I received the following email from Peter, in responce to an FSBO ad I have on Craigslist.

"Hi my name is Peter ____ and I'm with _____ Executives. I'm not writing today to see if you'll list your home with me but was hoping that if I were to bring you a buyer, you would pay me a 3% commission.

I would like to place your property in some of my marketing mediums and with your permission get double exposure on your home. Should a potential buyer contact me in regards to your property I'd like to call you and set up a time to show your home.

The information I will need to begin is some fantastic photos of your home, contact info, and as much property information as you can give me. I hope I can be of some service to you and at least bring you a buyer. To date I've helped bring 26 for-sale-by-owner sellers a buyer and look forward to helping you as well.

Sincerely,

Peter "

What advantage does he have in listing my property on his "marketing mediums"--apparently at no cost to me?

What do I need to watch out for, what language is a red flag for me, is this a good deal for me?
If I agree to this with him, and I get the same offer from others agents, can I do the same there?

How do I respond to him to get the best arrangement for me?
Thanks
