Meydomo: Start Here · Chapter 4 of 6
Meydomo vs. FSBO
FSBO promises control. It delivers a second job—answering calls, managing showings, learning MLS compliance, and juggling offers solo. Meydomo keeps the control but removes the part-time agent grind.
Video idea: Cut between a stressed FSBO seller missing calls and Meydomo’s AI greeting the buyer, booking the showing, and pinging the owner with a calm confirmation.
Control without isolation
Meydomo was designed for owners who want agency but also understand how brutal real-time lead handling can be. Here is how the two paths diverge.
MLS reach vs. yard signs
Pure FSBO
Yard signs, Craigslist, and social posts rarely reach buyer agents. Without the MLS, 86% of buyers never see you.
Meydomo hybrid
Full MLS exposure with IDX syndication plus a call desk that captures every buyer-agent inquiry the second it comes in.
Phone duty 24/7
Pure FSBO
You, your spouse, or your voicemail. Missed calls mean missed showings, and buyers rarely leave messages.
Meydomo hybrid
AI answers within seconds, escalates nuanced questions to humans, and books confirmed showings onto your calendar automatically.
Offer triage
Pure FSBO
PDFs, texts, and emails in different formats. Expect late-night spreadsheet building and fear of missing a clause.
Meydomo hybrid
Clean comparison grids for every offer, highlight clauses, and optional review calls so you never select blind.
Legal / logistics
Pure FSBO
Disclosure packets, MLS compliance, and contract templates sit entirely on your shoulders. One mistake invites delays or liability.
Meydomo hybrid
Licensed partners ensure disclosure accuracy, keep MLS compliance tight, and flag paperwork deadlines before they become problems.

Momentum is the delta
- MLS syndication + instant response keep buyer agents engaged. When owners play phone tag, buyers move on.
- Offer grids + review calls stop you from accepting the first “good enough” offer because the paperwork looks daunting.
- Human oversight catches the paperwork traps (missing disclosures, expired contingencies) that DIY sellers only see after an escrow delay.
Who should still go full FSBO?
If you love negotiation, already understand MLS paperwork, and have the bandwidth to live on your phone, you can run FSBO successfully. For everyone else—especially first-timers balancing jobs, kids, and moving logistics—Meydomo gives you the MLS, the responsiveness, and the data without the heartburn.
Chapter 5 scales the comparison to traditional agents so you can weigh full-service commission contracts against a seller-first flat fee.
