Fizber.com is Zooming in on Homes for Sale by Owner

FSBO site lets prospective buyers virtually visit new neighborhoods.

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 25, 2007 -- This winter, buyers looking for the perfect home won't have to set foot outside to check out neighborhoods (http://www.fizber.com/neighborhood-info.htm) in some of the nation's hottest real estate markets. That's because leading real estate for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) site Fizber.com has just added Street View (http://www.fizber.com/904052) to its line-up of free services to buyers.

Initially available to those interested in homes in San Francisco (http://www.fizber.com/fsbo-data-base/San-Francisco-city-california-real-estate-fsbo.html), New York, Las Vegas, Miami (http://www.fizber.com/fsbo-data-base/Miami-city-florida-real-estate-fsbo.html) and Denver, Street View allows Fizber.com visitors to see high-quality images of neighborhoods in those cities. As more cities are added to Street View, more Fizber.com listings will feature Street View tours.

"We are proud to announce we are launching a new feature that will further enhance home-buyers' ability to understand unfamiliar neighborhoods through images: Google Maps Street View," explained Fizber.com PR manager Julia Foster. "With Street View, Fizber.com visitors can virtually explore city neighborhoods by viewing and navigating within 360-degree scenes of street-level imagery. It feels as if you're walking down the street, without ever having left the comfort of your current home."

When Fizber.com was launched in July, it was the first FSBO site to offer free blogs to every seller -- an invaluable marketing tool in today's economy. But the company didn't stop there. It has since added a variety of robust features to enhance the home buying and selling experience. Each Fizber.com listing includes a video of the home hosted on YouTube; climate and weather data (http://climate.fizber.com); and map, satellite and hybrid map/satellite images of the home's neighborhood and city.

To help home buyers and sellers navigate the sometimes complicated process of selling or buying a home without a real estate agent, Fizber.com provides a free discussion forum where visitors can trade FSBO buying and selling tips, compare experiences selling on their own as opposed to selling through a real estate agent, answer questions and share expertise about buying and selling homes.

The entire Fizber.com service is free to buyers. Seller packages start at just $69 per month. And, said Foster, Fizber.com continues to add more features--even as package prices stay affordable.

"Here on the Fizber.com team we constantly strive to make high-quality imagery of the world available to our users," Foster said. "Why? Because we know rich, detailed maps and neighborhood details better enable buyers to discover a property's location and evaluate the neighborhood. And that is good for buyers and sellers alike."
