HAVEN Realtors

Well, we decided to look - always curious! - and see what that website looks like. �The website opened with the 5th try. After typing in a zip code of the area we know very well, we opened a list of properties many of which had been simply copy-pasted from… other FSBO websites. Some featured “listings” were 2-3 years old and some homes - please, don’t laugh - had been actually foreclosed on. No need to mention that many, if not most, listings didn’t even have a photo.

But that wasn’t what really puzzled us (hey, the more FSBO sites compete, the more you, dear consumer, win. Or lose :)). The thing was in the properties’ description (same for all homes): it looked like whoever wrote it was having problems with English. Check it out:  If you like this house, call its owner by telephone or leave him message. With him (never mind that some owners are actually women - HR) you may on all agree. Without go-betweens. Without comission(spelling unchanged – HR).

Further, you were invited to send the selected home owner an email and - oops! - no email address provided. Hmm, is this what outsourcing in FSBO marketing looks like? We decided to check who owns this brilliant “no go-betweens” website. And bingo! If you want to sell your home FSBO, don’t want to offer any commission to “greedy agents” and, most important, want to wait a few years, then go no further than… Penza, Russia!

Here is your best FSBO marketing friend who, no doubt, will do a better job from Russia than any local agent in your neighborhood:

Just don’t forget to call him to sign up although before you do that, you might want to check your international call rates with your phone company: they’re not big on collect calls in Russia.
