One of the most important things you must do to get your house sold is advertise, but where are the best places?? The places professionals use??

For Sale By Owner

Along with a yard sign one of the very best places to advertise your house is the Internet.

According to National Association of Realtor’s most current research, 82% of first time home buyers used the Internet compared with 78% of repeat homebuyers, so the www is a huge piece of the “where do I advertise puzzle?”.

Many local newspapers have an online ad section you can take advantage of. For example our town’s Knoxville News Sentinel currently is running special ad rate of only $236.75 for a 30 day ad that appears both in the print paper and the online edition of The Knoxville News-Sentinel .

Another great online source is Sell Your Home FSBO.com . For only $59.95 they will advertise you home on their website with as much text and photos as you want to include and keep it on the site until it sells.

Another tip; be sure and include lots & lots of pictures where ever you decide to advertise. studies show that buyers like to look at pictures that show the rooms of your house, outside shots including the lawn and neighborhood, and nearby amenities such as your neighborhood swim/tennis club.

One additional, free source of online advertising is my heavily trafficked website www.KnoxvilleMLS.com . Visit the FSBO section to learn how to place your free ad there.

As always, if you have any question about the sale process in general or a specific question, please feel free to call or e-mail me, no cost & no obligation.
