Give Them Time

Many FSBO marketers (Realtors) have one fatal flaw when they first decide to tackle the for sale by owner market: lack of patience.

9 out of 10 sellers will eventually list with an agent. It’s been this way forever and shows no sign of slowing. So for most, it’s not “if” but “when”. Taking this into consideration, doesn’t it make more sense to shift the sales approach from “sign sign sign” to simply “I’m here when you need me”?

Being in front of the seller as much as possible can be good, as long as you don’t create a negative stigma by being annoying, pushy, etc. Otherwise, let the “fruit” ripen on it’s own and be there for the “harvest”.
