What Christine does

I help people sell their homes without real estate agents, saving them thousands of dollars. My company is Let's Go Fizbo. We empower you with the marketing tools, information and resources you need to successfully sell your home independently. The end result? We can save you serious money without sacrificing the quality of your service.

Our mission at Let's Go Fizbo is to create a vibrant network of FSBO sellers, buyers, and service providers, so that "going fizbo" becomes a legitimate and attractive option for all of Seattle's do-it-yourselfers.

What Christine does best

Online marketing is where we shine for our clients. Eighty percent of home buyers use the internet to find their next home. We've developed the systems and relationships to maximize exposure for your home online, both locally and nationally.

We're also obsessive about quality and good design.

Finally, we care an awful lot about our role in creating a healthy, just, and sustainable way of life. So we're striving to operate a truly sustainable business. Most of our systems and materials - from our signs to our packaging - are designed for reuse and recycling.

What does Christine need?

At LetsGoFizbo.com, we have a directory of service providers that help our clients with all aspects of the home selling and buying process. If you're a:

> Real estate attorney > Inspector > Appraiser > Home stager > Mortgage broker > Title / escrow specialist > Other flat fee real estate professional

...we want to meet you!

We're also open to other kinds of partnerships and collaborations that can help build a vibrant FSBO network in Seattle. If you have ideas, contact me!

Lastly, we're interested in learning from (and with) other local businesses that want to operate sustainably. What could we be doing better? How can we help each other out? Please get in touch if this interesting to you.

Experience

I've over 10 years experience using the internet to promote products, services, and ideas.

I've been a product manager, product developer, marketer, strategic planner, general manager, and CEO. I've traveled both the "start-up goes public" and "start-up goes kaput" routes. I've worked for for-profits and non-profits. I've worked for myself, and others.

Always, I've sought to innovate in the name of making our home on earth the best it can be.
