How to Sell Your Home FSBO Using Zillow!

Thinking about selling your home without a real estate agent? You’re not alone. Many homeowners are choosing the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) route to save on commissions and have more control over the process. One of the most powerful tools at your disposal? Zillow.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to sell your home FSBO using Zillow and explain why getting on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) through a flat fee service like Simple Fee Listings, LLC can be a game changer.

What Is FSBO?

FSBO stands for “For Sale By Owner.” It means you’re handling the sale of your home without hiring a traditional real estate agent. You’ll take care of pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork—but you’ll also avoid paying the typical 5-6% listing agent commission.

Why Use Zillow for FSBO?

Zillow.com is one of the most visited real estate websites in the world. Listing your home there can get you in front of millions of potential buyers—without the need for an agent.

Here’s how to list FSBO on Zillow:

    1.    Go to Zillow’s FSBO page (https://www.zillow.com/for-sale-by-owner/).

    2.    Sign in or create a Zillow account.

    3.    Click “Post For Sale by Owner” and enter your property address.

    4.    Fill in your listing details (price, description, photos, etc.).

    5.    Publish your listing—it will appear in Zillow’s FSBO section.

Pros:

    •    Free and easy to use.

    •    Huge audience.

    •    Great for early exposure.

Cons:

    •    FSBO listings don’t get syndicated to other real estate platforms.

    •    Many agents and serious buyers only browse homes on the MLS.

Why You Should Consider the MLS

The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is the gold standard in real estate marketing. It’s what real estate agents use to find homes for their clients. When your property is on the MLS:

    •    It appears on Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites.

    •    It’s visible to thousands of buyer’s agents.

    •    It increases your chances of a faster sale at a better price.

But there’s a catch—only licensed brokers can list on the MLS.
