Selling your house doesn’t have to be hard. Homes that are FSBO, Homes For Sale By Owner, is a great way to sell your house because you cut out the real estate agents and nasty commissions they take. However, in order to sell your house you do need to know a little about how to present your property and attract buyers. Throwing a FOR SALE listing up somewhere probably won’t stir up much interest and you’ll need to pay attention to the kinds of pictures you use and what information you put in your listing so you increase your chances of someone seeing your ad actually being interested and wanting to take a look. Don’t worry, none of this is really hard and you don’t have to be a slippery car salesman to sell your own house. All it takes is a little common sense and attention to detail.
Your listing needs to be informative. Think of what you would want to see in an ad if you were looking to buy a house. Pictures are a must in any listing and everyone knows that, but what most people don’t know is that you need to be careful as to what kind of pictures you use. You don’t have to show a picture of everything in and around your house. Show the most important and essential ones that would make someone want to come and see more of your property. Pictures of the shower or bathroom really aren’t needed. If anyone is seriously interested in buying your house, they probably won’t buy it just for the bathroom. Also be sure your pictures look good. How is the lighting? Are they too dark to make out what the picture is of? Make sure you label and give your pictures adequate descriptions. People want to know what they are looking at, it may seem obvious to you but that’s because you are the home owner.
Beyond making sure you have good pictures with good information, stop and think about what is in the surrounding area. Do you live in an area that has a famous landmark or scenic spot? If you’ve lived in the area for some time, it is possible that the tourist spots seem boring and out of date, but remember that many people looking to buy houses may not even be from your area and might be really interested when they find out what’s in your immediate area.
The key here is that you really need to try and make your FSBO as attractive as possible. Do you remember what you did the last time you went and bought a house? Did you buy the first one? There is probably a very good chance you looked at multiple homes that were for sale even before you began to decide on what you were looking for. There is probably also a very good chance that if a listing looked dull and uninteresting you just didn’t bother to call up and make an appointment to check it out. FSBO advertising can be very effective provided you pay attention to the above tips and just remember that the only way you’ll be able to create interest and sell your house is with an effective listing.
