80: FSBO Red Flags: What to Watch Out for When Screening Buyers

In episode 80 of the For Sale By Owner Podcast, also known as the FSBO Smarts Podcast, host Steve Klein uncovers the biggest red flags to watch out for when screening potential buyers. Not everyone who calls or messages is truly serious—some may waste your time, while others may try to take advantage.

Key Topics Covered:
 🚩 Vague questions and “what’s the lowest you’ll go?” calls
 🚩 Too-good-to-be-true cash offers and sight-unseen buyers
 🚩 Aggressive investors, pressure tactics, and suspicious paperwork
 🚩 How to filter out dreamers by requiring proof of funds or pre-approval

Action Items:

• Ask qualifying questions before scheduling showings
• Avoid sharing sensitive financial or legal documents prematurely
• Trust your gut and remember—you control the process

Protect your time, money, and peace of mind by learning how to spot and respond to these red flags before they derail your FSBO sale.
