If you are one of the thousands of people trying to sell a home, you need to know what kind of marketing and advertising pays off and what does not.    To better concentrate your advertising and marketing efforts, learn which strategies work and which aren’t worth the effort.

Proven Methods to Market Your Home. 

1. The Local MLS:  The #1 place to advertise your home listing for the maximum exposure is the MLS.  Every real estate agent uses the MLS exclusively to locate property for prospective buyers.  And, over 60 percent of individual home buyers found the home they purchased through public access MLS websites.

2. The Internet:  If you are putting money into newspaper advertising or home buyer guides, you would be much better off spending the money for online advertising.  Only 3 percent of all buyers found their home through traditional print advertising.  90 percent of buyers located their home on the internet. (Curb appeal still counts.  77 percent of buyers drive by or view the home in person)

3. Website Features:  Homebuyers overwhelming reported that photographs (86 percent) and detailed information (84 percent) were the most important and useful website features.   Video or virtual tours (offered on InfoTube.net) are also popular with 68 percent of home buyers.   When it comes to photo’s it seems the more you have the better.   Studies show that having 16 photo’s instead of 15 resulted in 33 percent more page views.  20 photo’s were the optimum number for maximum exposure, which happens to be the number of photo’s offered on InfoTube.net.

4. Yard Sign with an InfoTube or InfoBox:  One of the best ways to advertise your property is clearly low tech.   15 percent of all buyers reported that they found their home by seeing a yard sign.  And, it seems that all buyers love the convenience of driving by and picking up a brochure to learn more about the house.  A whopping 90 percent of buyers are angry or upset if they find an empty InfoTube or InfoBox.

If you need to sell a home, it is vitally important to advertise the property where they buyers are.  Don’t sell yourself short.  Experience and Research prove that the MLS, the internet and yard signs, with stuffed InfoTubes and InfoBoxes, pay off for the professional real estate agent and for sale by owner, alike.
