Publishing Your Home For Sale on the Internet

Almost every home buyer who has an Internet connection starts out searching for homes online. Statistics tell us that more than eight out of every 10 home buyers are looking on the Internet: checking out competing inventory and putting together lists of homes they want to see. Because you don't know exactly which Web site a home buyer might check, home listings should be posted everywhere.

I recommend: At Fizber.com, a For Sale By Owner website, they also post your property to Google Base, Craigslist and 80+ other sites. Once you finalize your listing on Fizber.com, they'll make the Internet work for you.

Marketing your home in the neighborhood

To market your home within the neighborhood, you'll need a yard-sign, brochures and a brochure box to post with the yard-sign and in the house during showings.

I recommend: Professional Yard signs, Directionals, Brochures and a Brochure box are included in Fizber's selling packages or can be ordered separately.

Listing your home on the Realtor's MLS for a flat fee

A real estate broker can list your home on MLS for a flat fee. However, because you will paying only a small flat fee rather than a listing commission, you do some of the work that brokers traditionally do; such as show your own home, take your own photos, any additional marketing you may want to do, and negotiate your own contracts. Your broker will forward all inquiries about your property to you and keep your listing current in your local MLS and on Realtor.com.

I recommend: Fizber.com offers a Flat Fee MLS Submission as an additional option to their customers. MLS listing is already included into Fizber's Premium MLS Ad listing package.
