*** Listing your home only in your local newspaper will not , in nearly all cases, result in a sale! ***

When Realtor's tell you that listing your home in your local newspaper will most likely not result in a sale they are absolutely right, and here's why:

You need to understand how a typical home buyer, first and foremost, is going to find your home. The one tiny ad you place is listed along with a large number of other ads. What makes your ad stand out from the others? Answer: Usually nothing. Then, if you are lucky enough to have your ad located by a potential buyer, what information about your home does the buyer receive? Answer: A very limited description, and sometimes not even an address where the buyer can drive by and view your home! BUYERS WILL WANT TO SEE YOUR HOME BEFORE THEY EVEN CONSIDER BUYING! AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DRIVE AROUND AND LOOK AT EVERY HOUSE IN THE PAPER THEY ARE INTERESTED IN!  This is why listing your home only in the newspaper doesn't work.

Here's how you advertise the correct way.

Your home listing in the newspaper needs to stand out from the other ads. You can achieve this by directing potential buyers who view the newspaper ad, to your full color listing on the internet. Potential buyers can then, at their leisure, see multiple photo's and full descriptions of your home without the need to get the kids ready and drive halfway across the city to view your home. Buyers can also find mortgage and other information on the web-site that will help them be prepared to make a quick purchase. A high quality attractive looking "For Sale By Owner" yard sign will also show potential buyers that you are a serious seller ready to negotiate a deal.
