Queens For Sale By Owners Heating Up


 As the real estate market continues to be active, the temptation to sell a property on your own increases. As a matter of fact, we see more and more owners putting up FSBO signs in an attempt to sell direct to the buyer and avoid paying a commission. As a real estate professional, I understand why some sellers would do this.

If I could put more money in my pocket then maybe I would consider this also. But, we do know that it is more likely that an agent would be able to sell the property for more money because of the demand that they could create.


 For those thinking of selling your property on your own, here are a few FSBO marketing tips that you may want to consider.

 How to Increase Traffic to your For Sale By Owner property

 1) Craigslist: It is important that you advertise on Craigslist everyday. You may want to write 7 different ads and rotate them each week. It is important that you keep this fresh

 2) Send color brochures to real estate agents if you are willing to pay them a co-broke commission. In most cases, for sale by owners in Myrtle Beach are willing to pay 3% though there is no set price. 

3) Put a FSBO sign in the yard but use a Text Marketing System so people can text your address and receive information on your property. This is a great way to generate leads without having to take so many calls.

 4) Go to various FSBO websites and place your property details on the site. This can cost a lot of money yet may be effective. Again, you have to keep these ads fresh.

 5) Tell everyone you know that you have a home for sale. Make sure the people at work know so they can spread the word. Word of mouth advertising is the best.

 6) Post information on Facebook

 7) Take a video of the home and place it on YouTube There are dozens of things you can do in order to market your property for sale by owner. If you are thinking of selling, I wish you great success and if you ever need a real estate agent then I would love to earn your business. I created a few videos that give additional For Sale By Owner Marketing tip for you to check out.
