Place an Ad for Your House

Place the ad on the day of the week with the most listings in your paper. This will attract the most viewers. Some papers may have large sections on real estate on Saturdays, others might be Sundays. Place your ad in both papers on their respective good ad days for the most attention.

Also consider placing your ad online in a For Sale by Owner website listing. This will be especially helpful for individuals who do not live in your town or city but are looking to move into the area. Look up ‘sale by owner homes’ or ‘FSBO’ for websites that provide this service for a fee.

Don’t Forget…

Whatever you do, don’t forget to TELL people you are selling your home. You never know who’s looking – or who knows someone who’s looking – for a home like yours.

Bring it up. When the clerk or dentist asks how you are tell them you are actually looking for a new place and have your own home on the market. Do they know anyone looking for a home in your area? Networking is a key element for many sales people, and right now YOU are your sales team, so use it!

You will also be attracting the attention of realtors. Be prepared for their calls and visits attempting to persuade you that you cannot do this without them. They are wrong.
