I used Greg's direct selling fee-only MLS listing service. Also rented a new digital lock box, sign, and 1-800 number. The service was very good and we sold the home in 58 days. I could not have completed the process successfully without Greg's direct help and involvement. I called him several times and he personally answered the phone and addressed our questions every time. I credit Greg with our successful sale. He is very professional and without question I will use his service again and recommend him to my friends and family!

By Owner Northwest was simple and clear. After interviewing several Realtor's, we did our own comp analysis, using existing information on the Internet and decided that the Realtor's suggested sale price was below the value of the house, even in the distressed market.

Many thanks to By Owner Northwest.

I worked with Greg as a limited representation agent and successfully sold my home FSBO in 2 months. By Owner Advertising and Greg generated 95% of the traffic we received and our buyer. Greg was very helpful in navigating hiccups. He went above and beyond his responsibilities and quickly responded to changes in our ad's status during business hours and on occasion after them.

Anyone thinking of selling FSBO would do well to contact Greg at By Owner Advertising. Zillow.com alone doesn't generate enough traffic but is useful as a secondary tool.

Estimated Savings: $21,250.00

Comments: I had a very pleasant experience using By Owner Advertising. The website was very efficient and provided clear directions to help finalize our the sale of our home. The response time and overall professionalism of the broker was impressive. I would highly recommend working with By Owner Advertising to the D.I.Y. entrepreneur.

Comments: The service you provide has been the best way for me to sell a property. It gets listed on the local MLS and yet provides a way to save money by selling direct to a buyer. I like the flexibility of the method and it has proven effective for me.

Comments: First, we sold the property to a person who responded the day after we listed.  Second, the process of getting listed was much more complicated and continuous than I expected with a lot of back and forth. Third,and most important, Greg and Ronel were responsive and helped me get things right whenever I had a question.

Comments: My decision to select By Owner Advertising was primarily based on their  "professional" product offerings.  MLS listing services are easy to purchase; however one that includes a Realty comparable signs, fliers, and lock boxes is not the norm. And beyond product offerings, Greg and his staff exceeded every one of my expectations throughout the selling process.  I had a unique property which took some time to sell and I received prompt responses and actions when submitting  changes.  Using By Owner Advertising saved me ~$15k!  I'd gladly use their services again.

Comments: Greg and Ronel with By Owner Advertising were just wonderful to work with through our sale.  They really went the extra mile for me as I had a lot of changes to my listing through the process and they were very responsive and helpful with the whole listing process.  I thought it was an incredible value for the service I received.  In this market, it really helped to get a discount when we had to sell our house for such a discount.

Thank you Greg and Ronel, you were great to work with!

Sincerely,

Comments: What I like about your program is the flexibility it provides.  We wanted to sell our home quickly, but didn't want the high cost of using a Realtor.  Your service helped us accomplish our goals.  We had a full price offer within a week of listing, which is unusual in the current market.  Thank you so much!

Comments: I had my house on the market for 3 months and it did not sell. I listed it with By Owner Advertising under their silver package and reduced the price by my agent's commission and had several offers with in 2 weeks. Now my house is sold and because the buyer had no agent I got more cash in pocket then I would have if my agent had sold it even though I lowered the price. I would recommend trying if you don't sell you can always hire a full service agent latter on. The cost is really minimal compared to what you will pay a full service agent.

Comments: We heard about By Owner Advertising from a friend. We listed and sold our house in 25 days! Greg Messick and team provided the necessary tools and support that we needed to sell our own home. Excellent communication and very patient with new sellers. A must if you want to sell your home by owner.

Comments: We were nervous about selling our home on our own, specially in such a tough market, but we had to because we couldn't afford to pay a 6% commission. We sold our home in a little over a month. The service we received on By Owner Advertising made it easy to sell our home. I would recommend them to anyone.

Comments: The folks at By Owner Advertising did a great job helping us sell our property. We had put the place up completely by owner, offering a courtesy to Broker, and got very few calls and inquiries. A week later, we listed it via By Owner Advertising with a low flat fee and immediately had 20+ showings in three days, and our full price buyer made an offer the third day. This is in a "Buyer's Market" with average market times over 50+ days. Greg Messick was extremely helpful and very responsive to our e-mailed questions about how the process works. The website they helped us create was beautiful, and being listed in the MLS made all the difference in this challenging market. If we ever have to sell another house, we'll be sure to use By Owner Advertising again!

Most buyers come from your sign or another realty firm. With by By Owner Advertising.com you get a professional sign, lock box and listing in the MLS service for 1 year for a set fee.

Comments: Hi Greg, Your listing of our home was just what we needed to get qualified buyers interested and looking. We sold our home in two weeks after the listing and had a showing at least once a day and sometimes more... Bill and I definitely recommend your services. Thanks so much !

Comments: Greg's company did exactly what it said it would do. They listed my home on several websites, including the RMLS site. They listed the property on a timely basis and everything on the listing was exactly as I had indicated on the input sheet. Greg's website to develop a home sale flyer was also very helpful. Greg and his office were responsive. When I called or emailed, they got back to me in short order. Good job. We accepted an offer on our home in 20 days after it was listed.

Comments: My fiancee and I both used your service to sell our homes. It was real easy as long as you took the initiative to market your home yourself. For my home, I advertised online on the website and also put ads in the Saturday paper for Sunday open houses etc. My fiancee's house...We marketed similarly...Her house was more attractive and hence we had a lot of traffic...I was pretty up front during the open houses that I was not a Realtor but a personal representative. things went well...My fiancee got more than she was asking... We did deal with a Realtor and hence paid a commission but it was well worth it.

I would recommend this service for people that are comfortable dealing with people, and who are willing to take the initive to do it on your own.

We saved about $16,000 total.

Comments: After doing a lot of research I found that By Owner Advertising.com provided the best value. Our home sold in about 2 months after listing and this service saved us $6500 in Realtor fees and provided the potential to save even more if someone approached us without representation. I would recommend this service and use it again!
