It’s an acronym: For Sale By Owner.
What’s an acronym? Look it up!
Many property owners are choosing “For Sale By Owner” over a traditional full service REALTOR®.
Understandably so…5% of the sale price of your home is a lot of moolah. Did you know you can list your property on MLS® and REALTOR.ca with our Brokerage for a small flat fee?
You now have more options than ever!
Other alternatives like Purplebricks (Comfree)and Property Guys will sell you a marketing package for several hundred dollars before you even have the option to buy an MLS® listing. And why not? They have alot of people that have to make money on your listing: Head office, Franchise owner, Listing Brokerage….Beware the “upsell”, you can end up paying well over $1000. Might as well hire a full service realtor!
We don’t have that kind of overhead and can pass the savings onto you!
With our A la Carte Menu you pay only for what you need, check it out:

Do For Sale By Owner listings look different than other MLS® listings on Realtor.ca?
When potential buyers search on REALTOR.ca, your property will appear alongside all the other listings within the same search parameters.
REALTOR.ca is Canada’s most popular Real Estate website and shows MLS® listings from coast to coast. It has a robust search engine and tools that make it easy to quickly find properties. Map searches will show listings instantly by simply zooming and panning where you want to look by geographical location. You can further filter your search parameters to include or exclude features to focus on items on your wish list.
Typically the Listing Brokerages and agents contact information is the only way for your buyer to find out more information about your property or make an appointment to view it. When your Private Sale or Lease is listed with us, we will direct buyers to contact you directly with our customized feature sheet designed specifically for your property. Depending on the device you are using on Realtor.ca, there will be links that redirect the user to this information.
Here are some examples of what these links look like. Serious buyers will always click through to find you:

Do I have to pay commission to the buyer’s agent to sell or lease my property?
This is your option and not mandatory. Buyer’s agents are used to receiving approximately 2.5% of the selling price on most homes, 1/2 month rent for residential leases, or a percentage of commercial space leased. However, it is your choice how much you offer if any.
Some Private Seller’s see the value a buyer’s agent can bring and since your are saving so much by listing with us, you can offer them a higher than average commission to help you get your property sold or leased.
Everything is negotiable, so depending on how good their offer is you can compensate them accordingly.
Other’s want to avoid paying any commission and that’s okay too!
With your Maximum Exposure on REALTOR.ca, buyers will see your property, whether they are working with an agent or not.
Our $199 Flat Fee MLS® Listing Package also includes access to our forms library which includes all blank templates to prepare an Offer to Purchase, make Amendments, Waivers to remove conditions , compensate a buyer’s agent etc.
Have your real estate lawyer ready to review your paperwork.

Kijiji and Craigslist are great places to start when advertising your property For Sale By Owner (FSBO). Both sites are free and you have control of the content and instant gratification. But every time a new ad is posted, yours drops lower until it is no longer visible on the first page. Unless you pay for a bump to the top spot or featured ad on Kijiji, you will have to post a new ad, sometimes several times a day. There is no way to search by map and see all listings in one specific area easily.
REALTOR.ca (MLS.ca) is where serious buyers are looking, whether or not they are using an agent. You can easily search in any area with the map and focus your search further within your specific criteria (waterfront, price,size, etc)

Propertyguys – Compare Other FSBO Sites
There are several companies offering Flat Fee MLS® Listing Services but they differ in many ways. Do your due diligence and compare pricing and what services they are providing and you will be able to make a better decision based on your individual needs.
An educated customer is our best customer!
Purplebricks.com (Formerly ComFree Common Sense Network) currently the largest flat-fee service brokerage is also one of the most expensive. Similar to Propertyguys.com, they require you to purchase a basic package first before you even have the option to purchase an MLS® listing. Their model is to perform more like a full service listing agent in processing phone calls and representing the seller in negotiations. These are very expensive services to add and you will be paying at least $2,000-3,000 or more. Did you know we offer an OFFER ASSIST service for only $499 and lawn signs for only $34.99?
Do your homework!
Property Guys is based in New Brunswick and the average cost of listing with Property Guys is well over $1000 although the price varies depending on how many services a client uses. Unlike Purplebrick they are not a licensed Real Estate Brokerage (like us!) but are currently using My Move Realty to list their customers listings on MLS®. We know from personal experience having listed thousands of properties for their customers that this can create confusion for the customer as their franchise owner deals with the Propertyguys listing and their partner broker handles the MLS® listing.
Similar to Purplebricks, a minimum package must be purchased before you can add an MLS® listing for an additional fee.
Beware the up-sell!
TheRealtyCommission.com offers an A La Carte menu of the same services at a fraction of the cost. You only pay for what you need, without any minimum package fees. An MLS® Listing on REALTOR.ca costs only $199 to list until sold or leased.
Now that’s an incredible value!
