The Yes You Can! Program

Here’s what you get with Yes You Can!:

What We Don’t Do

Our Customer Support team can’t provide licensed real estate or legal services, but we’re building an international team of licensed, locally experienced, specially trained FSBO System Counselors in communities throughout North America who will be able to provide licensed services to our clients.

We don’t provide Internet advertising but, as noted above, we will refer you to the very best company for that service, at a FSBO System client discount.

Some of our clients with unique or expensive homes, perhaps 20-25% of you, will benefit from listing on the local multiple listing service, and we’ve negotiated a FSBO System client discount for that as well.

And some of you – perhaps 10% or so – may need the services of a local lawyer or real estate professional to prepare a complicated purchase and sale agreement, at a total cost of a few hundred dollars. Of course, if you have a FSBO System Counselor, that’s part of their service.
