Spring is right around the corner, and that means new home inventory is about to hit the real estate market.
If you’re among the homeowners who are thinking about listing your property, then you’ve probably thought about trying to sell your home on your own before turning to a realtor. A new service, whose code name is “StealthFSBO” wants to help you do just that—sell your home, on your terms. (FSBO stands for “for sale by owner.”)
The innovative new service, going by the code name until its official launch, is not like other real estate sites that take a fee from the sale, or direct you to their mortgage company. Rather, it is a site that lists homes that are only “for sale by owner.” That’s it.
While statistics vary, it is estimated that between 10%-30% of real estate transactions are “for sale by owner” listings. However, it’s no secret that many homeowners who have gone this route have not always not received as much traction as realtor-listed homes, and have encountered other pitfalls along the way.
StealthFSBO was founded by Teaneck resident Yehuda Kohn, who spent over 20 years in the mortgage industry and amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience. “We have no vested interest and are not steering sellers and buyers in any particular direction, which allows for a completely transparent process,” Kohn said. With keen insight into the inner workings of the real estate space, he recognized there was a need to enhance people’s experience in the residential marketplace. “We want to empower sellers to be as successful as they can possibly be, and through this platform sellers can do that.”
With StealthFSBO, gone are the days of writing your personal phone number on a “For Sale” sign propped up on your front lawn. The new service has put a screeching halt to unwanted phone calls, at inconvenient times. Instead, sellers receive a “For Sale” sign from StealthFSBO that features a unique QR code, which takes potential and serious buyers directly to the listing. The listing has all the information and visuals, and there’s even a scheduler for sellers to choose the times they are available to speak and book showings.
“There’s a significant portion of the real estate market that would like to sell their homes on their own terms,” Kohn added, “and that’s the segment of the market that we would like to assist in every way possible to make them as successful as possible. We feel that by creating this environment, we are also creating more meaningful opportunities for buyers.”
Right now, home sellers can take advantage of a remarkable opportunity when they decide to list their homes with StealthFSBO. Sellers who sign up now will receive a free virtual tour for their listing and their own custom lawn sign with a unique QR code to post in front of their home.
In fact, Stealth FSBO provides a whole set of tools for sellers to maximize their exposure while still allowing them to retain full autonomy and privacy. All they need to do is take pictures, enter information about the property, and in less than three minutes, they can create a robust, attractive listing that could easily rival any listing seen on other MLS sites. Sellers can place their listings anywhere and there are no obligations, making it very easy for them to share all the relevant information and increase exposure. It is clearly one of the most transparent and effective real estate processes that exists today.
Not sure where to start? StealthFSBO offers a comprehensive step-by-step guide for everything a seller needs to know, from how to declutter a home to staging it for a picture-perfect listing. SteatlthFSBO even has a pricing tool to help homeowners price their homes correctly. In fact, “StealthFSBO” provides a whole arsenal of services for homeowners, giving them the best odds for a successful and lucrative sale, while buyers have a thorough list of properties they would not know about if they only worked exclusively with a realtor.
StealthFSBO will also showcase all the resources home buyers and sellers would possibly need, from mortgage lenders offering the lowest available rates to inspectors, closing attorneys, contractors and much more. Buyers and sellers will have the opportunity to learn about local vendors through honest reviews and an extensive rating system, allowing them to make educated decisions that best meet their needs.
If you’re still wondering if you should try to first sell your home on your own, the answer should be a resounding yes, thanks to StealthFSBO. This incredible service gives you all the tools you could possibly need.
