79: Summer FSBO Checklist: What to Fix, Feature, and Forget

In episode 79 of the For Sale By Owner Podcast, also known as the FSBO Smarts Podcast, host Steve Klein shares the ultimate summer FSBO checklist to help you sell smarter this season. From quick fixes that build buyer confidence to features that highlight your home’s best assets, you’ll discover exactly what to prioritize—and what you can skip.

Key Topics Covered:
 ☀️ Repairs worth tackling before showings (curb appeal, small fixes, HVAC)
 🌿 Features to showcase like natural light, outdoor living, and energy savings
 🚫 Common “to-dos” you can ignore without hurting your sale

Action Items:

• Focus on visible, comfort-related fixes instead of full remodels
• Highlight outdoor spaces and summer-friendly features in marketing
• Skip unnecessary overhauls, deep discounts, or HGTV-level staging

Selling in summer doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. By focusing on what really matters, you’ll stay ahead of 90% of sellers—and keep control of your FSBO journey.
