Turn Up Your Speakers and I'll give you a brief overview of our system.

 

Property By Owner™ offers many advantages...

• Sell Faster: Our customers sell about 30% faster than traditional agent listed properties while netting you more profit! 118 days on average compared to 153 days in the MLS. (Agent database - Multiple Listing Service 2006)

• More Profit!: Last year our clients saved an average of $17,647 in commissions! Imagine what an extra $10,000 to $50,000 in your bank account could do for you! This gives you more options! You can put a larger down payment on your next home, consolidate billls, buy a car, take a vacation, or what ever you need the most. ($294,117 average sale price X 6% Commission = $17,647)

• Extensive Marketing : Property By Owner magazine gives your property the broadest exposure of ANY Real Estate Magazine in Northern Colorado. Buyers love real estate magazines. Doesn't it make sense to market your property where buyers actually look for homes? Everyone looks through real estate magazines for properties. The great thing about a print magazine is you can take it with you and look throught it while siting on the couch or at the breakfast table. While newspaper readership is down by 62%, magazine readership has been increasing. This provides your property with the maximum exposure to reach more buyers!

• Internet Marketing: Your property is marketed to potentially hundreds of thousands of buyers each month on top For Sale By Owner websites. Up to 20 photos of your property are displayed in a slide show.

• Complete Help: Our Platinum Marketing Packages include internet and print marketing, signs, brochures, customer support, tele-seminar training course, contract assistance and more. Our All-Inclusive FSBO Platinum Marketing package gives you constant Maximum Exposure 24 hours per day, every day, every week, until your property is SOLD!

• Tele-Seminar Training Course: We have both Live Monthly Tele-seminars and Audio CD Training Courses available to reveal the tips, techniques and strategies for selling Faster for More Net Profit.

• Email Training and Support: We also provide Tips and Techniques by email and answer most questions by email.

• No Commissions: We privide high value, low cost solutions ranging from $395 to $2,195 depending on the Marketing Package you choose.

• Proven System: Tens of Thousands of homes Sold through our system since 1985. No marketing system in Colorado has SOLD more homes 'By Owner' than Property By Owner™! We are the second oldest For Sale By Owner business in America and provide you with decades of expertise!

• Paperwork Preparation: We prepare your Sale Contract usually within one business day and we manage the transaction all the way to the closing table!

• No Hassles: Our services eliminate the guess work, headaches and stress by providing you with a one-stop, cost effective solution for selling your home faster while increasing your bottom line!

• Payment Options: We accept most major credit cards, have payment plans available and even offer options where you can pay at the closing.

• MLS Options: We have several MLS and Broker Assistance Options as well.

• The Ultimate Marketing System: your home will be displayed to hundreds of thousands of potential buyers who are ready, willing and able to purchase. All you need to do is prepare your property, price it right, market it effectively with our photo-marketing system and it WILL sell!

We give you an advantage over your competition.

Heres the thing; most For Sale By Owner sellers are just winging it without a system that provides them the tools to effectively reach potential buyers and they don't know what to do once they get a buyer. What usually ends up happening is the buyer uses an agent to prepare the contract and the seller pays between 3% and 6%... after they lowered their price.

Sellers that are using a full commission agent have to factor the commission into their price and many times are priced too high for the current market.

So what do you do?

Simple! Our system gives you an edge because our marketing package is complete and gives everything you need from marketing advice through preparation of the paperwork. And because our fee is affordable you can price your home competitively.

As you know, more than one out of every three homes are sold without a traditional agent. However, to effectively sell your home as a For-Sale-By-Owner, you have to promote your home directly to home buyers... NOT agents!

Property By Owner™ markets 100% of our listings 100% of the time... directly to buyers! We provide 24/7 (twenty four hours per day / seven days a week) marketing! Try getting that anywhere else and you will not find anyone that provides as comprehensive a package for anywhere close to our low costs!

We can help you to significantly out-perform the efforts of a traditional agent because of our extensive "Turbo Charged" marketing system. Our exclusive multi-media, mass marketing system exposes your property locally, regionally & globally!

 

"I saved thousands of dollars that would have gone to an agent" As a first-time property seller, I was skeptical and nervous about trying to save on commission by not using an agent. I was quite surprised to find that the entire process was so easy and I saved thousands of dollars that would have gone to an agent. Edward T. Bowers

 

"On the market for ONLY 4 DAYS!" My experience with Property By Owner was wonderful! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and very courteous! My house was on the market for only 4 days and I had 6 calls within those few days. What a relief to sell so fast! I saved 6% off the s Angie Anderson

 

"Contract in 12 days... Closed in 9 weeks!" We signed up with Property By Owner on a Friday and had a contract twelve days later and closed nine weeks later! The buyer found our home while giving his father-in-law a tour of Fort Collins. We saved $15,000 in real estate commission. Thank you Vicki Crowhurst

 

Last Year Our Clients Added An Average Of $17,683
More Profit... Is It Time To Fire Your Agent?

 

Imagine yourself sitting at the closing table across from the Buyer...

You take a look at the check the Title Closer just handed you. The check is for your net proceeds from the sale...

The unstoppable smile appears on your face. Wow!

The Commission that would normally be paid to a High Priced Agent is now headed for YOUR bank account!

Selling "by owner" can be EASIER, FASTER and MORE PROFITABLE than you ever thought possible!

FACT: It Takes 96 Months of principal reduction on a 30 year mortgage at 7.5% interest to pay off a 6% Commission!

In 2006 our clients achieved a 43% higher sales result than agents! Our Platinum Marketing clients' success rate was 78% compared to only 51% in the MLS.

The fact is, sellers using an agent have to factor in (pad their price) the 6-7% commission when they price their properties, often pricing their property above fair market value.

When selling through Property By Owner™ you can price your property more competitively, thus selling faster than your competition.

Doesn't it make sense that properly priced homes sell faster? Our seminar course reveals strategies to help you Sell Faster and Net More Money.

Print Advertising vs. Classified Advertising

Property By Owner's Photo-ads Are Far More Effective Than Newspaper Classifieds!

You could decide to do it all yourself without any help from Property By Owner™, but of course you would still need to advertise... somewhere. You could place an advertisement in the newspaper classifieds only to find that most of the calls you get are from agents and investors.

According to an Inman News Report published on July 15, 2003, 11% of buyers surveyed first learned about the home they bought on the internet, up from 8% in 2001. Yard signs accounted for 16% and Newspapers only accounted for about 7% of sales.

• The reason our Marketing is more effective is because we provide photos as well as detailed information about your home to the buyers.

• When a buyer has had the opportunity to see pictures and read details they can determine if your home fits their needs. This makes finding a home easier!

• Our photo-advertising is superior to classifieds where all they see is a few words surrounded by zillions of other classifieds. Photo-ads are spaced evenly, with enough room to see the property, and read the description.

• If you have a busy lifestyle like most working people, then classifieds are too time consuming when searching for a home!

• Magazines have a longer shelf life than a newspaper. While newspapers get disposed of every day, magazines hang around for months and sometimes years!

• Classifieds end up wasting valuable time for both the buyer and seller because there is no filtering. What is filtering? If all you have is a yard sign without brochures there is no filtering. Every buyer must call to get basic information such as the price, square footage, bedrooms, baths, etc. If you have brochures then it will filter out buyers that are not a match for your home.

If you don't want tons of calls that are dead ends and time wasters then you will want your marketing to separate out the true buyers that are looking for a home like you are offering. The more information you provide to the buyers the more filtering that takes place. If you provide enough information then the buyer doesn't waste your time (or theirs) if your home does not fit their requirements.

Photo-advertising provides the high level of filtering you need to find your buyer without wasted calls and dead ends!

The tiny classified ads are so expensive that home sellers write the smallest ad they can for the least amount of money. The cost for running a tiny classified ad for one month is usually more than our entire 3-Month Marketing Package.

Non-descriptive classified ads are not very good at solving the home buyer's need for information. There are no photos so the buyers can't see if the home is even in the ballpark of what they are looking for.

Buyers reading classifieds usually just call to get basic information and an address so they can drive by to see if they like the curb view. Buyers do not want all of this work! They want easy, fast and painless or else they will find an agent to do the work for them!

Worst yet, classifieds only reach a tiny sliver of the mass market of buyers because buyers hate to use them! 70% - 80% of sellers that use this approach give up and list with an agent within 2 to 3 weeks!

Solve The Buyer's Thirst For Information!

If you look through Property By Owner magazine you will see how we solve this problem for the buyer! The magazine is easy to read with photos of the property and critical information in the first line. This allows scanning of photos and important details.

If this information meets their minimum criteria then they can dig deeper and read the rest of the ad. We make the home finding process easy without forcing the buyer to do "windshield time", in other words, getting in to their car and spending hours behind the windshield looking for a home. Who has time for that anymore?

Buyers can look through our Property By Owner magazine or our website (more on integrating the internet in your marketing later...) and see detailed photos and written descriptions providing them with the detailed information they need to find a home. Again, no more wasted "drive time"!

We make it easy for a buyer to find their dream home. By solving the buyer's need for information up-front, we make it easier for you to sell your property!

FSBO Magazine Marketing Secrets

You have probably heard the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words". Our minds can immediately process or evaluate a photo in a fraction of the time it takes to read about what we see in a photo. You can immediately decide if you like or dislike a property just from the photo. Plus our photos-ads catch your buyer's interest better than the written word alone.

• Property By Owner's Photo-ads combine pictures and a generous description of your property to create the most effective advertising for your property!

• Our extensively distributed, "buyer friendly", Property By Owner Magazine, is Colorado's LARGEST Printed Source of FSBO (pronounced Fizbo) listings.

• Property By Owner™ magazine is picked up by Buyers FREE at the entrance/exit doors of hundreds of high traffic locations including all major grocers, Wal-Marts & K-Marts, Sam's Clubs, etc. throughout the Northern Front Range!.

Buyers Are Attracted To Property By Owner Magazine
Like A Magnet!

Have you ever been in the market to buy a car? Let's say you are looking to buy luxury car like a BMW. You can't stop yourself from seeing that particular car (or whichever car you are interested in) everywhere you go! Well the same thing is true when a buyer is looking to buy real estate.

Buyers can't help themselves from zeroing in and picking up our magazine. Our real estate magazine all of a sudden pops out at them as they are entering or leaving a grocery store or retail store and they have to pick one up. Over Forty Thousand (40,000) magazines are picked up each month by active buyers that are in the market to buy a home!

SECRET #1: Foot Traffic!

Major grocers, Wal-mart and K-Mart spend millions of dollars in advertising to get foot traffic into their stores and YOU benefit from this foot traffic because just about everybody goes to these locations on a weekly basis. You get better exposure than even radio or TV could provide for your home. You also benefit because out of those millions of people only the people with an interest in real estate are picking up the magazine. We pay a tremendous amount to participate in the display racks on your behalf but we know this provides your property with unmatched exposure.

We also bulk mail our magazine to out of state subscribers that are interested in Colorado real estate! (These are relocation buyers - read on!)

SECRET #2: Relocation Buyers!

Property By Owner™ is a founding member of the National FSBO Network Association, representing FSBO publication affiliates from around the USA.

The Association's website FSBOnetwork.com is nationally promoted on Google, Yahoo!, and other search engines, and by over 2 Million print copies per month nation-wide, which provides you with thousands of potential relocation buyers each month.

Why does this matter to you? Relocation Buyers!

Readers of the For Sale By Owner affiliate's magazine in North Carolina for example, see the FSBOnetwork.com Association website advertised in their local magazine. If that buyer is interested in moving to Colorado, they can click on the appropriate link on the website and be directed to our site here in Colorado. They then can see photos and written details about your property. These are out of state relocation buyers!

You do the math!

1. 1 Classified Advertisement: 2 columns, 1 x 2 inch @ $1,400 per week X 16 weeks = $22,400!
   
   OR
