Rockford For Sale By Owner

Hi Bob,

This is to inform you that our home,1060, has been sold. We are closing on the 31st of May. Your web sight has brought us three offers on the day we had our first open house.  We had eight parties go thru the house that Saturday which saw the home on the Internet. Your exposure helped to bring buyers to us. We may have not done that well without it. Thanks again for your help and I would recommend you to someone else in need of selling there home on their own.

John Ywanauskas (House 1060)

 

Bob   

Thanks for your help. Please update and add that great word "SOLD" to our listing.  This is the second time we have been able to sell with the help of Rockford FSBO.  Your site has come through for us twice, we took the gamble and decided to sell both of our homes when we got married "By Owner". Our buyer was great, although completely "green" to the surprisingly simple "for sale by owner" process.  Everything worked out great.

Our listing aired on Monday night, we had a couple immediate calls, we signed contracts on Friday night, closed 4 weeks later. Yee Ha!

Pete and Beth Grady - (House 1051)

 

We had a wonderful experience with Rockford for Sale by Owner.  The colorful pictures and additional information on our “personal” site were very helpful and very professional.  It didn’t take long to sell our home at all.  We used Rockford for Sale by Owner to purchase a home, and now we used it to sell a home.  We will definitely refer any one we know to utilize your web site.  It saved us thousands!!!.

Thanks again.

Brad and Velvet Lange (House 1013)

 

Hey Bob!

Just letting you know we received a great offer, with dollars down, and a pending contract until Monday to have our attorney proof it. Looks like it will be done come Monday. Just wanted to update you...FSBO and your website work great. About 6 private showings and 1 open house did the trick. Thanks and we will let you know officially on Monday that it is SOLD so you can post it. Thanks again for your help

Racheal and Andy M. (House 1044)

 

I have closed on my home sale, so you can take it off the site.  I sold my home in 13 days (on Christmas Eve) with no other advertising and the purchasers have subsequently sold their home on your website.

Thank you for your help.

Scot H. Prindiville (House 1006)

 

Bob,

I had great success with Rockford For Sale By Owner.  My showings increased dramatically as soon as I posted it on the site and I sold it within a month to an out of town couple who found it on your site. (California) Thanks for your service.

Debbie Mongan (House 1019)

 

"Your web site beat my expectations. I had a chance to question a few people as they were going through and there wasn't one person that read it in the papers I had advertised in. They were all from your website or drive-by's and saw the sign in the yard. We had 10+ groups go through both Open Houses. I have recommended it to other prospective Sellers."

Gregory & Betty Bradley (House 1025)

 

Bob

Could you please put SOLD on House 983.....BECAUSE.....

I have sold my house YIPPEEEEEEEE!!! I have enclosed a photo of the children and I in front of the house 1 hour before we went to the closing.  The closing went great.  No realtor fees..... Can't ask more than that...Thanks again for everything.  You should be proud of your web site.  I will refer everyone I know to go and check out your web site.  Definitely worth every cent!

Ing Torres (House 983)

 

Thanks for your web site, Bob. It really works! Found a buyer in less than a month!

Dennis James (House 949)

 

Bob, we finally Sold our house and are in our new house. We appreciate all of your assistance in this process and were very pleased with your website and the amount of potential buyers it generated.  Thanks for your promptness in making changes when requested. Your pictures were wonderful and by far the best of any of the FSBO sites.  You can list our house as Sold!

Thanks again,

Brian and Jennifer Cottrell (House 929)

 

Hi Bob,

After listing my home for sale with 2 different realtors, I decided to go with Rockfordfsbo.com on the recommendation of a friend who sold her house right away using it. We had plenty of offers on our house using a realtor, but we couldn't accept the them because the realtors commissions were to high and would cut into our profits. We listed on Rockfordfsbo.com after our contract with our realtor was up, and it sold in 3 days! Plus, we saved over $15,000 in realtors fees! Thanks again!

Robert and Gretchen Shallenberger (House 907 Oregon)

 

Bob,

By being able to put your web site in the newspaper ads we were able to sell our house. Everyone who called us said, "We saw your house on the Internet & we love it". The pictures are very clear & professional.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!  This has been a fun experience.

Richard & Debbie Mickelson (House 880 Winnebago)

 

Bob

Am I ever glad you e-mailed us! We sold our home in 24 hours to very close to asking price and everything went through very smoothly. We have been overwhelmed with responses and are very happy now that we are off the Internet. Many thanks for your help.

Eventually someone came up with full asking price-cash. The first people got a bridge loan right away. We finalized and closed 7/1/04. As an added bonus, we really like whom we sold to and asked and got more than the real estate people were telling us to list for. So all in all we could not be more pleased with your services and we are telling everyone Rockford For Sale By Owner is the way to go!!! Many Thanks.

Sandy and Newell Johnson (House 798 Rockford)

 

We recently sold our Rockford home after listing it on Rockford For Sale By Owner.  We got our first call about an hour after it appeared on the web site.  Showed the house an hour later to the caller and signed papers for the sale later that day.   
Obviously, the web site worked great for us.
Tom Keller (House 805 Rockford)

 

Hi Bob,

We just wanted to thank you for your excellent service. We had our first offer within a week and sold our house in the first month. You were very attentive to our requests. We used no other adverting other than street signs. We would recommend this service to anyone. Not using a realtor allowed us to purchase our selected home. Thanks Again!!!

Doug and Mandy Clayburg (House 925 Rockford)

 

On Friday we closed on our home. I cannot believe it sold in 2 days at asking price. We were very pleased with the web site and your service.

Again, Thank you,

Dale & Cindi Jensen (House 914)

 

Rockford For Sale By Owner is a marketing package THAT WORKS!  I couldn't believe it when my house sold in just one week.  Not only did it sell quickly but I was given all the tools I needed to complete the transaction.  From the lender to the attorney, to the appropriate forms, I had it all at my finger tips.  Allied Home Mortgage even helped me complete the purchase agreement and worked with my buyer, (a first time buyer) to assure that everything went smoothly.  Rockford is fortunate to have this effective and efficient service.  I have sold at least ten houses using Realtors and non Realtors.  This transaction was the easiest and smoothest I have ever encountered. 

Brenda West (House 902 Rockford)

 

Bob
We were very pleased with everything about your web site.  We were pleasantly surprised by the large number of responses we had to our home.  Everyone commented on how great the pictures were and how our home looked exactly like them!  I would highly recommend Rockford For Sale By Owner.

Paul and Kathy Caccamo  (House 835 )

 

My husband and I would highly recommend this website.  Our house received hundreds of hits in just a few short weeks.  We had three different offers within the first month and were able to choose the offer that best suited our needs.  The pictures Bob took were wonderful!  It helped to have so many pictures on the site, because the people who called on the house were truly interested in it.  It helped "weed out" the curious, but not serious buyers.

Lindy & Bruce Daniels (House 795 Rockton)

 

Bob

You can mark our house sold! Wow, what a great way to sell a home. We had a full price offer in less than 10 days and many back up offers. I highly recommend this site to anyone wishing to sell their home. No realtor needed.

Dawn & Jamie L. (House 845 Rockton)

 

Bob,

We're "SOLD"!!  Thanks so much for your service.  You supplied us with so much and were very pleasant to work with.  It was fairly easy to sell our house by ourselves and quite enjoyable to actually meet the people who walked through our house.   We got an offer only five weeks after we put the house on the market.  Our buyers actually made an offer the first time they came through!!  We were pleasantly shocked!

I would definitely go this route again.  Thank you, Bob, and God for everything!!!

The Kramps (House 816 Byron)

 

Bob,

I want to thank you AGAIN for the service you provide with rockfordfsbo.com.  This is the 2nd house we have listed and sold and we continue to recommend this site to friends we know that are selling a home.

It is good to know that a resource like this is available for people who don't mind being involved in the house selling process, not to mention the huge financial savings buy not paying the full 7% realtor commission.    It gives the seller more control in setting viewing times and open houses. The beautiful pictures available on the website are very helpful for buyers. 

Thanks again and we will continue to recommend your service to others!

Kim Phelps (House 749 - Roscoe, IL)

 

Hi Bob,

I had lived in my home for over 22 years before deciding to sell this spring to downsize.  I was dismayed with the high commissions demanded from real estate agents especially when every dollar counts.  I was extremely happy with the Rockford For Sale By Owner process and received my first offer within 4 days of listing.  I was able to find answers to every question I had and even download legal forms for no charge.  I urge everyone who is thinking about selling their home try Rockford For Sale By Owner.  I know they will not be disappointed

Sincerely,
Mary Maxon (House #807)

 

Bob and his website are great, they saved us and our buyers money by not paying high realtor commissions.  He was very nice to deal with and very accommodating and efficient in getting everything done, like the open house banners, reduced price banner, and were able to show our own house to very nice people and found a very nice couple from Peoria who bought our home.  All in perfect timing to find our home, which just hit the market when they looked at it and put in an offer the same day.  Thank God and Bob!!!!!!!!

Ralph & Lynn Miller (House # 732)

 

Bob,

The house sold effectively in about ten days.

I found your service and response to be exceptional. I never imagined a site to have so much traffic. I ended up having one backup offer and another who wanted to give a backup. It was a great experience. Thanks,

Rob Nebergall (House #713)

 

My wife and I had our house sold and the buyers backed out just before closing.  We were upset and needed to sell our house!  We decided to call Bob at rockfordfsbo.com and he was out at our house on a Saturday morning to take some pictures that turned out wonderful.  The very next day we had a call and a nice couple from Chicago saw our house on the web site.  They came to Rockford to look at our house and by the end of the day we had an offer that we were very happy with.  Thanks to Bob and the rockfordfsbo web site, our house sold in one day.  I have been telling my friends about the success we had using this site and would recommend it to anyone trying to sell their home.

Jeff and Melissa Carlson (House # 726)

 

Bob

The house is "SOLD".  Thanks to the website we had a great response.  We have told many people how great our response was and how well this website has worked for us, we will keep passing on your name.  We had an offer at 2 weeks with a contingency and two other couples outbidding that at 3 weeks, we couldn't have asked for more.  Thank you so much again.
Sincerely,
John & Tracey Pozzi  (House # 711)

 

Dear Bob:

You may cancel listing #641. SOLD!

 

The listing on rockfordfsbo.com got our house sold. The buyer had located our property on your web site, called for a showing and made an offer the day after looking at it "live." The buyer noted that the pictures on the web site represented the house "perfectly." We closed on 11/14/03. We are happy and the buyer is happy. Within 30 days of posting the property on your web site we had the offer and accepted. Thank you and good work.

August and Pamela Gentner (House #641) Rockford

p.s. We had many calls from realtors that had seen the property on rockfordfsbo.com and begged us to list the property with them. I know why now - houses on rockfordfsbo.com sell fast.

 

Dear Bob

Just a note to thank you for the service you provided my wife and I in selling our home. I had contacted two Realtors before going on line with Rockford FSBO. Each of them wanted me to lower the price of the home for a quick sale and quick commission in their pockets. After we went on line we received numerous calls from Realtors offering to lower their commission. What does that tell you?  At any rate I set what I believed was a fair price and got it with Rockford FSBO.

We saved nearly $10,000 in Realtor commissions. It was enough to get the house we wanted, pay for the attorney services, and make some physical alterations to our new home. It was a pleasant experience in an otherwise stressful time. Thank you.

Pete (House #503) Rockford

 

Dear Bob,

I just wanted you to know, what a wonderful job you did on our house. The display of the picture was excellent. Truly showed our house in the best light.  We put out about 100 Listing sheets at our sign. Thanks to your pictures, it eliminate a lot of unnecessary showings.

We showed our house to 7 people, of whom 3, where very interested. The third couple came back and bought it.  Our house sold within 10 days. We have recommended you to many of our friends that think of selling their house in the near future.

We saved ourselves a great amount of money.  We wish you further success in your Business.  Thank you so very much

Joe and Margarete Werdan (House #604) Cherry Valley, Illinois.

 

Bob

We had been told from one agent to sell our house for 89,900 and another for 119,000.  We sold the house for 105,000 to a buyer from our first open house.  Saved 7,000 in agent fees as well.  We reached a large market for $109.00 in FSBO fees.  

Thanks,

Andrew Larson (House 547)

 

Fabulous!!!  That's how I feel about the Rockford For Sale By Owner website.   Impeccable and prompt service, beautiful professionally displayed  photos, lots of detailed options, and well used visible site.

I have recommended this service to several friends. My home sold 2 weeks after posting!!!  I'm thrilled!!  What an awesome service and excitement this has been for me.  Thank you very much.

Lora Conrad (House #573)

 

Well here is my "testimony" on this experience...

It's my opinion that this is the only way to sell your home if you plan on selling it on your own. Bob was very quick and efficient in helping me put my house on the Internet. I called him on a Tuesday and he was at my house the next day at 12:30 and the website was up and running by 5:30 that night. I had over 300 hits by 7:30 Thursday morning with a private showing Thursday night. My open house was on that Sunday and by 4:30 we had buyers stating that we would be hearing from them soon.Monday night they came back to put in an offer! They had a house to sell, so they called Bob right away, and he gave them the same professional and quick service that we received. Our website continued to get many hits, and I received many calls even though I put "sale pending" on the house until we closed 7/18/03.

What an easy, professional and inexpensive way to market and sell your home!

Jodee (House #539)

 

Thank you for helping us sell our house. The pictures you took of our house were beautiful. Advertising our home on Rockfordfsbo.com website was a great way to sell our home on our own. We saved more than $7,000.00 by not having to pay commission to an agent!

Almost everyone has access to the Internet.  It's a great way for people who work full time, to look for a house at their convenience. Our buyer was from the Chicago-area.

Your promptness in updating our page on your website is very much appreciated. You're on the ball Bob.  We have recommended your site to everyone who is thinking about selling their home. We would definitely use your services again.

Thanks again for everything Bob...

Dale & Bonnie Hoglund ~ Rockford, IL (House #495)

 

Bob,

Rockford FSBO is the greatest way of selling a home.  We had one open house and we had posted our open house hours on your website from 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM.  The end result was the most people I have ever seen at an open house.  They started coming in at 1:20 and it was after 6:00 when they stopped.  I didn't even have my open house signs up before they started arriving and it was after 6:00 before I found time to take them down.  We were only listed on your website for 11 days before receiving our first offer and the second offer came less than two hours later.  Our first offer was for our asking price.

Thank you for building such a professional organization

Kyle & Carol Bitner (House 572)

 

Bob,

Thanks for your internet service you provided. It allowed us to reach in-town as well as out-of-town people who would not have discovered our house without your service. We had a final acceptable offer on our house in 40 days. We spent approximately $150 between your service and yard signs in order to sell our house and $550 for an attorney to close the deal. We had two open houses, both brought in a lot of people and 90% of them saw our house on the Internet. The buyer of our house was from out of town, who saw the house on the internet, liked the looks of it from the digital pictures you took and sent someone over to look at it for them.

Once again, thank you very much. Your service made selling our house by owner very simple and we saved at least 7% of the sale price without going through a realtor.

Joe & Ann Van Lankvelt (House 496)

 

Our house sold with in 2 weeks after posting it on the website. We received 3 offers in one day from our private showing. This is really remarkable. Had they not seen our house on the website, they would of had no idea this was up for sale. Thank you for providing us with your website. :)
The Edsons (House #504)

 

Thank you for providing such an invaluable service.  Our home sold in less than 24 hours after posting it on your website!  We received a call within six hours of our ad placement from an interested party from Chicago.  They came the next day and bought the home.  We are confident that your website provided our buyer with all the needed information to decide if our home was what they were looking for.  Thank you also for your timeliness in getting our ad posted to the website -- it was literally hours after the pictures were taken, which turned out great!  We saved over $12,000 in realtor costs, and sat down with the prospective buyer over a cup of coffee.  It was a great experience for both of us, and we would definitely recommend your reasonably-priced service to anyone considering selling their own home. 

The Wiers of Cherry Valley (House #502)

 

There's no question - Rockford FSBO was instrumental in bringing prospective buyers to our home.

We received multiple offers on our home through private showings, and with the exception of a few people, all inquiries/showings were the result of what people were able to view on the website.

Thank you, Bob, for providing the community with such a fantastic service, as well as for your expertise and professionalism.

Rockford FSBO = results!

Susan (House #470)

 

Hi Bob,
Our house sold the first week we had it listed on rockfordfsbo.com!! Thanks so much for your professionalism - the ad was great, your photos were outstanding, you responded quickly and professionally to emails, etc. -- we are very pleased and will definitely use rockfordfsbo.com again!
Mark & Bonnie Dzurisin (House #459)

 

Hi Bob,

Thanks again for all your help. Within 2 weeks of placing my ad with you I literally had a crowd of people at the open house. I sold it that day to a very nice young lady with very little effort or expense on my part. I was also very happy with your quick response to my call and promptness to the changes I made to the ad. I was referred to Rockford for Sale By Owner by a gentleman that sold his house in one week. I never expected for that to happen to me and when it did I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be calling you again and sending others your way.

Thanks again,

Judy Cravens (house #452)

 

Bob

When I first put my house on the market, I tried local newspaper ads with limited success and great expense. I heard about www.rockfordfsbo.com from friends who had used your site. Compared to newspaper advertising, your rates are UNBELIEVABLE!!I put a three-page ad on your site for $99.99, and got more advertisement than I ever would have gotten through a newspaper, with color photographs and maps. The buyer found me less than one month after my listing went live, and we just closed last week. Thank you for providing this service! I'd recommend it to anyone!

Beth Strachan (House #436)

 

Bob

This sight brought us a lot of attention, and very good results. I will not hesitate to refer your site to friends selling their home in the future. Thanks for all your help.

Bob Ray (House #421)

 

Bob,

I think this form of advertising was well worth the effort and costs. I had many people contact me referencing the website. I would also like to say it was an excellent place to do research on fair market value. I will definitely sell my next house through rockfordfsbo.com. My home sold in just under 4 months.

Thanks for your help.

Mike Cady (House #371)

 

My wife and I wanted to thank you for your assistance and service with helping us to sell our home.  We just closed this afternoon and saved more than $11,000.00 by not having to pay commission to an agent!  I've already recommended your services to several friends and acquaintances who are considering selling their own homes.  Several people, who made appointments to see our home, mentioned they had already reviewed our home on your website.  I believe that it helped to reduce the number of people who may have wanted to see our home simply out of curiosity.  Most of them seemed genuinely interested in purchasing our home.  In fact, we received four written offers during the weekend we sold our home.  Thanks again for anoutstanding service at an outstanding price!

Charles & Debra Carter (House #389)

 

Our buyers saw our house on the Rockford For Sale By Owner site on the first Monday that it was on.  They came and viewed the house on Tuesday and Wednesday.  They put an offer in on Thursday.  We had to counter-offer, but we got what we wanted.  By Friday we had an agreement and earnest money.  We'll have a contract from the lawyer tomorrow.

It only took 6 days!!  It was definitely worth the $110 to put it on the site.  Our alternative would have been to go through a real estate agent and pay them nearly $6,000.  There's no comparison.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Steve and Julie Lemmons (House 404)

 

We decided to try and sell our home ourselves and another friend who had used Rockford FSBO told us about it.  We thought we'll give it a shot.  Bob came out and took the pictures and within 1 week we were online and getting calls.  Six weeks later we closed.  Bob also shared with us a wealth of knowledge and experience as far as selling by owner.  We wouldn't hesitate to use this again. Thanks Bob!
Steve & Kelly Perry (House 331)

 

Dear Bob,

Thank you again, Rockford FSBO!  Your unique marketing approach helped us sell another home.  The service you provide allows our small business to buy distressed properties, fix them up, and sell them again ourselves.  We really enjoy doing this type of work, but often the profit margin is narrow. It is important to be able to sell the homes ourselves and to get the most for our advertising dollar.  We have found that your website gives us good exposure at a very reasonable price.  
Pam and Rick Hein

HeinDesign (House 334)

 

Bob,

They (the buyers) found the house on the web site and fell in love with it before coming over to go through it!  After the 1st walk-through they said, "We want it and I'll give you your asking price."  It sure was quick and easy.  Thanks again!

Bev (House 345)

 

Hey Bob,

The website worked out even better than I thought it would. We had a lot a people come to our open houses that stated they came through because they saw it on the website and wanted to see it in person. We got a lot of calls from people who wanted to see the house but couldn't come to the open houses so it was nice to have the website to refer them to. We just closed on the house April 12 after only having it on the market for a little over a month. Thanks again.

John and Amy Herlugson (House 310)

 

Bob,

Placing my house on rockfordfsbo.com was a great help in selling my house so fast. The photos you took were great and I started receiving calls on the house the same day the ad was on the site. The ad started on Saturday night, my open house was on Sunday and I had 19 couples go through. About 50% were from the web site. I received 2 offers that Monday and sold the house!! I wish I would have had 2 houses. I will definitely recommend rockfordfsbo.com to friends and family selling their homes. Thanks for you help.

Candy Gregory (House 301)

 

Bob,

The buyer drove by the first week we had it listed, and immediately went to the web site....so that was great.  He immediately gave us an offer, which we accepted and lived happily ever after.   However, since we got an offer right away, we didn't need to run an ad in the paper for open houses or any other advertising, so the only calls we got on our home was from the web site or drivers by.  All in all, I would recommend your site and feel that any interested buyers who can immediately investigate your home, without wasting anybody's time is a valuable service.

Thanks Again!!

Kim (House 296)

 

Rockford FSBO, 
Your website advertising was a real value.  The interior photographs you came out to take were high quality and represented the home beautifully.  We were able to sell our home in about a month.  The buyer saw the FSBO sign in the yard and visited the website before calling us for a showing.  We really appreciated your promptness in getting the page up and running, and we would definitely use your services again. 
Sincerely, 

Pam and Rick Hein (House 279)

 

Bob,

The house sold in 2 1/2 months. Using Rockford FSBO combined with newspaper advertising (using site address) we took over 800 hits, as well as uncountable calls, e-mails, and showings. Thanks.

John Vicari (House 272)

 

Dear Bob,
Our house has sold! We actually accepted an offer 1 week after the website went up. . .she just handed us the commitment letter!

Bob and Yemiko Clinton (House 282)

 

Dear Bob

We sold our house!!! Your website was well worth the investment. Our buyers, who were from Suburban Chicago, saw our listing on www.rockfordfsbo.com , emailed us, set up a walk through, and made us an acceptable offer all within 17 days of listing!!! I would, and have, recommended the site to friends.  Take care and good luck,
Andy and Jean Showers (House 270)

 

Bob, 
I was extremely happy with the services provided by rockfordfsbo.com.  I didn't know if it would help with the sale of my house but found out quickly that it was an easy tool for showings.  People could look at our rooms (your pictures were great) and get a good idea of the house without taking our time. Our house sold because of the advertisement we had on rockfordfsbo.com. Thank you for providing a great service and I will be glad to recommend your website to anyone selling their home.

It works! Jeff & Jeanne Rupp (House 261)

 

Hi Bob: Well you have done it again. I just sold my house thanks to your site. I bought a house through your site and now I have sold my home thanks to your site. Keep up the good work. Please please put the sold sign on house number 250 as soon as you can.

Thanks again Ron Lee (House 250)

Your website was very helpful in selling our home. I have referred your program to others.  It was good advertising at a fair price.

Thanks for all  your help.   
Larry (House 223)

 

Bob,

The fsbo website extended our coverage greatly and we received many calls and emails regarding our listing as a direct result from viewing our online ad with photos. The value of placing the internet add and additional sign in the front yard showing the web address was a nice compliment to our marketing plan for selling our home. We highly recommend this service to anyone selling a home.
Thank you,
Brent & Jennifer Smith (House 216)

 

Bob,

The exposure and the affordability of this web site is a great asset in selling a home on your own.  We were told by many of our visitors that they saw our home on the internet. Thanks.

Maureen Dewey--Rockford (House 171)

 

Dear Bob,

"In a matter of 2 months, the  site had over 350 visitors, and over 50 telephone inquiries.  I will, and have highly recommended this site to anyone wishing to save themselves realty commission charges.  In my estimation, RFSBO is well worth the money, with or without a realtor, it gets results!"

Thanks again Bob.

Charles R. Nelson--Rockford (House 177)

 

Bob:

"Thank you for all your help.  Our historic limestone house ad received more than 200 hits in a month and a half and we sold it within 2 months on Rockfordfsbo.com!  Thanks for all your help!"

Jeff Beck--Rockton (House 141)

 

"Rockfordfsbo.com provided the best return on investment.  My property is both unique and more expensive than the average property listing.  I needed a cost effective way to demonstrate this to the largest audience, as well as a way to retain some profit in the sale.  Rockfordfsbo.com provided the best return on investment in marketing and selling my home.  I used other conventional advertising that was extremely expensive and it brought me 0 response.  All of my qualified leads and my sale came from the web, and rockfordfsbo.com Thank you for making this possible!"

Jan Crawford--Rockford, IL (House #87)

 

Bob,

"We had an offer and sold our house after just 3 weeks of listing our home on the Rockford FSBO site!  Our listing, combined with minimal newspaper advertising to draw to our site, coupled with the Rockford FSBO sign in our front yard directing potential buyers to visit our house on-line made selling our house extremely fast!"   Our buyer visited the web and decided to take a closer look after seeing the photos and features on Rockford FSBO.  We had over 150 visits to our web site in less than 30 days!  Thanks Rockford FSBO!  We found the perfect fit buyer for our home.  Advertising on your web site is a tremendous value"

T. & K. TRIPP-BELVIDERE

 

Bob,

"We are so glad we chose to advertise our home on the internet  through rockfordfsbo.com  The couple who purchased our home are from Iowa. They wouldn't have known about our house if they hadn't seen it on the internet! We sold our house for our asking price and without a realtor!  Now we have a great start for building our new home."
Thank you!
Carrie & Richard Bushman, Rockford (House # 80)

 

Bob,

"Hi!
It's November 26th and we are in our new home today. We sold our home two weeks after we put it on Rockford For Sale By Owner.  Actually, we sold it to the first people who came to see it at our open house.  You'll be glad to know that the people who did actually purchase it saw it on the internet.  Also, they used this service to show relatives out of state the home they purchased.  Thank you for your great work with the pictures, everyone thought they looked great.  Also, thank you for providing a valuable service at such a low cost.  We saved $8,800.00! We continue to tell people of this service." 

Thanks Again!
Jim and Cory Walsh, Rockford

 

"My house was listed for three months before I discovered Rockford FSBO.  The day I called Rockford FSBO Bob came to my house and took photos and within 2 business days my house was listed on the site.  I started getting calls and email right away.  My buyers saw the add on this website and they asked their realtor to give me a call .  Only three weeks after my ad was displayed, I received an offer.  And I received my asking price!!!  Much cheaper than the Rockford newspaper and better results.  I would definitely use this site again."

"Just wanted to let you know we had 5 or 6 parties come through our open house this weekend...it was unadvertised other than on your website!  One couple made a point to tell us that they had seen the house on the website and another gentleman said his wife, who was home visiting family in India, was able to view the house via the Internet and your site!"
Thank you!
Dawn Johnson, Roscoe

 

Dear www.rockfordfsbo.com,

"Advertising my property on your Internet site turned out to be a very wise decision.  The Internet exposed the property to a lot more serious potential buyers than any pervious listing with a realtor."  Our buyer was from the Chicago-area!

"Besides having many details about the property such as sizes of rooms and lot dimensions, there were beautiful color pictures of the outside of the house close-up and at a distance.  The color shots of the interior were also well presented."

"The mortgage calculator was also a large plus."  

"Thank you for providing this low cost useful service."

Sincerely yours,
Dr. Blase M. Leon, Rockford

 

Dear Bob,
"This is a letter to thank you for your website to help those of us who feel that we can sell our own house, but are worried that we can't get enough exposure.  As you probably remember, we sold our house on rockfordfsbo.com in less than one week - 5 days to be exact.  That is how long it took our buyer to find us and within two more months we were at our closing getting a check for the thousands of dollars that would have normally gone to a Realtor.  Our buyer said that your website was easy to read and she had no problems finding her way to each of the houses because she could have an online "tour" with out having to fight  traffic and trying to read street signs.  Once she found our house on rockfordfsbo.com and decided to visit us and the actual house, the directions on your site lead her to our door with out a wrong turn. This website is an important necessity for anyone who would like to sell their own house and keep the money that would normally be a Realtor's commission.  Thank you again and good luck with your site.  We hope that everyone sells their house as quickly as we did - they are definitely headed in that direction by going online with rockfordfsbo.com."

Sincerely,
Sean and Susan Adler, Byron

 

"Thank you for the opportunity to utilize Rockfordfsbo.com.  Marketing our home on the internet was the best exposure to potential buyers.  The "sneak peak" open house with the five pictures shown was like a color brochure bringing the description to life.  We enjoyed the direct contact with potential buyers that called us from numerous states including California, Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Florida, and Texas as well as local prospects.  We also appreciated the quick and professional response to our needs that were provided to us by Bob Kinnison and Rockford fsbo.com."
