priced correctly will sell quickly; likewise, unattractive homes may have more difficulty. We can guarantee that we work as much as we can to try and attract potential buyers to your advertisement to try and get your home sold in a timely manner.
Do you only allow homes to be listed for sale? What about other types of property?
We allow properties of all types to be listed! From land to commercial property, you can list your property as "for sale by owner" in our database.
I got disconnected before I was able to post my ad! What should I do?
No need to worry! Just re-enter your Paypal transaction ID and you should be taken back to the submission page. We do not deactivate your Paypal transaction ID UNTIL the advertisement is posted. If you have concerns, please use our
contact form.
