Selling Your Home FSBO? You Don’t Have to Go It Alone!

So, you’ve decided to sell your home For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Here’s the deal—just because you’re going solo doesn’t mean you have to do everything alone. Selling a home is a big deal, and one of the trickiest parts? Making sure your buyer actually has the money to buy it.

That’s where I come in. As a mortgage pro, my job is to help FSBO sellers like you avoid time-wasters, weed out unqualified buyers, and make sure your deal doesn’t fall apart at the last minute. Let’s break it down.

1. Stop Showing Your Home to Lookie-Loos

You know the type—someone messages you saying, “Hey! I’d love to see your house!” but when you ask if they’re pre-approved, they respond with, “Uhh… what’s that?”

Spoiler alert: If they’re not pre-approved, they might not even be able to buy your house. And you don’t have time to play tour guide for people who are just dreaming about homeownership.

Solution: Before you let anyone walk through your front door, send them to get pre-approved first (I just happen to know a great place for that: www.pre-approval.ai).

2. Make Sure Their Financing Won’t Fall Apart Last Minute

Even if a buyer says, “I have a pre-approval letter!” that doesn’t always mean they’re solid. Here’s what could still go wrong:

  • Their credit score suddenly drops because they bought a car the day before closing.

  • Their lender didn’t actually verify their income, and now the loan is denied.

  • The appraisal comes in low, and they have no backup plan.

Solution: I double-check that buyers are truly ready to go. That means looking at real numbers, avoiding last-minute disasters, and keeping deals on track.

3. FSBO + Mortgage Pro = Faster Sales with Fewer Headaches

Selling a home is exciting… until it’s not. Between the paperwork, the negotiations, and making sure the buyer actually gets their loan, it can get messy fast. But with a mortgage expert on your team, you can:

  • Attract pre-approved buyers who are ready to move

  • Skip the financing drama that causes delays

  • Close faster and get to your next adventure sooner

You’ve done the hard part—getting your home ready and listed. Now, let’s make sure it sells to someone who can actually buy it.

4. Ready to Make FSBO a Breeze? Here’s Your Next Step!

Before you let another “maybe” buyer step foot in your house, send them to www.pre-approval.ai to get fully pre-approved.

And if you have any questions about buyer financing, closing costs, or how to make this whole FSBO thing as smooth as possible, I’ve got you covered.
