About Us

We are a local company committed to serving our local community. We have experience both selling properties by owner and working with an agent and have found that selling by owner is a worthwhile way for the seller to get the most out of their property especially the equity they’ve worked so hard to build. We’ve also found that there is a benefit to selling FSBO because you can make specific appointments with buyers and you don’t have to drop everything and leave your home for showings at all hours of the day.

Seventy percent of homebuyers search the Internet for potential homes. The biggest challenge that FSBO Sellers face is having an online presence for their listing. LS FSBO was created to meet this specific need. For a fraction of the cost of hiring an agent, homeowners can list their homes online complete with photos and printable brochures, use our professional sign, and sell their properties in a timely manner. Visit what’s included in your listing for a complete list of services you will receive.

The average real estate commission is seven percent. The average home in the Midwest sells for $175,000. If the homeowner still owes $150,000, they can expect to make $25,000 in equity from the sale of their home.

If you list your home with a realtor who charges seven percent commission, this commission is calculated from the selling price, not the equity.

175,000

- selling price

x 0.07

- % commission

12,250

- commission cost

Your equity just dropped from $ 25,000 to $ 12,750, a full 49 percent and you still have to pay sellers closing costs!

To determine the exact equity for the sale of your home, use our Equity Calculator.

By comparison, if a homeowner chooses to sell FSBO, typically they spend a fraction of the cost of hiring an agent. Here are some typical expenses:
$300 Signs and Advertising
$700 Sellers Closing Costs
$100 Real Estate Attorney (You may choose to have an attorney review your contract before submitting it to the title company.)
$0 Realtor Commission

Homeowners are quickly learning that they are completely capable of showing their home, filling out a contract, and taking it to the title company to proceed with paperwork and closing. Homeowners who choose to sell their homes FSBO save thousands of dollars in equity.
