The three units at 1551 Filbert that had been advertised on Craigslist as FSBO the past couple weeks are now listed with Sotheby’s. The Craigslist posts (and now the MLS listings) tout, “These units are truly special & will not last!” Well, perhaps just a little longer…
∙ FSBO: 1551 Filbert [SocketSite]
∙ Listing: 1551 Filbert #1 – $769,000 [MLS]
∙ Listing: 1551 Filbert #2 – $729,000 [MLS]
∙ Listing: 1551 Filbert #4 – $749,000 [MLS]
I wonder if they get a better piece of mind paying that hefty sotheby’s commsion. What I don’t understand is why not sell yourself when you have such a decent product; for less then 1K you can post on MLS, produce some marketing pieces, set up special financing, and hold an open house or two.
