Redfin does not allow a way to upload a FSBO listing directly; however, if your home is posted on  Fizber.com or FSBO.com, we'll be able to show the active listing.

*It will take 48 hours for your listing to show on Redfin. If you’ve posted a listing on one of these two sites and don’t see your listing on Redfin, please contact the customer service team for the site you posted on to make sure everything is working correctly.

What will my FSBO look like?

You may notice that FSBO listings look different than MLS-listed homes, which arn agent represents. Please note that Redfin’s website will not show the following information for FSBO homes due to the data given to us by the FSBO sites we pull from:

• • Unit numbers
  • Open House days and times
  • Property Status Changes
  • Homeowner’s phone numbers (unless advertised in the property description)

*Any homes listed in the last 30 days on the MLS or currently listed on the MLS will NOT show as active on Redfin as per MLS regulations.

Can I list my home on the MLS and as an FSBO?

The simple answer is no. Redfin’s primary data source is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). While Redfin shows FSBOS, our primary data feed from the MLS will override any FSBO listings displaying only the MLS listing.

How do I contact the owner of an FSBO listing?

For Redfin customers, Redfin provides a possible buyer’s agent to represent you to the right of the listing. You can schedule a tour, and our Redfin Agents or a Redfin Partner Agent can contact the owner and help you see the home.

If you are an agent or a buyer looking to contact the homeowner selling the FSBO directly, you must contact the source site for their contact information. The source site is where Redfin received the FSBO listing, and this information can be found on the listing below the "About This Home" section.
