GETTING YOUR TEAM TOGETHER
In order to be a successful FSBO, you are going to need some help.
The people you need are the ones that agents automatically use and
have built a relationship with. So, how are you going to step into
an agent’s shoes? There’s no great mystery about it, agents just
like you to think you can’t do it without them.
Stay tuned, and I’ll show you how
easy it really is.

Yourself
Yes, YOU. You are the person who will be coordinating everyone
else’s efforts and making sure everything stays on track You are
going to be using it in the future, so now may be a good time to go
to Office Depot or your local stationery store to buy or make
yourself a “log” book. While you are at it, you will also need to
get a “visitors” book and pick up a couple of inexpensive pens and
clipboards for your showings. Make notes without fail of every
contact you have with anyone concerned with your transaction. This
includes the buyers under contract as well as your team. Date,
record the time and make notes of every conversation in a sequential
order. I can’t stress this enough! You may think I’m being paranoid,
but this is the only way to do it. If something should go wrong with
your deal, your log is your proof. |
