📌 Reality Check: Every seller fears their deal falling through—but most don’t realize just how fragile an escrow can be.

Most FSBO transactions fail because sellers aren’t aware of these hidden pitfalls until it’s too late.

1️⃣ Financing Issues – The #1 Deal Killer

🔺 Problem: The buyer’s loan falls through at the last minute.

🔺 Why? Low credit scores, high debt-to-income ratios, or surprise loan denials.

🔺 Without Protection? You wait weeks, only for the buyer to back out and leave you starting over.

✅ Listed Simply's FSBO Protection Service: We verify financing strength upfront & prevent you from wasting time on weak buyers.

2️⃣ Home Inspection Traps – How Buyers Force Price Drops

🔺 Problem: Inspections uncover issues, and buyers demand huge repair credits.

🔺 Without Protection? FSBO sellers often agree to unnecessary repairs out of fear of losing the deal.

✅ Listed Simply's FSBO Protection Service: We negotiate fair terms, push back against unfair demands, and prevent you from overpaying.

3️⃣ Appraisal Shortfalls – Buyers Can Back Out (Or Renegotiate!)

🔺 Problem: The home appraises lower than the contract price.

🔺 Without Protection? The buyer can walk away or force you to lower your price.

✅ FSBO Protection Fix: We prepare negotiation strategies in advance, ensuring you don’t lose money.

4️⃣ Title Issues – A Hidden Time Bomb That Can Delay Closing

🔺 Problem: Liens, unpaid taxes, or ownership disputes can surface during title review.

🔺 Without Protection? You’re left scrambling, with no one to advocate for you.

✅ FSBO Protection Fix: We catch title issues early & coordinate solutions so your deal doesn’t collapse.

5️⃣ Contingency Loopholes – The Silent Deal Destroyer

🔺 Problem: Buyers use contingencies to back out without penalties.

🔺 Without Protection? FSBO sellers often miss key deadlines, allowing buyers to walk away with their deposit.

✅ FSBO Protection Fix: We track & enforce contingency deadlines so buyers don’t string you along.

6️⃣ Buyer or Seller Cold Feet – Avoid Last-Minute Cancellations

🔺 Problem: Either party can back out last-minute, wasting weeks (or months) of effort.

🔺 Without Protection? You lose your momentum, and re-listing can make your home look stale.

✅ FSBO Protection Fix: We lock in terms early & keep both sides engaged to reduce fallout risk.
