Selling Your Home FSBO

Many homeowners wish to try selling their home themselves for a while. If you want to sell something, you have to come up with a marketing plan. Even if it's just lemonade, you still need a stand and a sign to attract customers.

Selling real estate is no exception. The professionals in the field know this well. Every good agent has a marketing plan. It typically includes listing the property on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) so that other brokers can help sell it, generating interest in the property by "talking it up" at sales meetings, placing advertising in the newspaper, holding open houses, and planting a bold sign in front.

If you're selling by owner, to be successful you likewise need a plan. And many owner/sellers mimic the marketing that agents use. For example, they put a big sign in front. And they place at least small ads in the local newspaper.

However, after that, the marketing plans of owners tend to fall flat. Who are you, as an owner, going to talk your place up to? It's hard to stir up interest in your home when you only have yourself to work with.

Yes, you can create flyers and post them on your sign, on bulletin boards and in housing offices of companies. All good ideas. But, how do you generate the interest that agents can get?
