And the Winner Is...

As previously noted, we were selected to represent the "for sale by owner" industry in an online debate held by U.S. News & World Report. We faced off against Jay Thompson, a blogger and real estate broker based in Phoenix.

We debated the topic, "Do You Need an Agent to Sell a House," and U.S. News & World Report asked readers to decide who won. The results? We are proud to report that we captured 66% of the votes, an overwhelming majority that shows that more people are looking to gain independence from using real estate agents. Greg Healy, VP of ForSaleByOwner.com, gave an interview to RealEstateRadioUSA.com on winning the debate. Click here to listen to the interview.

We've been asked to defend our strong showing in yet another upcoming debate on another real estate topic, and we'll keep you posted.
