Frequently Asked Questions:

What is SellWisconsinHomes.com?
You can read all about SellWisconsinHomes.com on our WHAT WE DO page. If you have any further questions, please call us at (715)281-0695. If we’re unavailable, we’ll return your call within 24 hours.


What is the difference between selling my home with a realtor and selling my home ‘For Sale by Owner’ with SellWisconsinHomes.com?
Money! Typically, when listing with a realtor, you pay around 6% of the selling price of your home to your realtor as commission. When you choose to sell your home ‘For Sale By Owner’ and advertise with SellWisconsinHomes.com, you avoid high commission fees and retain control of the selling process.


Does SellWisconsinHomes.com offer legal advice or help with the paperwork involved in selling my home?
SellWisconsinHomes.com is an advertising service only and is not involved in any discussions, negotiations, or legal aspects of selling your home. Also, we don’t offer assistance in or advice on matters that require the knowledge, skills, or training of a licensed realtor, broker, or real estate attorney. After talking with many people who have sold their home ‘For Sale By Owner,’ we recommend you hire an experienced, flat fee attorney or mortgage company to help you with the legal aspects and paperwork involved in selling your home.


What is included with a listing?
You can see the full details about what is included with our listings on our LIST YOUR HOME page. If you have any further questions, please call (715)281-0695. If we’re unavailable, we’ll return your call within 24 hours. 


Where do you advertise SellWisconsinHomes.com?
An extensive 2006 survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) found that most home buyers begin their home search on the internet.  Our personal experience and FSBO research have also found this to be true.  Therefore, this is where we target most of our advertising.  SellWisconsinHomes.com has partnered with Google, HomesByOwner, Oodle, Vast, ByOwnerMLS, and other relevant online real estate sources. As a result, when conudcting online searches for many common FSBO search phrases, SellWisconsinHomes.com often returns on the first page of (often in the top few!) search results for Wisconsin.

Many homeowners often ask for additional advice on advertising their FSBO property.  Numerous sellers have found success in placing newspaper ads, especially around open house dates. If you choose to do so, we recommend including the web address and listing number of your listing in your newspaper ad (ex. SellWIHomes.com #555); that way you can save money by referring buyers to your online listing for more details/photos instead of paying more for additional lines in your newspaper ad. Also, SellWisconsinHomes.com is happy to list your open house dates/times on both your listing and our Open Houses page. We also recommend posting numerous signs in your neighborhood directing buyers to your property and posting your listing at local businesses.

How much does it cost to list my home on SellWisconsinHomes.com?
Our basic Until-It-Sells package costs a one-time-only fee of $150 (view our SPECIAL PROMOS page for possible sales and discounts). There are no commission charges or other hidden costs, simply a one time listing fee of $150 (or current sale price). We also offer upgrades to our basic package to allow you to fully customize the package to fit your FSBO needs. You can view complete details and prices on our PACKAGES & PRICES page.


Why is there a $75 refundable deposit for the Colonial Upgrade Package ?
Simply put, we need to make sure we get our signposts back! The signposts are expensive. In order to keep the cost of listing low, we reuse our signposts, assuming they are returned to us in good condition. So simply send the signpost back to us with all parts and in good condition, and we’ll gladly send you a $75 check to refund your deposit.


Okay, I’ve mailed you my listing information. Now what?

  1. Wait for an email entitled “online” or a call to tell you your listing is online.  This will let you know your listing has been designed and is now online and available for interested buyers to view 24 hours a day.

  2. Your yard sign(s) should arrive within 7 business days after your listing is available online. Be sure to check your city's regulations for signs when installing your yard sign and directional corner sign.
     
  3. We highly recommend you place some ads in newspapers of your choice from time to time. If you do, many of our customers have found success in including our website address (SellWIHomes.com) and their property's listing number in the ad. The majority of people who call after seeing your newspaper advertisement will likely say they visited your property's online listing as well. Many buyers we have talked to are more likely to pay attention to ads that have websites where they can view the property, and of course it's always great to give your ad that edge. Also, even if you were to spend $100 in advertising, you still save yourself thousands more than if you listed with a realtor.

  4. Be sure to contact us to let us know of any open house dates, price changes, accepted offers, etc. We’ll update your listing for free anytime you like.

  5. Wait for interested buyers to call. Best of luck in selling your home!
