RISMEDIA, April 22, 2008-FSBO.com, a popular global FSBO site, announced plans for its first annual National Open House Day, to be held on May 17 and 18, 2008. The announcement follows the unveiling of significant home seller and buyer features and benefits to the FSBO.com website.

Spring has sprung, spring cleaning is done-it’s the perfect time to sell your home. In the face of increasingly challenging market conditions, home sellers are forced to think more and more outside of the box when it comes to marketing their homes. According to the company, FSBO.com is answering the clarion call for new approaches to this process by galvanizing home sellers and buyers across the country to participate in the first-ever For Sale By Owner National Open House. In recognition of May as “National Prepare to Buy a Home Month,” FSBO.com has set two dates for National Open House Day to give their customers increased flexibility to participate in this grassroots event.

“At a time when most news about the housing market is decidedly grim, our recent research indicates opportunities for significant savings when selling by owner,” said Michael T. Malkasian, president of FSBO.com. “We have always taken great pride in our ability to provide simple yet effective tools that put control of the home selling and buying process into the hands of our customers, and National Open House Day is an extension of that philosophy.”

Updated Website Offers Increased Functionality and Detail

FSBO.com has added a number of upgrades and additions to its cache of easy-to-navigate and effective tools that aid customers in selling, buying and renting properties online. New functionality augments FSBO.com’s existing feature set-ultimately improving customer control.

“We’re extremely proud to introduce improvements on our core services as well as the addition of new and innovative features to our site the same week we announce National Open House Day,” said Malkasian.

New FSBO.com features include:
- Video uploads at no additional charge
- Unlimited photo uploads at no additional charge
- International property listings
- Rental property listings

With its new and improved features and utility, FSBO.com says that it has positioned itself as the go-to Web destination for by-owner real estate properties.
