Dear Pat,

When we decided to sell our home I looked around and saw lots of houses just sitting. I received a flyer in the mail and called you. You came to my house and took the most beautiful pictures. Your daughter was quick to get the website up and running.

I will not lie that I was nervous but was reassured all the way. We put the signs in the yard and went to the beach. The day after we came home (7 days later) the house sold!!

The lawyer’s office that you provide is great as I had to call them several times and they never seemed to mind. We needed to close in 10 days for the new buyers and they came through. We closed last Friday and it was the most pleasant closing I have ever been to.

Thank you so much as you saved me $28,000!

Mike and Sharon watts

P.S. If I ever sell again this is the only way to go.

This is the second home I have sold with ForSale-ByOwner.com. I have sold both homes within a month of the listing. I believe the ease of using and getting to the marketing information on your web site has contributed to selling both of my homes. There is nothing worse than finding a home on line that is listed with a realtor and having to give your life story just to view the details of the home. Your web site eliminates this frustration. I would always recommend using your web site to sell a home. I sold this home to a couple being relocated from Pennsylvania. They had a realtor that brought them to me, but they had seen the house on the web site as well. I had no trouble with the realtor and even though I did not use your closing attorney everything went smoothly. Thanks again for the help.

I do have to tell you that agents were contacting us 24/7 on trying to list our home with them and I have to tell you, we just "hung in there" because we knew what a great website you guys had. People would even call and make comments on how beautiful our home was and how great the pictures looked. We stuck it out until someone serious enough made us an offer. Also, within 24 hours after our first offer, another offer came in, but they had a contingency and we knew we had to take the non-contingency offer. We have sold 2 of the 3 homes by owner and it works without agents. Keep up the good work and thank you, thank you so much!!!

We had never sold a house before but your services and support helped to facilitate a very pleasant experience. Had a lot of traffic on the website and at the house. Folks saw our success...there are now three ForSale-ByOwner houses in our neighborhood! Loved being able to show the house at our convenience. Awesome experience!

ForSale-ByOwner.com not only saved us those exorbitant commission fees, it afforded us a unique opportunity to showcase our home with minimal effort. We chose no other means of advertising our home for sale, and the listing date to final closing was only nine weeks. We literally had an offer within three days, and repeated interest right up until the home sold. How can you go wrong with that much exposure for such a reasonable investment?

I cannot tell you how much money ForSale-ByOwner.com has saved us. This is the second home we've sold through your advertising and this process has really change my thinking. Selling your own home is not rocket science and I don't foresee any time in the future where I would ever use an agent to sell my house. We've relocated now but I wanted to personally thank you for the friendly service. The one complaint I have is that you don't advertise in Nashville!! :) If there are any potential, "on the fence" customers reading this, dive in and sell your own home. ForSale-ByOwner.com makes it easy AND you save a ton!

I just wanted to say thank you for your service. I received the first call on my house when you were putting the sign in the yard. I wrote the contract 5 days later. The buyers were very excited and so was I. They love the house and we have two new friends. The photos were what sold my house. My husband is a professional photographer and he was very impressed. We will certainly use your service again.

We had a very positive experience with ForSale-ByOwner.com. When Pat came out to take our pictures, he was courteous and professional. We think the quality of the pictures was better than other websites.

Amanda was very efficient, helpful, and friendly. Anytime we asked her to change something on our site, she did so immediately.

We priced our house to sell and received a full price offer. We would encourage people to know the value of their home and set their price accordingly. Do not get discouraged if people give an unreasonable offer. Know your bottom line and stick to it.

Our buyer saw our website from her home in Oregon and sent her mother who lives in Birmingham to our open house. We handled everything through our email on the site.

ForSale-ByOwner.com saved us approximately $20,000 in commissions.

We would use them again and highly recommend them!

The website definitely helped. We sold the house to a girl I work with. She didn't know we were selling and I didn't know she was buying. ForSale-ByOwner.com made the connection for us.

The transaction was extremely smooth. Between the attorney and the mortgage company it was easy to find what we needed, I don't know why anyone uses realtors.

The website helped us tremendously in our sales efforts. Most of our potential buyers looked at the home several times before they came out and looked. The final buyer's husband had only seen the home on the website, but said the pictures were so thorough, he signed the contract before he even saw the home in person!

We used recommended closing attorney Joseph Kreps. He was VERY helpful throughout the entire process, and allowed the closing to go smoothly.

I am pleased to tell you that we had a tremendous amount of interest in the home from the very first week. Within a matter of days, we had a fellow that had only driven past it and seen the pictures on the internet who was extremely interested. Within 10 days of it being on the market, we had a offer/contract for $160,000. Everything has gone really well so far and we are set to close on the 28th of Feb. We have continued to get inquiries regarding the house on a daily basis.

I am looking to buy here in Savannah and have tried to do a lot of my preliminary house shopping on line. I must say that I have not run across any real estate websites that have photos that depict the house as well as yours. Also, my mother who is helping to sell my house, really used the literature and attorney referrals you gave her. Thank you for your service; we were more than pleased with the end results!

The first offer on our house was from a couple from out of state. They were working with a realtor and without seeing the house in person they had the realtor contact us and evaluate the house. The realtor made us an offer on their behalf and a contract was written. The contract was written on August 20th. The couple came down on Sept. 23 to see the house. When asked why our house without seeing it first they said that the pictures sold them. Of course they were unable to sell their house so we listed again as available. We had immediate response as soon as you moved the "under contract" from the site. The couple that is buying the house is local and they said that they had been watching it on the site for weeks and the day that it was put back on the market is when they called that evening.

We have been long time visitors to your website and we are so happy we used you to sell the house. The listing hit the web page on a Thursday. We had a showing Thursday afternoon, many visitors at the open house on Sunday and a contract Monday morning. Four days was more than we could have ever expected. Also, this is the second time this house has sold on ForSale-ByOwner.com. A true example of how great the site is. Thank you for much.

The Web site was the reason the house sold. In fact, the buyers told us that the pictures were so appealing on the Web site that they considered the house even though they did not initially want to live off Highway 280 and probably would not have visited the house if it were only available via a realtor listing or newspaper listing.

There was no realtor involved in the process, and we didn't need one. The process went great without one! I feel that we were able to negotiate a little more on the price since there was no commission to consider, and that benefited both parties!

We were very pleased with the service. The Web site truly makes all the difference. The sign in the yard alone was not enough for us - we really needed those beautiful Web site pictures to entice buyers, and it worked!

We were very pleased by the professional look of the photos of our house and our listing on the website. There were well over 2000 hits on our page, with several hundred coming the first week. Most listing services with real estate agents have less than 10 photos, with questionable quality. We had the benefit of over 20 professional quality photos for potential buyers to review.

We used the office of John Holliman for our closing. John, Cathy, and the rest of the staff made the closing a breeze. We would recommend their services unconditionally.
