Episode 276: FoolProof FSBO: How Tim Street Is Helping Sellers Win On Their Own
Monday, 26 January, 2026
Episode 276 of The Smart Agents Podcast features a candid and unconventional conversation with Tim Street, a former top-producing real estate agent who made the rare decision to walk away from traditional commissions and rethink how homes are sold.After years of listing success—often selling homes faster and for more money than competing properties—Tim reached an ethical crossroads. He began noticing how unrealistic pricing promises, long days on market, and misaligned incentives were quietly costing homeowners tens of thousands of dollars in lost equity. Rather than leaning into those systems, Tim shifted his focus to education and built FoolProof FSBO, a structured framework designed to help homeowners launch a professional-quality listing in just seven days with clarity and confidence.In this episode, Tim explains why most For Sale By Owner sellers fail, not because FSBO is inherently flawed, but because sellers lack a clear blueprint. He breaks down the critical role of pricing strategy, professional photography, inspections, and legal guidance—and why skipping those steps creates stigma that’s often impossible to recover from. He also shares why empathy, honesty, and clear expectations consistently outperform hype and overpromising.In this conversation, Tim breaks down:✅ Why most FSBO sellers fail without a clear process✅ How overpricing and long days on market quietly destroy seller equity✅ Why professional photos, inspections, and legal support are non-negotiable✅ Where agents truly add value—and where incentives can break down✅ How clarity and ethics lead to better outcomes for everyone involvedLearn More From Tim👇Website: https://foolprooffsbo.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foolprooffsboYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@foolprooffsboGet The FoolProof FSBO Ebook: https://foolprooffsbo.com/ebook📕 Claim Your FREE Home Selling Tips Book Sample 📕Go to: https://authorify.com/sample🔥🔥🔥 Get More Real Estate Training and content: https://linktr.ee/Smartagents🔥🔥🔥👉 Want to be a guest?
