ForSaleByOwner.com grows real estate advertising

ForSaleByOwner.com has expanded its network of print magazines and launched a new magazine for independent home sellers and buyers in San Antonio, Texas.

The company provides an online marketplace for home buyers and sellers, and distributes 1 million FSBO magazines across real estate markets in 20 states.

The new San Antonio magazine reflects a steep rise in online listings in South Texas, according ForSaleByOwner.com COO Colby Sambrotto.

“San Antonio is one of our fastest-growing markets, and with the test launch of the magazine, listings have already increased in that area by nearly 25 percent,” Sambrotto said.

Gary Bisha and Mike Greiner, co-publishers of San Antonio’s new magazine, have also published Houston’s ForSaleByOwner.com magazine since 2000. Bisha and Greiner also plan to expand into additional markets throughout Texas in 2005.
