The sale was completely closed on August 31st. This is the first time I used forsalebyownernb.com and it's been a great success beyond my imagination. My advise for other sellers would be to definitely use the service and it'll save you thousands. For people looking for buying a house, please start looking up sites like forsalebyownernb.com and hopefully more transations like mine will reshape the real estate industry to bring the overall cost down and encourage better service.

Please post my message to your site as I saved 4 thousand dollars.

Thank you for making it so easy to sell! Within two days of posting our house on your For sale by Owner web site, we had three very keen buyers. The second responder purchased and the result is that we have a happy buyer and we managed to sell with a minimum of upset. We still continue to receive e-mail asking for our house. Great work! We will, of course recommend FSBO to our friends.

I just wanted to let you know that I was very satisfied with the service you provided in assisting me in selling my home privately. The web site listing, signs and phone answering system all worked very well, in fact I had a buyer for the house within three days! I will continue to recommend your service to both prospective home sellers, and buyers.

This is just a quick note to let you know that we closed the sale of our house today. The people that bought it said they saw it on your site!!

Just writing to let you know that we have successfully sold our property. The sale price was $191,000.If possible, could you please change the website to reflect the fact that it is now sold.

I would really like to thank you for all of your assistance throughout this process. I feel that there is great value for the price you charge. I was able to save huge amounts of money in Real Estate Commissions while at the same time was able to find a purchaser who will fit well in our neighbourhood. I would recommend your service to anyone looking to sell a home ......the system is extremely efficient and professional !

I will be forwarding you a formal letter of thanks as well as recommendation which you could use in the future should any prospective clients ask for such a thing.

We have just sold our home!!! I am absolutely delighted that it only took 6 weeks to sell by listing through you! I shall highly recommend your business to everyone we know. We sold for $140,00.00 which is exactly what we wanted. Our deepest thanks to you, keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for the help in the sale of our house. I would highly recommend using your company to sell a home. It was so easy having people call you, and then to have them "view" our house first on the website. By the time they called us we knew they were interested and we could then ask them the question "do you have a house to sell first"? If the answer was "no" we arranged a time convenient to our lifestyle to have them come in and see our home. It also made it a lot easier being able to talk directly to the person who bought our home, as we quickly were able to negotiate the offer and close the deal. We also enjoy the fact that we have $8000.00 extra dollars in our pocket by selling the house "commission free". Good luck on your company Shawn, its a fantastic idea!

Just a quick note to tell you that we sold our house almost one month to the day from the time we listed on FSBONB. We used the service as follows:

1. Made sure we had lots of pictures and a great text with useful information to put online-FSBONB gave us both.
2. Advertised as follows to create an inexpensive ad: "Fairville (West), 1-1/2 story Bung, 4 BR, Excl. Cond., view at www.forsalebyownernb.com, $105K, call 639-5852 ".
3. Advertised in T-J and Buyers Flyer.
4. Made sure all callers had visited web site first, then told them to drive by property, and if still interested, call back.
5. Ensured that the buyer could buy right away-not pending another sale. This was done to eliminate "tire-kickers".

We feel that FSBONB was the most critical marketing tool we had, and was very cost effective. It is the only way that we could have used the internet as we wished and drove so much traffic to our property for the money we spent-in fact, we couldn't have driven more traffic using any other internet site. Thanks Shawn for providing such an excellent service.

Yes you can put up the "SOLD" sign. The next time I'm up that way I will get the sign for you. Thanks for all your help. If you are ever thinking of selling forsalebyownerNB, my husband I would be very interested in it.

The closing date for the house has been moved UP to June 2, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be OK to put the SOLD sign on the house.

Thanks for all your help. You and your co are great. Good little niche you have there. I got an email from a Real Estate Co. telling me that blaaa blaaa blaaa, and that they were better, etc etc. I disagree. The Real Estate Co's must be/should be worried. This is a small conservative city/province, and it sounds like you have already gained a lot of loyalty, and that is what is takes to gain trust, and once you have that, and maintain it, you are home free. Best of luck with your business Shawn. I tell everyone how great your firm is, and if we are ever looking to sell our house, you'll be the first we would call. Take care, and thanks again MG

Feel free to use my words. I think you guys are great!!

- we are happy to report that our house was sold in just 16 days after being put on your website, compared to 90 days with the Real Estate company with no sale !!!

Also we have $4,000.00 extra in our pocket. Can't beat that !! We have been recommending you and your website whenever anyone mentions selling their house.
