When writing your home description, your copy should be thorough yet short, simple and to-the-point. Make sure to provide the critical facts buyers are looking for such as the house's number of bathrooms, a re-modeled kitchen, etc. Most home buyers quickly scan home descriptions, so it is important that your house stands out. For example, you may want to add a header such as "Priced below market value" or "For Sale By Owner." Survey our web site's property listings and see how others have written their ads. You will quickly see which are "buyer friendly." Copy their approach for your description.

If you are taking a photo of your home, be sure that the home's yard/driveway is uncluttered. Remove bikes, garbage cans and parked cars. The same applies for interior shots. Move things around if you have to. Take lots of pictures. The more pictures you take, the better the odds are that you'll get a few really good ones. We have a blog article about some free software available to get great photos.

Yard signs are one the most important marketing tools for home sellers. They attract attention to your home. Professionally-produced signs (like the ones we can send to you) impress to home buyers a "quality" image of your house. Directional signs also help drive buyers to your property, especially if you do not live on a busy street. It is a good idea to create a flyer (with a photo) about your home to give potential buyers. Consider printing copies of your flyer from your listing management section on ClickYourMouseSellYourHouse.com to give to people who visit your home. Also include it in the flyer/brochure holder that comes with your yard sign that you get from ClickYourMouseSellYourHouse.com.

The MLS or Multiple Listing Service will also help market your home, particularly to real estate agents who may know of buyers seeking a property like yours. The MLS is a directory used by real estate agents to announce to other agents that they have a home for sale. However, if a real estate agent finds you a buyer after seeing your home on the MLS, you must usually pay that agent a 2.5% to 3% commission (the law states that all commissions are negotiable, however). As every salesman knows, to be effective you have to really know your product. And who knows your home and neighborhood better than you? Certainly not a real estate agent, who, in all likelihood, has spent only a few moments in your house before showing it to prospective buyers.
