From FSBO to Sold

Why Georgia Homeowners Hire the Right Agent (Eventually)
By Georgia brokers Ron & Addison Corbin · The Corbin Real Estate Team

From “I can do this myself” to “Let’s get this done right”

If you’ve tried to sell your Georgia home as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), you already know it’s more than a sign in the yard and a Zillow listing. The calls, the showings, the “tire kickers,” the paperwork, the lowball offers—it adds up fast. Many FSBO sellers reach a point where the question isn’t “Can I do this?” but “Is this really the best way?”

From FSBO to Sold is your no-judgment guide to understanding what went right, what went wrong, and how a professional, Georgia-based strategy can get you to the closing table with less stress and better results.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The real reasons many FSBO listings struggle in today’s Georgia market (and why it’s not because you’re “bad at selling”).
  • How buyers and agents actually find homes—and what you might be missing without full MLS and modern marketing exposure.
  • The hidden costs of going it alone: time, safety, legal risk, and leaving money on the table.
  • What a good agent should really be doing for you: pricing strategy, negotiation, risk management, and contract-to-close problem solving.
  • How to choose the right agent this time (with questions you can ask in any interview).

Who this book is for

This guide is especially helpful if you:

  • Are currently trying to sell your home as a FSBO in Georgia.
  • Recently tried FSBO and didn’t get the offers or traction you hoped for.
  • Are open to hiring an agent—but only if you can clearly see the value and feel confident in the partnership.
  • Want to understand how professionals think about pricing, marketing, and negotiation in our local market.

How to use this book

Use From FSBO to Sold as a filter and a checklist. As you read, highlight the areas where you felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure during your FSBO attempt. Then, when you interview agents, ask specifically how they will handle each of those pain points so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
