🏡 From FSBO to Sold: What’s Missing
If you’re selling your home yourself and haven’t had any serious buyers (or any showings at all), you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong.
You’ve taken initiative. You’ve put the sign in the yard, maybe even listed it on a few websites. But now it’s been weeks (or months), and nothing’s moving.
So, what’s missing?
A timeless insight from Zig Ziglar reminds us:
“You cannot hit a target you cannot see, and you cannot see a target that you do not have.”
In real-estate terms, that means if you don’t have a clear, data-backed strategy—and the tools to reach your target buyer—your odds of success shrink dramatically.
Here’s how to change that.
🎯 Why FSBOs Without Leads Often Hit a Wall
Selling a home is more than a listing and a sign. Buyers today have options. If your FSBO listing isn’t gaining traction, it’s often due to one (or more) of these gaps:
- Lack of exposure: Is your home being seen where serious buyers are looking?
- Poor positioning: Is the price aligned with market data—or just what you hope to get?
- No buyer pipeline: Are you proactively reaching ready buyers—or just waiting?
- Missing feedback: Are you hearing what buyers think—or flying blind?
🛠️ Tips to Refocus Your FSBO Strategy
- Get a Market Analysis
Don’t guess—get clarity. Request a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from Guidry & Co. to see what similar homes are selling for and what today’s buyers expect in your price range. - Professional Photography & Staging
First impressions happen online. If your photos don’t pop—or if the space doesn’t connect emotionally—you’re missing your shot. - Pre-Qualify Your Buyers
When someone calls, are they ready to buy or just browsing? Partnering with a pro can help you sort the serious from the curious. - Leverage a Buyer Network
Agents often have buyers ready. At Guidry & Co. we market your home not only to the public but directly to our qualified buyer pool. - Build a Better Target
Ask yourself: Who is most likely to buy this home, and how are you reaching them? If you can’t answer that clearly, it’s time to reset.
