About our Client Statistics
The statistcs set forth above represent the experience of thousands of clients in the Anchorage, Alaska Metropolitan Area since 1995. Anchorage has about 300,000 people in both urban and suburban neighborhoods. Home prices average a little higher than the national norm. Anchorage has a normal real estate market with normal transaction and settlement procedures.
To create this program for delivery over the Internet we spent years researching, expanding and refining the FSBO System program to accommodate real estate practices and market conditions throughout North America. So we believe these client experiences will be replicated with this new Internet program.
The figures above are averages; your specific client experience will undoubtedly vary — specifically, half of you will likely do better and the other half not as well, but even so, you still have a fantastic chance of success with FSBO System!
