Main feedback: There’s no way I’m trusting an online third party to facilitate my home purchase/sale. Also: when doing FSBO, most of the work and difficulty is manually dealt with—negotiation back and forth verbally or on simple standardized legal documents. Then an escrow company takes over. Hard to see the benefit a third party in the middle who isn’t taking that off my hands (i.e., a human agent).

Hi, jamesgill. We realize not everyone is going to agree early. We think consumers have been trained by the internet to expect things fast, easy, ans cheap. The is a lot of evidence that demonstrates the trend. PropBox will fill a need for many people early because it is fast, easy,and cheap. There is a customer on this thread that is waiting for a photographer before he posts, who will save $100k if the home sells for anywhere near what they believe it is worth. Time will tell, but we are working for a bright future. Thanks for sharing your beliefs. Richard
