  1. Thanks for the a new challenge you have disclosed in your blog post. One thing I would like to comment on is that FSBO interactions are built over time.

By sending them tools, educational products, free reports, and forms, you become the ally. By taking a personal desire for them and their circumstance, you develop a solid network that, on most occasions, pays off as soon as the owners opt with an adviser they know as well as trust — preferably you.
