Here Is Some Progressive For Sale by Owner Marketing Techniques You Can Use To Get More Exposure For Your Property:
- Create a single property website using a service like Realbird.Com or singlepropertysites.com, that allows for you to syndicate your property to 20+ search portals. Realbird requires you select yourself as a real estate professional!
- Take advantage of the “free” FSBO advertising websites. Yours for FREE.
- Here’s a list of some you may want to use:
- fizber.com (my favorite FSBO site)
- craigslist.com
- forsalebyowner.com (Some cost)
- zillow.com (use “make me move” feature)
- trulia.com
- allthelistings.com
- hotpads.com
- homesbyowner.com (Some Cost)
- virtualfsbo.com
- nuwaymls.com/
- miadomo.com/sellingHome/
- www.10realty.com
- forsalebyownercenter.com/sell-home.aspx
- owners.com
- Create a video of your property and post it to Youtube. Did you know that Youtube is the second largest search engine in the US? Yep, getting your property onto Youtube could go a long way toward getting you organic search exposure. And you don’t even need a video camera to create the video! You can use a free service like Animoto.com to create a video photo slideshow… or a free service like Screenr.Com to give a photo tour of your property as you talk about its better features…
- Post Your Property To Craigslist, but do it right! Sure, we know you’ve probably been using craigslist already, but have you been Titling your Craiglist posts so they stand out? Or in such a way that you can benefit from the organic search juice craigslist is capable of getting you… Have you been making it possible for visitors to your listing on craigslist to join a list to be notified about upcoming open houses at the property? I have a list of some sample eye-grabbing headlines – want them? Email me at mike.stott@mac.com
- Create A Blog or Facebook Page For Your Property… Get people to subscribe or become a fan in order to learn about how the sale is going!
- Google – “Real Estate In …” Your Area.Then go to every agent’s website you find and “Friend” him/her.Moving forward, be sure to drop a line or 2 about your property to your Facebook profile on a daily basis. Sure, agents will see your property and approach you for your listing… But the best among them will keep your property in the back of their mind in order to do the best possible job for their buyer clients. Find some local blogs in your area. Comment on them, be sure to use the Website for your single property page so when folks see your comments and want to know more about you… they see your property!
- Make Sure your sign is VERY Visible with a phone number, the single property website, & QR code.
- And finally, if you exhausted the options above, and your property still isn’t sold, give me a ring at 678-232-0927 so we can talk about the nifty stuff I haven’t shared with your here!
