Why we created our
Intense For Sale by Owner Program

Can we have a candid conversation? You have every right to sell your home yourself!  The press loves to sensationalize the relationship between the For Sale by Owner and the Realtor® community as just another way of selling newspapers.  Wouldn't you agree?   
 
The Intensity Team understands that there are many reasons why a homeowner, like yourself, should, would and/or could sell their home without our help.  It might be financially based (not enough equity to pay for our services), competency based (you have the time, tenacity, marketing skills to be successful on your own) or relationship based (you had a terrible transaction with a Realtor® in the past) and see no value in working with us.  Whatever your motivation to try and sell you're home yourself we wish you all the best!  

Something else we understand: statistically speaking, there's a high probablility you may decide to work with a Realtor® at some point in the future.  For this reason we've made a conscious decision to work cooperatively with the For Sale by Owner in what we call a "Win-Win" relationship by offering some of the marketing services used on our full service listings. We do this not as your agent and not for compensation, but in return for the marketing opportunity associated with your home. The benefit to you is that you get additional exposure for your home with some added benefits.  In return, we get the opportunity to work with buyers that are not working with another Realtor® and are not interested in purchasing your home...we leave those to you!
 
So, read on as we explain the opportunity available to you through our Intense For Sale by Owner Program. While we can never predict whether you’ll be successful in selling your home yourself, we do wish to cooperate in a way that offers benefits to both you and us. The Intensity Team is passionate about creating goodwill with For Sale by Owners in the hope that a potential long-term relationship is worth more than a single, short-term transaction.
 
We look forward to the opportunity to serve your needs!

Intense For Sale by Owner Program (Cooperative Marketing Options)
 

Interactive Voice Recording (IVR Tracking System):  The IVR system is generally the most important part of what we can offer for several reasons:

  • It’s FREE!

  • It markets your property 24/7/365

  • It protects your personal phone number from unwanted callers

  • It screens callers filtering out the non-serious buyers

  • It saves you money by tracking what media is really attracting buyers
The IVR System consists of an 800 phone service that allows us to market your home to potential buyers 24/7/365 using a FREE detailed recorded message about your home. The message clearly states that the home is For Sale by Owner and not represented by the Intensity Team and Keller Williams Realty.  It provides highlights of the area, local ammenities, interior and exterior features of your home, pricing and instructions on how to schedule an appointment or receive additional information. Using the 800 number and your assigned extension on ALL marketing materials allows the system to capture each caller’s information and more importantly NEVER MISS ANOTHER CALL! The system immediately sends us a text message with contact information when they hang up. This allows us to follow up immediately with each and every potential buyer. We believe you’ll find that many of the calls you receive to your PERSONAL number will be Realtors®, neighbors, non-serious buyers or telemarketers who waste your time.  Our system screens these calls relieving you of this hassle. Should a buyer want to schedule an appointment, we’ll forward their information to you immediately (unless you want us to pre-qualify them before passing them along so they don't waste your time). We will also provide you a weekly report showing the cumulative calls on your property from each marketing media.  Are you interested in saving money? An additional feature of this system tracks which marketing method (sign, flyer, internet ad, etc) are attracting buyers (continue spending your marketing dollars) and which aren’t (stop wasting your money).

For Sale by Owner Sign (with IVR tracking):  As part of our Intense For Sale by Owner Program, the Intensity Team will provide a For Sale by Owner sign using the Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) 800 number with your assigned property extension.  As mentioned above, there are specific benefits to using this number versus your own PERSONAL phone number.   You can also choose to use your sign and simply put our IVR 800 number and property extension on it. Whichever works for YOU!
  Property Promotion Flyer (with IVR tracking): The Intensity Team will provide a professionally designed flyer for you to take to your local printer or copy yourself. The flyer will include 2-3 photos, basic details (but NEVER the price) and promote your home's assigned IVR extension.  Often times a "drive by" buyer will hop out and grab the flyer out of the box to get information on your property instead of calling the number on the sign (especially if all they want is the price!). On the other hand, you never really know whether a potential buyers took all your flyers or the neighborhood kids it no one ever calls.  The point here is we don't want to provide ALL the information, just enough to wet the buyer's appetite so they call for complete details so we can get a call back number and proactively follow up with each lead.
  Home Business Cards (with IVR tracking): The Intensity Team will provide you a professionally designed business card in sheet form for you to take to your local printer. These are perfect for handing out to all your family, friends and coworkers to promote your home. You never know when one ends up in the hands of the buyer for your home.
  FSBO website promotion:  The Intensity Team maintains a page on our website promoting For Sale by Owner homes for sellers participating in our Intense For Sale by Owner Program. Buyers visiting our website to search for properties in our local Multiple Listing Service will also be able to see your property, inquire about receiving more information and access to your own property recording on our IVR system.

FSBO E-flyer to our buyers: The Intensity Team communicates with buyers in our lead program regularly. This program includes an e-flyer of our current listings and an additional e-flyer listing For Sale by Owner homes, for sellers who participate in our Intense For Sale by Owner Program.
Regular Market Updates:  Wouldn’t it be nice to know what’s going on in your market and with your competition. The Intensity Team will set you up with our Market Snapshot providing you regular updates on new listings, recent sales, average prices, days on market and more.  Best of all, reports are delivered directly to your email as often as you want them delivered.
Residential Property Disclosure Form: Did you know that North Carolina law requires that EVERY home owner of residential property of four units or less to provide all potential buyers a Residential Property Disclosure form?  The Intensity Team will give you this form to complete, make copies of and provide to every potential buyer visiting your home.
