I have home listed on various FSBO sites.I had realestate pay me a visit last week since we do need to sell,we do have a very low asking price.We were told outlook was bleak and better to sell FSBO banks will not lend.My question,on one site they offered MLS and Realtor.com for $395.
Opinions and is it worth it,will it help at all in selling???
If you put your house in the MLS you should also be offering a sales commission to any estate agent that brings you an offer that you accept. If you don't then the $395 is probably a waste.

Should have added sites have buyers agent welcome at 3 percent.So will these sites be worth the money,still my question???I was willing to list but was told otherwise.
When you mention price point it would be only a willing buyer.We are well below what is for sale simarily in area,what we are offering.

First, what does better to sell FSBO banks will not lend mean? I don't understand anything you're asking here.
Second, why are you asking for professional help from Realtors when you've gone out of your way to rip agents in the past and tell posters to FSBO? Didn't you sell that home last year, or is this another one?

Why the attitude?I am asking general public help,people who have sold FSBO useing Flat Fee service.
Statement Fsbo banks won't lend statement was put to me by realtor who we called to list home.
His exact words were,you are better off going FSBO because banks will not lend money,various factors.The last property I sold was 4 months ago.His office was very active in the last several years.We have purchased and sold with him over the years.
Realestate had the past home for 6 months with only 3 people viewing property,we sold FSBO with around 10 people looking after 2-3 months.
We are selling now to return home to family,we realize we should have done it sooner.

Not lend money to who? Why not? Of course they won't lend to buyers with poor credit, no income. But credit worthy buyers with stable income and a down payment are getting loans.
So if you go FSBO, are you only going to sell to cash buyers (which you could do non-FSBO too)? FSBO does not change lending standards.
You are 100 percent right,at this point he did not want to spend his money to list,he said a credit score of 750 was needed to purchase along with large down payment.Home sales are that bleak.We are going to talk with another realtor.Many,many realtors and offices gone.
We did purchase foreclosure home up north for cash and now in bad situation on selling.
This post was for only one thing,was Flat Fee on MLS worth it as tool in selling.

If sales in your area are 'bleak' as you say or the one agent told you, (and yes lenders did a complete reversal from several years ago) then IMO a flat fee arrangement to get exposure on the MLS would be good - you're offering buyer agent commissions and by being on the MLS would put your home before agents when they're looking for properties for their clients. JMO but having your home on the MLS gives it exposure to agents around the country - not just in your local market.
