Not everybody wants to employ an agent to sell their property. Some people believe they have the available time and skills involved to sell the property themselves. That is certainly their right and in some cases owners have success selling their home privately, others withdraw from the market and many end up selling through an agent.
Many of these private sellers try and market their home privately by advertising in the classified section of their local paper.
Here is a video of one Aussie property owner who crossed the line with his FSBO (For Sale By Owner) advertisement which clearly displayed “No Asians thankyou” at the bottom of the ad. This video is a little old so we do not have A Current Affair or Today Tonight to hunt this man down and create an expose on him but a local tv reporter did take him to task over this racist and illegal comment.
Watch this incredible interview…. You will get a laugh out of it!
At least everybody walked away smiling and shaking hands.
