About one-quarter of people do a FSBO - or For Sale By Owner - these days. If you are doing a FSBO, Clark wants you to know that you are still going to have to pay some money in commission. When a broker or agent brings a buyer to your home, you may have to pay two or three percent. It’s still a deal because normal fees are six or seven percent commission. The problem is that people don’t know your home is on the market. Your home needs to be on the Multiple Listing Service in order for the word to get our there. But that is about to change. There is a new site known as “Iggy’s House” that puts people selling their own homes on the MLS. It’s not available everywhere, but California, Texas, Florida and New York are the big states. In addition, Iggy’s House is available in Oregon, Washington, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Colorado. Clark has no idea what kind of experience you’ll have with Iggy’s House, but he wants you to know about it. It takes a couple of days for your home to appear on the site once you’ve signed up. But it’s worth it. About 70 percent of homes are sold through the MLS.
