For Sale by Owner

For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

Do you want to sell your home on your own terms? Looking to stay in control of the process while maximizing your return? Curious if there’s a way to do it all, but have no idea how? Introducing the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Program from Hoang Realty!

Our FSBO Program gives you the flexibility to take charge while still accessing the tools you need to succeed.

FSBO is a method of selling your home without a listing agent. In this approach, the seller takes on responsibilities that would typically be handled by an agent, such as pricing the home, coordinating showings, and negotiating offers. This gives you full control over how your property is marketed and sold.

One of the biggest advantages of the program is that your property will be listed on the MLS. The MLS, also known as the Maine Listing Service The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is a database used by real estate professionals to share property listings. Once a property is listed on the MLS, it automatically gets pushed to major real estate platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com, significantly increasing visibility and attracting more potential buyers.

Our FSBO Program is designed to support you through that process. You stay in the driver’s seat; our resources help you get the strongest possible outcome. 

Have questions or ready to get started? Contact us at [email protected] or call (207) 622-2222.

FSBO FAQ's

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is a method of selling your home without the involvement of a listing agent. In a FSBO scenario, the seller assumes the responsibilities that would normally fall to their agent, such as pricing the home, marketing the home, arranging showings, and negotiating the deal.

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database designed to facilitate the buying and selling of real estate in the state of Maine. It is an online platform that connects real estate professionals with up-to-date property listings across the state. The MLS allows for the listing, searching, and sharing of property information, and provides a centralized database for residential properties, commercial properties, and land.

No. While you don’t have to pay the Buyer Agent, it is common for the Buyer Agent fee to be used as a negotiation tactic, so do not be surprised if it comes up during negotiations.

According to Maine Law and Regulations in terms of For Sale By Owner programs, you can not receive help from any Real Estate professional. If you are finding that you would like to have the advice that comes with more of a traditional Real Estate selling process, we urge you to reach out and discuss your options with us.

No. According to Maine Law and Regulations in terms of For Sale by Owner programs, we can not provide any kind of service that could be categorized as “advice” for FSBO listings.

To find your eligibility or refund requests, please review the package you purchased and refer to the fine print for details on our refund policy. The policy outlines the conditions for eligibility and any requirements. If you have any questions after reviewing, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

That depends because every listing is different! When you sign the contract, you will be able to select what day your listing will go live. You can choose to select a date a couple of weeks out or even up to a couple of months from the time of signing. This affects when the property will go live on the MLS. 

While the FSBO program allows you a lot of control over the selling process, there are still rules/regulations/laws that you will need to abide by. When there is a change in the status of your property, we need to reflect those changes on the MLS  within a set amount of time and which is why we require 24 hours' notice. After the contract is signed, we are also required to upload the property to the MLS within a set amount of time, so to not incur any fines, you will need to ensure you have turned everything in to us so we can process that for you.

Yes, you do need to have photos on your listing so it stays in accordance with the MLS. Our green package gives you access to a real estate photographer, whom we enlist for all of our traditional listings. If you choose the white package, you will ned to provide your own photos. 

Note: the photos you provide must be owned by you. You can not use photos from another source, such as Google. 

You may upgrade from the white package to the green package after signing for a one-time fee of $500.

You may not downgrade from the green to the white.
