The rules governing the use of for sale signs are fairly straight forward.  You may not plant a sign that says For Sale By Owner, FSBO or By Owner.  Technically once a home is activated on MLS your home is no longer classified as a For Sale By Owner.  Your listing is marketed under our real estate brokerage name.  Furthermore, if a consumer viewed your home via MLS or partner site, then drove by your property to check out the exterior and neighborhood, a For Sale By Owner sign would most likely confuse them.  Likewise, if an agent scheduled a showing and saw a For Sale By Owner sign when pulling up to your property it could throw them off.  Since perception is extremely important when marketing real estate we have customizable signage for sale.  All signs are high quality double sided corrugated plastic. Just add your phone number and plant it curb-side.  Each sign comes with a galvanized steel ‘H’ lawn stake, 3″ numeric stencils, and a jumbo blue marker.  Priority Shipping ($7.20) is included for $40.00.

Photos are extremely important.  Landscape mode, as opposed to Portrait photos, look best on MLS and real estate partner sites.  Please note the number of allowable photos is subject to change.

Technology has made searching and viewing real estate easy, but making an Offer is a lot more challenging for the average home buyer.  Making an offer can be a daunting task if the Buyer doesn’t have an Agent.  To make it easier we created an online tool to make the process of creating and submitting offers dead simple. We call it the Easy Offer Wizard. It is currently only for Massachusetts and the offer form is based on the GBREB offer form, which is the most widely used offer form in the state.

We developed our Easy Offer Wizard for our flat fee sellers.  When a buyer comes to your home for a showing, just give them a listing sheet along with an offer instruction sheet. We provide both documents. The offer instruction document will give them a web link so they can create and submit a fully compliant Offer to Purchase with all the Contingencies one would expect when offering to buy a home in Massachusetts.

It’s free and a great way to get those prospective buyers over that offer-making hurdle.
