Owlsville.com Connects Buyers and Sellers - without a real estate agent

May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- The recently launched website Owlsville.com ushers in a new era for those selling their homes without an agent. Owlsville – an owner listing service and community – connects homeowners and homebuyers in a free, interactive social-network website setting.

Developed by Sarah Pratt, Owlsville meets a need Pratt saw nearly every day during her five years working in real estate: Without a real estate agent, there is no network of buyers available, therefore making selling a home difficult. “That’s what’s missing – that connection,” says Pratt, who was a million-dollar producer during her real-estate agent career. “Some homeowners are very good at marketing their home, but the challenge is having those buyer leads.” For those choosing to buy or sell without an agent, Owlsville is that connection.

Much like a social network or online dating service, sellers nationwide can create a profile of their home online, using pictures and written descriptions – as much or as little as they prefer – and can list open houses or details about the neighborhood. Buyers and renters, too, post descriptions of homes they are looking for. Parties then search for a match in this online community. “Agents have a database of buyers that they’ve met through various marketing efforts,” says Pratt. “This website is a source of buyers for the ‘for sale by owners.’” Since Owlsville is not a brokerage, but a platform for buyers and sellers to connect, successful sales mean saving tens of thousands of dollars in the process without a real estate agent.

While the use of the site is free, Owlsville offers for purchase in-person staging services, advice on marketing your home, HD photography and virtual tours and modern, professional signs to post outside your home. These signs feature QR codes, so Smart Phone users can simply scan to see listing information, eliminating the use of paper flyers, and allowing the seller to see exactly how many people are viewing the home.

For Pratt, the key word to describe Owlsville is “community.” Buyers and sellers are members of the site, take the time to create usable profiles, and are serious about selling or finding a home. “Many people are in the situation where paying for a real estate agent means losing money on their home,” she says. With the free tools at Owlsville.com, both selling and buying a home – and saving money – has never been easier.
