Appropriate to post an Apt for sale FSBO?
I am not sure whether or not it is appropriate to post a FSBO here. If it is, please let me know and I will post details. Otherwise, please look in the NY Times online for our apartment listing ($1.065M in Boerum Hill).
thanks

FSBO should be allowed.

FSBO should be allowed. But your apartment will be scrutinized, especially if you have recessed lighting.

I personally don't have a problem with this, as long as Brownstoner doesn't get over-run with this kind of posting, and if the posters are part of the community. That being said, thank you for asking in advance, that is really polite of you and I appreciate your consideration.

is 11:34 Brownstoner? No? Then why is he/she acting like the person with the rule book here.
I've been reading brownstoner since the beginnig and FSBOs have always been covered (and sometimes trashed). I don't think you can just post it, and not answer to anyone but Brownstoner himself

So many times people have recommended to Brownstoner they have a FSBO section. Perhaps because Craigs List exists they think they wouldn't make money on it, but frankly, Craigs List doesn't offer enough filters. There needs to be a search of specifically and only FSBO properties, on which people can select the exact neighborhoods they want and number of bedrooms and type of property (house or apt). Our friends who had a FSBO said most all their potential buyers found them on the NY Times, not Craigs List. It's because people who are seriously searching to buy need to use those filters.

Do it--I love looking at real estate, especially FSBOs. Brownstoner SHOULD have a special FSBO section.

I just realized why there may never be a FSBO section here - the realty companies who buy ads would be very against that.
Somebody else really needs to start a website like that. I don't even know why somebody hasn't already. They'd do so well, being a FSBO site focused exclusively on Brooklyn.

Until Brownstoner chimes in, I would suggest that whomever is interested simply go to the NY Times on-line. Given the price and location, the listing will be easy to find....

A million dollars for an *apartment* next to the projects? Do you mean an apartment or a brownstone??

Gosh, thanks ardent-protector-of-Brownstoner at 12:15. Yeah everyone was being really harsh on him.
Not really.

I live on State Street. That's asking a lot for a 2br. Beautiful though.

Yep, I live on that very block of State Street too and that condo conversion of what had been basically a shell was just about the last one to be done in the neighborhood with some degree of class, style, and sensitivity. It was done just before the era of "rip it down and put up the biggest, cheapest thing you can". It's so easy to forget, sometimes, that the architectural crassness we see around us now is really a relatively recent phenomenon.
