Q. I have had a number of real estate agents contact me. What should I do?
A. Be prepared for calls from local agents trying to convince you that you need to list your house with them or to show it to a possible buyer. Just be cautious. One way to avoid confusion is to have your real estate attorney draw up a one time only open-listing agreement. This document should clearly state that you don’t have an exclusive agreement with the agent but that you are willing to pay a fee if the house is sold to a specific buyer that the agent is referring to you. This fee is negotiable and should be included in the agreement.

Q. Can I simultaneously list my property with a real estate agent?
A. No, if you decide to list with a real estate agent please notify us immediately. Send an email to info@lsfsbo.com and we will come out and pick up our signs without a refund.

Q. My house has sold, how do I remove it from the site?
A. Simply login and change your listing status to sold. Alternatively you can also email info@lsfsbo.com and we will remove the listing for you and pickup the sign. Please make sure that all signs are available in your yard for pickup.
