Vflyer – All Purpose Tool for Selling Your Home

101 Ways to Market Your Home

These days, there are many avenues for promoting and publicizing your home. You can advertise in newspapers, local magazines, realty magazines, on web sites, on REALTOR search sites. You can do it yourself, or seek the help of an experienced REALTOR. You can hand out flyers, use direct mail and reach out to literally dozens of communities on the internet and even advertise on television. Nearly all of them, though, start with well-designed flyer – the realty version of a “one-pager” that offers all the information your prospective buyers need to make their first decision of the buying process – that they are interested in viewing your house.

Two of the most potent marketing tools in your home selling toolbox are the internet and a professionally designed flyer or ad. According to the most recent statistics, over 75% of new home buyers start their search for a new home on the internet. These new home searchers are increasingly sophisticated. A few go directly to the web site of a real estate agency they know by name. Some start with a Google search. Many look for their new homes on real estate specific and classified ad sites like Trulia, craigslist, Google Base, Oodle, PropSmart and Edgeio.
