For Sale By Owner Marketing Tips

 
 
  FSBO Website
  You can sign up for a free for sale by owner web page on Postlets. Use your website address on all marketing materials and promotions so that people can easily find out more info about your property. Also check out zillow.com for additional free fsbo home posting services.
   
  E-mail
  Just about everyone has email these days. Use it to your advantage. Send an e-mail to friends and family about your property and ask them to spread the word. Include a quick description of the home, a link to your website and your contact information.
 
  MLS Listing
  Getting listed on the MLS can really take your marketing efforts to the next level. For a small flat fee you can get your home listed on the MLS, Realtor.com, AOL, Chicago Tribune’s website and many others. Click here to find out more about getting listed on the MLS for a Flat Fee: Flat Fee MLS
 
  FSBO Websites
  There are other for sale by owner websites that you could list your property on but be aware that the major drawback to those websites is that they do not have enough homes listed to generate repeat visitors and are generally ineffective. Our website works to overcome that by offering MLS listed homes as well as homes listed for sale by owner.
   
Pictures
  Pictures are important and should be included in all marketing materials. For more information on pictures try these links:
 
 
Open House
  Open houses can help but they are not the most effective means of marketing your home. Many times the people attending the open house are not serious buyers.
 
Brokers Tours
  Brokers Tours are an opportunity for REALTORS® to preview your home. They are usually scheduled for a specific day of the week depending on the area. It is an excellent way to get the word out on your property. This option is only valid if you are listed on the MLS. MLS Listing Illinois
 
Flyers
  Generate a flyer with your free for sale by owner website. Post the flyer at work, school, church, grocery store, coffee Shop and anywhere else you can think of.
 
Yard Sign
  A yard sign is always recommended to capture foot traffic. Try to use as professional sign as possible. The quality of your sign reflects on your property and is one of the first things that will create an impression of your home prior to a showing for better or worse.
