For Sale by Owner Listing

and other cost-effective ways to advertise your home

An Internet For Sale by Owner Listing is one of the many ways available to you to let people know that your house is on the market. The fact that you are selling it yourself indicates to the buyer he may get a really good deal.

There are various other ways to advertise your home. Start with the simples and cheapest: Post a "Home for Sale by Owner" notice on the bulletin boards of grocery stores. Be sure to ask the store manager for permission.

Your strategy to reach as many potential buyers as possible should include For Sale by Owner listings on the Internet, erecting signs and advertising in newspapers.

In your internet listings and newspaper ads, describe the major features of your home. The features of your home are what will sell it. An effective ad consists of features, location, price and contact information (phone number and email address).

If you put a sign out in your lawn to advertise to passers by, keep it simple:

For Sale by Owner

By Appointment

Telephone Number

Use large letters. People have to be able to read your message as they are driving by. Do not display a hand-written sign, it reflects poorly on your home. Get a local sign maker or print shop to produce a professional looking sign for you.

These are your main advertising venues: FSBO sites that have a For Sale by Owner listing, grocery store bulletin boards, newspapers and; perhaps the most effective of all, a sign on your front lawn.
