About This Module
Not every FSBO journey goes smoothly, and that's okay. This module teaches you to recognize the warning signs that it might be time to get professional help—whether that's hiring a transaction coordinator, getting negotiation support, or bringing in a full agent. There's no shame in pivoting; the goal is a successful sale.
Most FSBO sellers hit roadblocks at predictable stages. Knowing what to watch for helps you pivot before problems become costly.
