For Sale By Owner Advertising

[Evan J.]

If I or my company has a property that I'd like to sell as FSBO, do the signs have to state "For Sale By Owner"? If I had an active license (I don't because I don't do sales) I'd advertise it as "Owner/Agent", but I'm not sure what to do in this situation.

The property I have in mind is located in Virginia.

@Evan J.

as the OWNER of the property, the company can sell as FSBO.

owners who are not brokers, in general, can not fraudulently advertise as someone they are not. but they can make an LLC, make signs that LOOK like broker's signs, as long as there's no claim that they are a broker.

an owner can make their signs in-the-style-of just so long as it does not claim to be an entity other than their own.
