For Sale By Owner Middleman Websites

ByOwnerOregon.com is not a Middleman Website. We are owned and operated by a licensed Oregon Real Estate Broker and have been providing Flat Fee MLS Listing services since 2002.

Below are a few questions and answers to help you understand what a Middleman Website is and why it is better to choose to do business directly with the Broker that will be listing your property.

Answer

1. They normally cost more.
2. You don't know who your local broker will be.
