About Us For Sale By Owner

In 1980, Consumer Publishing Group in Cape Coral, Florida, identified a need by individuals attempting to sell their homes themselves, for a more effective and efficient vehicle to advertise the sale of their property. As a result, on October 15,1983, the first issue of FOR SALE BY OWNER magazine hit the streets in Lee County, Florida. The success of the magazine over the ensuing years has proven the need in the marketplace for this type of advertising for savvy consumers attempting to sell their own property.

FOR SALE BY OWNER magazines were seen in cities and towns around the country. The magazine was very successful, but times have changed. With the advent and availabilty of desktop publishing, and the Internet, two things resulted. First, the homeowner, attempting to market his property, could now reach a much wider audience with a great deal more information than is provided through the FSBO magazine or the local newspaper's 3-line classified ad. Secondly an internet listing, with color photos and all the details regarding the property, can be more informative and cost effective to run.

As a result, in the summer of 1996, FOR SALE BY OWNER magazine became "FSBO-PROPERTIES.COM. With the For Sale By Owner Properties website, homeowners across southwest Florida could now have their home, in full color with all the amenities listed, seen across the street, across the town, across the state, across the country, across the world. This local, as well as national and international exposure, provides these property sellers with a significantly larger audience, in a very cost-effective manner.

This original concept has, for all the years since its inception, helped untold numbers of property sellers reach their goal of marketing their properties without the cost of using traditional real estate sales organizations. Fsbo-Properties Inc, gives home owners with the desire to sell their own property a great tool to realize their goals.
