Thanks for requesting the FSBO Buyer Proof of Funds Checklist.
One FSBO seller avoided weeks of delays after spotting fake proof of funds using this checklist. According to NAR, nearly 20% of failed sales are due to financing and funds verification issues.
Why This Matters
Not every buyer who says they have cash is being truthful. Without proper verification, FSBO sellers risk losing valuable time on buyers who can’t close. With this checklist, you’ll know exactly what to look for before saying yes.

Can I accept a letter instead of a bank statement? → Sometimes, but you’ll learn what to check.
Do I need a lawyer to verify? → Not always — the checklist shows simple DIY steps.
