And why wouldn't they!
Expired sellers are ticked off their home didn't sell. The last thing they want is to go through all of those showings again, or have to fix the items that caused their last deal to drop out. For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sellers are often eager when they first list, and they're excited to hear from agents who respect their choice to try selling independently. However, 92% of FSBOs eventually end up listing with an agent. This statistic means there's a tremendous opportunity for you to win their business—especially if you approach with the right strategy.
Weekly Follow-Up Is Key, But Timing Matters
While many agents call FSBOs the first week their listing appears, the most critical period, or "red zone," is weeks 3-6. During this time, FSBO sellers are more open to professional help if they haven't yet sold their home. A successful FSBO follow-up system involves weekly contact through a blend of drip emails, texts, and personal calls. Consistency is key, and by staying top of mind, you'll have a great chance of securing the listing—potentially one in every three FSBOs you approach.
Crafting Your First Touchpoint
The first time you contact a FSBO seller, make a memorable impression by complimenting their home and validating their efforts: “You have a fantastic home, and there’s no reason you can’t sell it on your own.” This isn’t the typical agent pitch, and it shows respect for their choice, building rapport that helps keep the door open for future conversations.
Present Your Offer as a "Back Pocket" Option
While you may hear a “no” early on, suggest they keep your cash offer “in their back pocket,” just in case they don’t find a buyer on their own. This approach keeps the conversation light while setting the stage for future follow-ups. When they’re ready for more help, your respectful persistence will stand out against others who pushed too hard too fast.
The Power of Consistency
The magic formula is consistency: by following up thoughtfully each week, you’ll be the agent they turn to when they decide to list. Buck the standard scripts, add value in each interaction, and stay in the game. In a matter of weeks, you’ll start converting FSBO leads into listings, simply by standing out from the crowd.
