How ironic. The founder and former chief operating officer of ForSalebyOwner.com, Colby Sambrotto, recently needed the help of a Realtor to assist him in selling his home. Mr. Sambrotto founded the popular for-sale by owner (FSBO) website, to help homeowners sell their home without the help of a Real Estate Agent. Mr. Sambrotto had troubles finding the right buyer for his 2,000-square-foot, two-bedroom New York condo after it lingered on the market for over six months.He tried to sell the property FSBO by listing it online and through classified ads – but after six months of sitting on the market, he sought the help of a real estate broker.
The agent told Mr. Sambrotto that his condo was priced too low and wasn’t attracting the right buyers. Mr. Sambrotto was hesitant of the price increase but after some consideration agreed to the listing price. The condo soon attracted multiple offers and ended up closing for $150,000 more than the original asking price.
