For Sale By Owner Education: Part 3

The Five Best Ways to Market Your Home

Marketing your home will take time and money. You'll want to position your home on the market to maximize your exposure. The more exposure you can provide, the better chance you have of attracting a buyer for your home.

These are some time-tested methods to help you market your home:

* Hold an open house. Set a specific time and have a purchase and sale agreement available. Know at least three ways to finance your home.

* Place an ad in the local newspaper. Avoid using too many abbreviations; people may not know what they mean. Mention the community or neighborhood, number of bedrooms and baths, price, and any other special features, such as a two-car garage or granite countertop.

* Put a "For Sale" sign in your yard, complete with a telephone number where people can reach you if they want to see the house. Specify "by appointment." You don't want to open the door to just anyone.

* Create a flyer. Include pertinent information about your home and your contact information.

* Let the neighbors know you are selling. Friends and neighbors may know of someone who wants to move into your area.
