For sale by owner companies with Gabriola listings

Classified sites where there may be Gabriola listings

When people first started posting their house for sale advertisements on sites like the ones listed below, it was all for sale by owner stuff. Recently realtors have discovered that they can use these sites, too, so now you’ll find a lot of ads placed by them. In other words, if you want only for sale by owner listings, you’ll have to read carefully and wade through a lot of other stuff.

Gabriola listings you won’t find on the internet

I can think of several properties on Gabriola that have home-made for sale signs posted, and it seems to me that the owners do nothing else in terms of marketing. They just wait for somebody to drive by, notice, and make an offer. Since you won’t find these places listed on the internet at all, you might want to explore the parts of the island you like best, and see if anybody’s posted this sort of sign. While you’re exploring, be sure to check the bulletin board outside Village Foods in Folklife Village – sometimes people post announcements there about houses for sale.

Consult paper copies of the Gabriola newspapers, too: The Sounder and the Flying Shingle. People sometimes advertise houses for sale in those papers.

Lawyer-assisted property sales

It’s an awfully good idea to have a lawyer involved in any real estate transaction. Here’s a page I came across that belongs to a Gabriola lawyer:

Disclaimer: I have no experience with this fsbo (‘for sale by owner’ – pronounced "fizbo") approach, so please don’t think I’m recommending that you do sell your own home, or that you don’t. Also, note that I am not a realtor, and I don’t work for any of the ‘for sale by owner’ companies.
