FSBO: “They Said They’re Paying Cash”

Offer practical help with buyer financing while respecting the homeowner’s decision to sell independently.

In this scenario, you are calling a homeowner advertising their home for sale by owner. They want to avoid paying agent compensation and have started hearing from buyers. You have confirmed the call is permitted under applicable calling rules. Your opportunity is to help them understand what supports a buyer’s claim of being preapproved or paying cash.

The intention is to help your contact identify what they need to learn about a buyer’s financial readiness and determine whether they welcome further help from you.
