For sale by owner Not on your own
You don't have to list with us to get our help. Brian Mackey and Janelle Hernandez will look at how your home is showing up to buyers, tell you where the price should be, and hand you the same tools we use on our own listings. Free, and no pressure to sign anything.

Plenty of owners sell their own homes. The ones who get stuck usually hit one of these four walls. None of them are about effort.
Exposure
A yard sign and a Marketplace post reach a slice of buyers. Without the MLS, your home misses buyers' agents' searches and the premium Zillow and Homes.com layouts.
Price
Too high and it sits. Too low and you leave money on the table. Recent nearby sales tell the real story, not online estimates.
Buyers
Not every caller can buy. Checking pre-approvals, running showings safely and knowing who's serious takes real time.
Paperwork
The purchase agreement, property disclosure, inspection, appraisal and title all run on deadlines. One missed date can cost you the deal.
Your FSBO toolkit
Ask for any of these. No listing appointment, no contract.
Buyers scroll past in two seconds
Almost every buyer meets your home on a phone screen first. Here's the difference professional photos make, from one of our own listings.
Typical listingThe Method Group
Drag the circle. Same room, same day: the "typical" side is an illustration of a quick phone snapshot; the other side is our photographer's shot from our listing at 2562 Oleander St.
Zillow Showcase + Homes.com
Most listings show up on Zillow and Homes.com as a plain photo strip. Ours show up as the premium version on both. These are screenshots of our live listing at 2562 Oleander St.

What our sellers say
“Our house sat on the market for a year with a different realtor.”
“He arrived at our initial meeting having already done his research on our property and presented a clear plan of action… Despite a challenging market, Brian was successful in selling our house, securing us $5,000 more than our previous, expired offer!”
Sold after a year on the market
“After having bad luck trying to sell our home a few years ago, we knew Brian was the one who would finally get it SOLD.”
“From multiple open houses to top-quality, viral-style videos of our home, he did everything possible to get our house in front of the right buyers. He even took the time to send us a 30-minute breakdown video explaining comps in our area and exactly how we should price our home to stand out.”
That video is your free gift below ↓
“Our property was a challenging sale due to a number of factors. Brian’s expertise, knowledge and marketing strategy resulted in a sale price higher than a number of other realtors we interviewed projected.”
“…a video introduction and tour of the listing. Doing this maximized the audience exposure and kept my house from going dark.”
“From his amazing drone videos to showcase the listing, to personal video updates about the progress/opportunities for the home… You can tell he cares about his clients and what he does.”
Your free video review
Brian and Janelle will record a personal video about your home that you can watch from your couch, whenever it suits you. Keep selling it yourself if you like. No listing appointment, and no obligation.
- What buyers see. An honest look at how your home shows up online right now, and what would make it stand out.
- Where the price should be. What similar homes nearby actually sold for, and how buyers are reacting right now.
- Your options, side by side. What it takes to finish selling it yourself, and what we'd do if you listed, with the net numbers for both.
