TESTIMONIALSFor Sale By Owner Homes is owned & operated by Creekview Realty The advantages of using your service were very straight forward. First, it allowed us access to the MLS and realtor.com which greatly helped our exposure. We had really wanted to do an owner to owner sale and we were able to do that thanks to your service. I would definitely recommend it to a friend (especially in the New York City area). Working with my broker was easy, and she was very helpful. Using Forsalebyownerhomes.com was the best thing I ever did to sell my house. I think that I am pretty savvy when it comes to Real Estate. I knew the market was terrible and that I was going to have to drop my price to sell, but I listed with a 6% agent anyways. It was listed for over 4 months and didn't go anywhere. Then my friend found your company, and I figured I would try it out. When I told my broker he became so angry with me and said I would never be able to sell the house. He could not have been more wrong. Not only did I sell my house quickly, I sold it for more than I thought I would because I ended up saving over $12,000 by not paying 6% commission. The broker was great, too. He would call me right away and was very responsive. I was able to have total control over my listing. The agents in my community were motivated to sell because they got what they wanted. I would recommend the service to anyone, and I feel sorry for people who do it another way. I still can't believe I only paid $300 for the service I got. My experience with Forsalebyownerhomes.com was great! I was happy with the efficiency and quickness of the process. My Broker was quick with everything, and I sold my house in 5 days. I was so happy with my experience and the broker I decided to list multiple properties using this process. I was able to sell my house within 3 weeks of listing it, even in a down market. My broker was friendly and effective. He answered all of my questions. I would use Forsalebyownerhomes.com again, and I suggest it to my friends all the time. Using Forsalebyownerhomes.com I was able to save quite a bit of money. I was able to handle the showings without any problems. My broker was always responsive, he answered my questions, and he made changes to my listing quickly. I have recommended this service to all my friends and family. The service is so simple and easy. It was exactly as I expected. I was able to sell my home within weeks of listing. I saved some money and I would not have been able to sell my home for more with a traditional 6% agent. I had used the same service before successfully in 2006, and I knew what to expect. The service delivered perfectly as promised. I sold my home for close to full price within 10 days of listing and escrowed in 14 days. I was surprised because the market was so bad. My broker went above and beyond my expectations with his efficiency and quickness. I have told my friends, and they all agree that it is not worth the hassle to use a 6% agent. My experience went well with Forsalebyownerhomes.com. My broker was great about following up with us. I sold my home in under a month, and I will definitely use the same broker and service again. We were very pleased with our for sale by owner listing in the MLS. My mother is a real estate agent and suggested we take this route. Our broker was great, and we were able to save money by handling the paperwork ourselves. By selling with Forsalebyownerhomes.com I was able to work directly with buyers. I handled the showings and because the buyer did not have an agent I saved on the commissions. The service I got from the Forsalebyownerhomes.com broker was better than I would have expected from a full 6% broker. Any time I had a question, he was easy to reach, and if I ever got a voicemail, I got a call back within 15 minutes. The overall service and professionalism was very good, and I would rate it a 9 or a 10. My neighbor listed with Re/Max and was very unhappy. His agent didn't really do much. Another neighbor of mine will be listing his house in about a month, and wants to list with you guys based on what I told him about you. We saved over $13K using Creekview on our last move. Make sure you do everything suggested in the "seller's tips" section, and definitely opt. for the full service representation - John is a real fighter when it comes to getting you the money you deserve (much better than our last "full service" agent). We received several offers in the first couple of days, and sold over our asking price! We were also able to move into our new house before selling our old one thanks to the unbelieveable 2% refund for buyers at closing. Thanks again Creekview. I just wanted to write you a note to thank you for all your help in selling my home. I really enjoyed working with you and your staff throughout this process. Your team is very knowledgeable in the marketplace and that proved to be a huge benefit. I had sold homes prior to this the "conventional" way and paying 6% to do so. I will never make that mistake again! You made things so easy for me especially when dealing with difficult realtors and I was able to save thousands of dollars by utilizing your services. Your help with negotiating my contracts to finalizing the deal made my life so much easier especially since I travel for a living. And, oh by the way, my house happened to sell while I was on the road traveling for business and you minimized the stress in what could have been a very stressful situation. Thanks again for all of your help and service...I truly do appreciate you and your wonderful team at Creekview Realty!!! I will most definitely recommend your services to others looking to sell their home quickly and hassle free. I found out about the $495 listing concept from a friend who buys and sells properties as a business the same as I do. The first property I listed was a condo. In exactly one week after I listed it, John Prell from Creekview Realty brought me an all-cash offer just $2500 under my asking price, to close in 10 days. I accepted that deal, and listed my 2nd condo with John, and that one sold in less than 1 month for full asking price. I listed my house with John Prell on a flat fee basis. It was listed for about a month before a buyer from Florida, who found it on Realtor.com, contacted us directly and made us an offer which we accepted. Since there was no buyer's agent involved, we saved that commission as well. I was willing to pay the 3% to a buyer's agent, but was perfectly happy not to! My experience working with John Prell and Creekview Realty has been great. Our house for sale was in a new neighborhood where we were not only competing against new construction, but a lot of foreclosures in the area. We had used two big name realtors and didn't get many showings and virtually no feedback or guidance. They would tell me that we were competing against a lot of homes in the area. I wanted a showcase listing, but they wouldn't do it. I definitely didn't think they earned their 6%. I knew I could do it better on my own; however, I also knew the importance of the MLS. We went through John Prell's flat fee service and used the showcase listing and showing service and we had numerous showings. Several very interested buyers saw our listing on Realtor.com, but came on their own. We had a contract in under a month and we only paid $1500 (they accepted a reduced rate since the buyers found the house on their own) to the buyers agent in commission. John Prell was very helpful and responsive to my questions. I will never use a traditional Realtor again. Thank you again for your help. I believe the "limited broker" service is the best avenue for people like myself. I will not hesitate to use it again and have already recommended you and your service to others. You provided me with valuable information on your web site as well as responded to my questions in a timely manner. You are the missing link that is an absolute necessity for the "do-it-yourself" person. Obviously I am very happy with the eventual closing and the buyers. No realtors commission on either side and a price within 1.6% of the asking price. I believe my savings when compared to a "full service" broker to be a minimum of $30,000. We did a $495 listing, and had our townhouse sold in a week, which was quicker than we expected. My wife and I went house hunting, and had it narrowed down to 4 houses. John Prell took us to see the 2 we hadn't seen, plus 2 we wanted to look at again. We wrote a contract on the one we were already leaning towards anyway, and John arranged it so that the sale of our townhouse and the purchase of the new house closed the same day at the same title company. He also helped us get our loan done in less than 2 weeks so we could close on time. In the end, it cost us 3% of $113,500 plus $495 to sell our townhouse, and we got 2% of $185,000 as a rebate on the new house, so I look at it as we got our townhouse sold for free. We decided to sell our home via the internet and used John Prell to list it on MLS. His responses to any questions we had or changes we wanted to make to the listing were immediate. He was always available for assistance whenever I called or emailed. My only regret was not knowing that we could have listed with him directly instead of going through the ForSaleByOwner website for his MLS services. All of the forms that we needed were on his website. I know that we will use his services in the future if we decide to move again and have recommended him to several good friends who are considering selling their homes themselves. What do listing real estate agents do for you? Tell you what needs to be done to get your house ready for sale; help you establish a price for your house, advertise in the MLS; negotiate with buyer's agents; manage the closing process. |
