I’m a little slow to introduce “my bad indie self” (been a member since 7/2007 and now it’s 10/2007).
My business partner and I just launched a new For Sale By Owner (FSBO) service for the state of Washington (with plans of expanding to other states). I’m so excited about this new venture. The current slumped real estate market should provide the perfect conditions for this business to take off and soar. We can save sellers thousands of dollars in expensive agent commissions; potentially enough to offset lower home values and slowing appreciation rates. I am a huge advocate for retaining as much money or equity as possible and want to share my real estate expertise with those who feel the same!
Check out my profile for a short list of the services we provide to sellers.
The business is fully operational now, as of October 1, 2007, but my goal is to have this business completely off the ground by January, 2008. This means that we need at least 10 clients per month to pay all business and personal living expenses. To meet this goal, we are recruiting referral partners for our Networking Advertising Program, networking like crazy on Biznik (and maybe soon LinkedIn), and posting flyers on community boards. If you can think of other ways we can reach this goal (with little advertising funds), I’m all ears!!!
Since I have been a Biznik member for a few months now, I have to tell you how awesome Biznik is as a remarkable networking service! I’ve met so many cool people who are committed to living their best lives through providing superior products or services and inspiring others to do the same. I highly recommend paying for a Biznik membership, not only for the added benefits, but for supporting the Biznik team to continue doing what they do best: constantly finding ways to improve the site and quality of the networking experience.
