Why FSBO in Sherwood Park often turns into a second job

Private sellers usually do not plan for the full workload: daily follow up, scheduling showings, answering repetitive questions, and negotiating with buyers who do this often. The goal is to reduce noise and guide qualified buyers into clean offers.

Pricing pressure If you start too high, the listing cools off and buyers push harder. The fix is a sold based pricing band plus a clear positioning story.
Lookers and low intent Busy weekends can turn into wasted showings. The fix is screening before showings and clear boundaries on timing and readiness.
Negotiation leverage Bargain hunters expect savings. The fix is proof based negotiation using comps, condition, and terms, not emotion.

Two FSBO inquiry types to watch for

  • Investors and bargain hunters who want to capture the savings they assume you are keeping.
  • Unqualified buyers who cannot close and pivot toward owner financing or unrealistic timelines.
