Sell Faster. Net More. FSBO...it WORKS!

The answer is very clear: We help people buy and sell real estate without paying a commission – period. Unlike other so-called FSBOs and web sites, we are NOT a real estate broker trying to get your “listing,” or a mortgage company looking for loan leads, or a title company looking for title busi-ness. We have one, and only one, objective: the successful sale or purchase of your property. We have active buyers looking to buy.

Our ZERO commission system will work for you like it has for over 20,000 satisfied home sellers since 1996. You, too, can enjoy superior market-ing assistance, customer service and transaction coordination for one low-flat fee. We’ll drive buy-ers to your home with our popular magazine, active web sites, professional yard signs, photo flyers, referrals, retail FSBO stores and seminars. We’re on your side. We’re the good guys, no hidden objectives.

Why Pearson’s FSBO?

Since 1996, Pearson’s For Sale By Owner Services is the KC metro leader in private home sales. Our mission has remained the same: To help peo-ple sell and buy real estate without paying a commission. No hidden agenda, no hidden costs, no brokers, no commission, no kidding.

ABOUT US

We have two convenient retail FSBO Stores (more on the way) full of everything you need to buy or sell with a professional staff of FSBO marketing coaches and licensed real estate brokers.
