Why 90% of FSBOs Fail (And How to Be the 10%) w/ Tim Street

Tim Street reverse-engineered the entire FSBO process into a 7-day blueprint — and his sellers get 102% of list price while saving $30K or more.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Tim Street, Marine-turned-real estate agent-turned-FSBO educator, to break down one of the most misunderstood niches in real estate.

Tim covers:

1. Why 90%+ of FSBOs fail — and why the ones that succeed still sell for 11% less than agent-listed homes
2. The 3-phase system: Prep & Protect, Price & Promote, Sell & Secure
3. Strategic underpricing — how Tim achieved a 102.3% list-to-sold ratio by creating competition
4. The "chaos in the driveway" open house strategy that forces buyers to write offers on their steering wheels
5. Why a pre-listing inspection is the single most powerful move a FSBO can make before going live
6. The "truth package" that takes all negotiating ammo away from buyers
7. His 90-day sell guarantee — and the operational safeguard behind it
8. Why he quit the listing game cold after watching a retired couple get lied to for a $500K promise on a $400K house
9. How he uses Claude for narrative script writing and ChatGPT for operations
10. His custom Hemingway-inspired GPT that writes listing descriptions buyers actually read
11. Why 24 touches across 3 platforms is the real follow-up standard — not 6

This episode is for:

1. Real estate investors who want to understand the FSBO seller mindset
2. Homeowners tired of paying 3–6% commissions
3. Agents who want to stop losing listings to overpriced competitors
4. Anyone building a follow-up system around a skeptical, DIY-first audience
