The first thing we do, once our home is ready for sale, is build a web site. No matter where we advertise and yes, we use some FSBO web sites and other avenues, we always list the url of our web site. Click here to see an example site.
You might think it's a lot of work to build a site to sell a home, but the market that opens up by doing this is larger than you imagine. Consider the number of people reaching retirement age and people who work from home and you begin to realize that your local market is not the most effective one when it comes to selling your home. Of all the properties we've sold over the years, mostly in smaller towns and communities, not one was sold locally.
Unlike most FSBO sites and MLS listings we put together a total package to sell our home. It included dozens of pictures of our home, the street and the local area. We also included links to information about the community and surrounding area. You're not just selling your home, your selling a lifestyle, so make sure you provide enough information for people to understand the true value of the home.
Our guide lists step by step instructions on how to effectively find buyers globally for your home. We also show where you can build a free web site of your own with little or no experience. Technically challenged? Click here to read more about our services
