The Fishers IN real estate market is looking increasingly gloomy and even seasoned real estate agents are finding it difficult to get buyers for homes listed with them. At the same time many sellers are reluctant to pay the exorbitant commissions to real estate agents. So if you want to sell your home FSBO in the Fishers IN home market, here are a few marketing tips that will help.
Attract the maximum number of buyers: A good way to garner a lot of attention from the buying community is to list your home on websites that receive a high number of visitors. Did you know that 80 of the home buyers looking for Fishers homes visit the internet to start their home search? So, this is definitely a site where your home should be listed. Also there are several sites that offer MLS for a particular city or town; you should get your house listed on as many of these sites as possible.
800 Numbers: Once you have the message out, you will need a number where you can accept calls for more information. Most successful real estate agents use pre recorded messages which are available 24 hours on an 800 number. This way the clients won’t have to talk to a person when all they need is information and you will get their number, name and address. You may want to check with your local real estate agent for such a number for a small fee.
Photos and Visual tours: These very important to attract buyers. Normally MLS and Realtor .com will allow up to 8 photos while the visual tours used by professional real estate agents allow 50 panoramas which can be linked to the MLS or Realtor .com sites. The more the number of pictures the higher will be your placement on the website.
Newspaper: You may also want to consider traditional forms of advertising like newspapers, albeit expensive, these can also get your property ample attention. Remember to keep the advertisement simple with just 3 4 lines. But make the ad stand out by using stars, symbols or a border around the ad. Good days to place the advertisement are Saturdays and Sundays.
Get the Information Out: Let your neighbors and coworkers know that you want to sell your house. Deliver professional, well made flyers; you can make these with MS publisher. Place them on windshields in parking lots or you could send an email to the people you know about your intentions to sell your home and the specifics. For a small fee you may be able to get the neighborhood paperboy to include the flyers in the newspapers he delivers.
The flyer should not include too much information. Simply mention the fact that the house is being sold by the owner by stating in bold “For Sale by Owner”. Don’t give any other information besides the 800 number that has the pre recorded message and also mention that they buyers don’t need to talk to an agent. The fact that there is no flyer information box will make the buyers curious for more information. Also include directional arrow signs to lead the buyers to the property.
