Marketing a home properly is one of the main factors that will determine how quickly the home sells. Putting a house for sale and listing in on the MLS® system is simply not sufficient. There are many other marketing techniques that should be used in the marketing of a home.
Newspaper Ads
There are many serious buyers who use the local newspaper's real estate section to find the home they are looking for. This is why it is very important to market your home with regular ads in the newspaper. All of Ernie Ward's listings are advertised on a regular basis to ensure the most public exposure possible.
Open Houses
A good way to kick off a home selling campaign is with an open house. Once again, it is a good idea to advertise the open house to gain more exposure to the public. Open houses are also useful as they attract neighbors from the blocks around your house. These neighbors can be the best promoters of the neighborhood and they all have friends and family who buy homes.
Flyers & Mailouts
Whenever a home is listed or sold there should be flyer sent to all the homes in the surrounding area to announce this fact. This keeps neighbors up to date with the current market and is a very good way to advertise to potential buyers.
Online Advertisising
The internet is the main source of research for most homebuyers today. That is why it is paramount that any home for sale be advertised online. One way of doing so is by putting the listing on a site call www.mls®.ca. Another way is by using your Real Estate Agent's web site (like this one!) to advertise.
What you can do to help sell your home
One of the best ways to attract buyers and sell your own home is with low cost cosmetic steps. Cut the grass, clean up the outside, paint drab walls and remove inside clutter. Why? Because people buy homes that appear clean, solid and well maintained.
