I’ve never understood why other FSBO related websites will not show you the docs they want you to sign unless you pay for the service upfront. After they receive payment, they then give you the docs they want you to sign. This makes no sense to me from the consumer perspective.

With our list now email system, you can download and print out listing docs anytime you wish before paying a penny. There is no obligation whatsoever when you click our list now button. By clicking this button, the only thing you are doing is having our Flat Fee Listing Docs emailed to you. Once you receive them, you can read over them, if you like what you see, fill them out and send them back… if not, throw them away… No questions asked.

If you run into a company that wants your money before they will show you their own listing contract, consider what they may be hiding before paying for their service.
