Fsbo

Is blogging the future of home sales? Entrepreneur Antony Fizber thinks so. Fizber has just launched his real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site, Fizber.com (http://www.fizber.com), and, in contrast to the masses of FSBO sites out there, Fizber.com provides its clients with blogs to help their home listings gain additional Internet exposure.

“Blogging will play a unique role in the evolution of the real estate industry, because it is the ultimate form of word-of-mouth marketing,” Fizber explained. “At Fizber, we believe the blog is an effective, relevant marketing tool that can sell a house. By blogging about their homes, our sellers generate more interest, thus increasing traffic to their online listings and increasing the chances of selling their property faster. And every homeowner wants a quick and simple house sale.”

Offering six different flat-fee packages for sellers, Fizber.com includes a blog with every plan, including the $69.95 Basic service. Sellers can use their blogs to advertise their FSBO listings, post price changes, communicate with potential buyers, discuss unique features of their homes, and more. Because blogs can easily be syndicated, Fizber.com sellers can gain exponentially more exposure than they would have with a simple online home listing.

Thanks to Fizber.com’s extensive Internet marketing on behalf of sellers, homes listed on Fizber.com generate 650,000 page views each day. Packages range from the Basic, designed for home sellers who just want to get some Internet visibility, to the $795.95 Platinum, which includes a video tour, yard sign, brochures and a brochure dispenser, Fizber.com’s Complete Guide to Buying and Selling a Home, a featured listing on Fizber.com, and MLS submission.

Fizber.com’s design helps attract buyers as well. As on other FSBO sites, Fizber.com visitors can search for homes by address or ZIP code. But thanks to Fizber.com’s integrated map and satellite images, the similarity ends there: Buyers can zoom in from the national level to the street level on a map, satellite or hybrid image, making it possible to check out the neighborhood before setting foot in a house. What’s more, the Fizber.com discussion forum allows buyers and sellers to share best practices and ask questions about buying and selling homes by owner.

“From helping clients find the home of their dreams and locating a moving company to listing their home for sale in a stress-free, hassle-free, pressure-free format, Fizber.com is a complete resource for home buyers and sellers alike,” said Fizber. “The biggest difference between Fizber.com and a real estate agent is price. Our comprehensive service is on par with what most people can expect to receive from a broker, but homeowners save thousands in real estate broker fees when they list with Fizber.com. That’s worth blogging about.”
