As a for sale by owner or home seller looking to maximize their exposure in this market there are now ways you can do that at less cost than the traditional methods. As a for sale by owner you may not be interested in paying Realtor commssions. At some internet broker sites you can find packages that will allow you to post your property on Realtor.com and showcase the property with mutliple photos, remarks, and scrolling text. Realtor.com gets 5 million visitors a month from people searching homes. The site also allows for open house announcements that can be posted weeks in advance. The property will be exposed to other websites and portals such as Trulia, Yahoo, Google to name a few. By advertising on Realtor.com you are not obligated in anyway to pay a Realtor fee. You retain your for sale by owner status but gain tremendous exposure for the property.
Home for sale without a costly commission. Save your listing broker commission by using a Flat Fee Broker service. These brokers are licensed in the areas in which they do business. The MLS ad and Realtor.com ad is the exact same MLS used by local brokers in your area to expose the home for sale. The main difference is that you save thousands when doing some of the work yourself. Yes, thousands less. One fee, in most cases, is paid to cover the cost of setting up the lisitng and ads. The Buyer agent fee is then determined by the seller. With the property exposed in the MLS, Realtor.com and other public sites you have the maximum exposure to get the property sold.
