About Us

We are home owners like you who developed and used this service to protect the hard earned equity in our homes.

Our mission is to be a low cost and effective internet based For Sale By Owner advertisement service, always focused on local customer service.

Our success is built on a foundation of trust and relationships with our customers who are our promoters and champions.

Our company, Central Illinois Virtual Inc.("CIVI") was founded in December 2001, by home owners like you who were trying to sell their home as "FSBO" (For Sale By Owner) to save money for their next home.

Within a very short period of time CIVI, known in our hometown as "CIFSBO" (Central Illinois For Sale By Owner) became one of the most successful internet-based services for advertising properties for sale-by-owner. Our customers have been champions and promoters of our services, and we sincerely appreciate and thank our customers for our success.

As we started expanding across Illinois and into other states, our logo was changed and a new web address - http://www.fsbolocal.com was introduced to reflect our growth and commitment to customer service in any location serviced by CIVI: our reach is now far beyond central Illinois.

Customer service has been a primary goal of CIVI from day one. We do our best to provide advertising value and services that develop and maintain the trust of our customers. Our goal will always be to provide low-cost and effective advertising services, where home owners can advertise, with exposure far superior to other available media. There is significant value to buyers, too, as quality pictures and detailed information will help buyers determine their interest quickly. There simply is no better media for owners and buyers to sell and locate "fsbo" property.

Our company is NOT a commission-based real estate brokerage service and is NOT owned or controlled by a real estate broker charging on a percentage commission basis. CIVI customers pay a flat advertisement fee for a set time, with low-cost renewal terms, if they need to extend their ad. Buyers will not be re-routed by our website to a commissioned sales person: your contact through this website will be directly with the property owner.

Any suggestion or feedback to improve our services is always welcome (kaz@fsbolocal.com)
