Many FSBO sellers are told marketing their home for sale by owner is very difficult. The fact is that many FSBO sellers do not approach their attempt to sell in a proactive manner. The goal of any FSBO seller is to get as many buyers as possible to know their home is for sale. The number one mistake FSBO sellers make is not marketing their home properly.

There are many different things you can do to market a home. The number one is to use as many forms of media as possible to create maximum exposure for a home that is for sale. Because marketing is key to getting a home sold you will want to take the time when preparing a marketing plan. Advertising budget is always a concern but with the growth of the internet your options are plentiful and often free. Research your options so you can get the most bang for your buck. Be careful not to spend your time or money on services you don’t need.

Here is a list of FSBO marketing ideas:

1) Signs: Of course this is number one – make your signs simple with basic contact information like the phone number. Your number should be large and easy to read for potential buyers driving by searching the area for a home.

2) Free Online Local Classified Ads: There are many communities that have started free classified websites. (Free)

3) Open Houses: They can help but they’re not the best way to market your home. Many of the people coming to your home are neighbors or people that are not true committed buyers. That can be useful in some ways because they may share their knowledge with someone who is actually looking. Do not dis count this method though because only one person needs to like your home to find a potential buyer.

4) Using the Internet: The internet is the ultimate media source for creating exposure. It is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reach buyers. Most home buyers start (85%) their search online. There are several ways to advertise on-line. There are many for sale by owner websites and the key is to get your home on as many as possible. The main drawback is this may take you sometime but it is key to getting your home in the public eye. Many of these FSBO websites will allow you to list your home for free. Unlike in the past many of these FSBO sites now share their information and can get you placed on partner websites automatically.

5) CraigsList: You can post your property for free on CraigsList. Go to craigslist.com and make sure to select your city first. The draw back to this site is that you need to post frequently since listings are sorted by date.

6) Virtual Tour: The Virtual Tour is a great option. The virtual tour can give your prospective buyer a much better idea of what the interior of your home looks like. You may also want to consider posting several YouTube.com videos of your home for sale. This is a great high traffic website that can allow you to link to your online listing from the video.

7) Multiple Listing Service (MLS): Perhaps the best tool to market your home is the MLS. MLS listings are generally pulled by major websites like Realtor.com, and almost all real estate firm websites. To get listed you need to go through a real estate broker. There are many brokers that will list your property on MLS for a flat fee.

The best thing to remember is that as a FSBO seller you need to have a proactive approach to selling your home. There is no reason that you can not have the same number of eyeballs looking at your home online than if listed with a full service broker. You may have some minor costs establishing your online presence but it will be a fraction of the commissions paid to a traditional broker.

If you looking to purchase a product which is offered by different companies, how would you decide who to purchase it from? If you are like most of us, you would simply pick up your smartphone and read online reviews about each company and make your decision on those reviews. Well, the same goes for anybody who is possibly going to use your real estate services.

With the internet and technology making it easy and quick to access information about anybody, your potential clients will search for reviews on you. The reviews and testimonials they find online could be the difference between getting new clients, or losing them to someone else.

Get a Testimonial From Your Client After Every Closing
It is important that you obtain a testimonial after every closing if your clients are happy with your real estate services. Typically, the time of closing is a happy time for the client, and therefore, a perfect time to ask for a testimonial. It is always harder to obtain that testimonial at a later time down the road.

Tell your clients that it could be short and just be a few sentences. Many don’t like writing long reviews and may not give you one because of that. A short testimonial that’s to the point is just as effective.

Take a Picture With Your Client In Front of the Property
Along with asking for a testimonial at the time of closing, you should definitely take a picture with your clients. It is always preferred to take a picture at the property. An effective picture is to take a picture in front of the property while your clients hold the SOLD sign or the keys. The picture can be taken when you meet your client at the property to deliver the keys.

Displaying Your Testimonials on Your Real Estate Website
The most important place to display your reviews and testimonials is on your very own real estate agent website. Your real estate agent website is typically ranked higher in search engine results than your Facebook page and profile pages on Zillow, Trulia, realtor.com, and other large real estate marketplace websites. Therefore, you’ll definitely want to display your testimonials on your agent website.

You should have testimonials clearly visible on your homepage along with a separate page that displays all of your testimonials. Your real estate agent website platform should contain an interface that allows you to enter reviews and testimonials along with pictures of your clients.

Post to Facebook
If someone is looking online for reviews about you, they’ll most likely land on your Facebook page. Therefore, it is very important to create a “Just Sold” post after every closing. The post should contain the testimonial by your client AND the picture you took with them in front of the property. Be consistent and do this for every time you close on a property.

Ask Clients to Submit a Review on Zillow, Trulia, and realtor.com
Anybody looking for online reviews about you will also most likely end up on Zillow, Trulia, and realtor.com. All of these sites accept reviews and it is important that you build up the number of reviews and your rating on these large marketplace real estate websites.

The review is submitted by your clients from your profile page on each of these sites. A client can submit a review by clicking on the “Submit Review” button that appears on your profile page. To make it easier for your clients, send an email with links to your profile page for Zillow, Trulia, and realtor.com.

Have you been having difficulty renting your property out?

No Responses on your Rental Ad?

This is for you!

The world of advertising is changing fast and you are getting left behind! Only a few short years ago, landlords were able to put a rental ad in the newspaper, and would be receiving calls off the hook! You could get higher rental charges and had an abundance of prospective tenants to choose from. This is not the case anymore! It is a renter’s market and you need to get with it!  You are up against property management companies and savvy landlords, who have fancy gadgets and sophisticated systems for attracting renters. I will take you through the process that I use to ensure my rentals are filled!

The Future is Coming Fast!

If you are not already aware of this, the top most trafficked websites currently are Google, Facebook, and YouTube! Therefore if you want to get a tenant to rent your property, start thinking about where your target audience is!

From a demographics study at Havard in 2003, they found that 80 percent of renters are  25 years of age and below! I can only imagine that this stat has greatly increased due to our current economic situation. This means that your targeted audience is on the internet!! Forget the newspaper ads! They cost too much, and the only people who are looking at classified ads in the newspaper are prehistoric cavemen. Neanderthals do not make for good tenants. Trust me! Go to the Interweb!

The Social Network

Social networks are on rise, and this is where and the kids are hanging out! Use your existing network of friends to market your property!

Everyone needs a place to live, so most people won’t be offended (I hope) if you put your rental advertisement of Facebook; just be cool about it! Don’t spam your friends!

There is nothing more repulsive, than continuously getting unsolicited messages from a group you didn’t even join! This is lame!

The next social network that you may want to try is Twitter, though I’m not speaking for experience of this one. I’m not sure of its effectiveness!

Please let me know, if it has worked for you!

After hitting the social networking sites, let’s move on over to Google!

Google It

Put yourself in the renter’s shoes! What would you do?

Let’s say that you are moving to a new city.

You will do two things when trying to find a place to live:

1. Talk to their friends on Facebook
2. Search for rentals on Google

So what do you do about this to target your renters?

Go to Google and type in something along the lines of, “Room for Rent, or House for Rent” and then the city that your rental property is in!

Now we all know that there are few people that will go to the next Google page, so naturally you have to have your rental ad on the sites of the 1st Google page.

Hit the top 5 rental services and post your ad on their website. It may cost you around $50 for all the ads, but it will pay off, in that you will be getting loads of responses, enabling you to chose the tenant that will care for your property that best.  The top sites that come up for me, were Craigslist, Kijiji and EasyRoommate.

Don’t Fight the System, Use the System! Let everyone else compete over SEO on Google! Don’t waste your time!

You should be hanging out in tree forts in Brazil!

Your Ad is the Key!

It is extremely important that your rental ad is tailored and attractive to prospective tenants. You want to paint a clear picture for the type of people you are looking for! Your ad should give the renter a good idea of what the rental is all about, before they even contact you. This is best done with high resolution photos.

If you don’t have photos of your rental, you are hopeless!

We have already started to see real estate agents use video in their ads! Think about linking a Youtube video to your rental ad to give yourself a competitive edge.

Remember! Don’t include details in your ad that tenants could care less about. Its all about the renter!

Write for the renters needs!

The 5 W’s

What I use for my rental ad are the classic 5 W’s:

Who, What, Where, When,Why?

Who will I be renting from? Who will I be living with?

What are you renting out? Is it a room, a suite, a house?

When does the rental start? Where is the house?!

Why would I want to live in your house?

Create Once! Use again and again!

Take the time to develop a system of advertising!

Next time you have a vacancy, you can pull out your system that you’ve previously developed, and use it again and again!

No more headaches! Way more tree housing in Brazil!

Thank You for Reading DoorMouse!

This is a good start to developing a more effective way to reach your audience and develop a stellar rental ad!

The world is changing fast and you best be adapting to it!

I hope this has been helpful in improving your Rental Property Advertising! And I wish you all the best of Success!

Whether your old school or on the cutting edge of technology in your dynamic real estate business, everyone needs a website in this day and age. The benefits of having a real estate website are many in number, and the risks of getting left behind without one are very real. So, what exactly are these benefits? Read on for a brief sample.

1- Build a Strong Web Presence

Get found easier and instantly, via Google searches or links on other sites. Have your office’s address, phone numbers, e-mail address, logo, current listings, and specialization displayed at the click of a mouse. Show up in more places, under more categories, and associated with specific strategic keywords. If you combine your real estate website with the rest of a comprehensive marketing campaign, people can find you in so many different ways, your business will be hard to miss!

Make sure to create a listing on Google My Business for local listings, which are area-specific. Yes, you can select who sees you first, depending on where they live.

2- Generate More Leads

This is a no-brainer. Gone are the days of paying thousands of dollars for Yellow Pages ads and highway billboards, hoping enough people will see it and maybe call your office. Do you also want to pay someone just to answer the phone for you full-time, and rely on methods that the average client no longer uses? Your real estate website is like your modern-day “head office”. This should be the first and most important place your potential clients find you, and if you use an online form to collect client info, then the real estate leads are immediate, free, and warm. A website can also serve as the place that you direct clients to your social media, or vice versa, and have the public sign up for your impactful newsletter for regular announcements.

You’ll also now have a thorough database of potential client info for ongoing listings distribution or announcements.

3- Provide More Exposure to Your Properties

The bulk of a real estate website should be dedicated to property descriptions. This is the opportunity to display full-detail descriptions, brilliant digital photography, and 360-degree virtual tours. You can use as much or as little space as you like, provide clickable links, and make it a more interactive experience for the visitor. The listing created on your real estate website can also be shared (for free) via external links to your own social media pages, other real estate websites, community websites, or anywhere else your marketing efforts lead you.

Again, gone are the days of paying for paper advertising in a weekly or monthly magazine with black and white photos, lost among thousands of other listings in the same book. This just isn’t effective anymore, and can even be a waste of money.

4- Tell Them More About You

A real estate website is the perfect place for potential clients can learn more about you as a professional. This is more important in real estate than almost any other service business. Talk about and splash photos displaying awards you have won, events you participate in, community involvement, as well as your personal background and qualifications. When people get to know you this way (as an individual) they get to like you and trust you. This complements your social media and other real estate marketing strategies perfectly.

5- Tell Them About Your Business

Why wait for a local journalist to write an article about you in the paper or local magazine? Want to be known and respected in the local community? Modern technology puts the power back into your hands. Put the information out there yourself, and draw readers in to see it through strategic web techniques.

For no extra cost, you can regularly publish and update details such as the regions you work in, your years of experience, and areas of real estate expertise. Do you have a knowledgeable team? Are you influential in a hot part of town? Do you specialize in condos, revenue properties, or commercial buildings? Put that out there, forever and visible to the entire world. Include high definition photography and videos to reinforce the message, and make a strong first impression they won’t forget.

6- Create a Brand for Your Practice

If you’ve never succeeded in transforming yourself (and your practice) into a brand, or maybe never thought about it, then this is the way. Think about the biggest, most successful, “celebrity” real estate brokers in your area. They are household names, aren’t they? The public is familiar with their names and faces, the same way they know the name of the local grocery store, florist, or school. Top of mind awareness is ultra important in any business.

Think about it. Your picture everywhere, a logo people will remember, a slogan that rolls off the tongue. A properly executed real estate website can begin this process for you, and position you and your agency as the brand of choice in your local market.

7- Use It as Part of Your Listing Presentation

A listing presentation is what an agent shows to the home seller to convince them that he/she is qualified to sell their home. It usually includes stats, a marketing strategy, pricing, relevant experience, and the added value the agent brings to get the job done. If much of this information is already on your website, you save time and effort. Maybe your potential seller already saw a lot of these details and is already impressed by you before even placing the first call.

8- Exchange Information More Easily

No need for potential new clients to call and wait to speak to your receptionist. This small gesture alone can turn off the ultra busy and impatient 25 to 50-year-old shopper, who is used to having questions answered instantaneously these days. No more need to set up an appointment, drive to meet each other, and invest time just for some initial “this is how we work” info. All this can be accomplished with a few brief lines on your real estate website, which people can read within seconds and move onto the next step.

No need for clients to wait for a form to arrive by fax, or stay on the phone during business hours, to fill in their personal info.

This also allows existing and potential clients to provide feedback in an open forum, so you know what they’re looking for. All this can be done 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and not just during your office hours (when potential clients themselves are most busy).

Are you looking for a profitable commercial real estate investing opportunity? Below are some helpful tips for locating a commercial property to buy.

Before you start your search, you need to decide on your desired property type. Determine the size, type and the location of the commercial property you are looking to purchase. It is possible that you may be looking for a multi-tenant office building instead of a small single-user office building. In such cases, make sure you are clear on these distinctions before you start your search.

Once you have the type of property clearly in mind, there are a number of sources you can use to locate that property:

Internet

The internet is a great platform to use to locate a real estate investing opportunity. There are several commercial real estate industry sites that give you detailed descriptions of properties offered for sale, as well as videos and other statistics that can be a helpful complement to your search. In addition, there are websites that are hosted by professional commercial real estate agents that will show listings of commercial properties for sale.

Another good source to use on the internet is to connect with user groups and real estate forums that can help you in your hunt.

The only downside to the internet is that it can be restrictive, especially if you are looking for a local commercial property. Most local areas do not have a multiple commercial listing service for commercial properties like the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) for residential properties so listed properties are not readily available to research.

Networks

Networking is another good technique used for finding properties. All you have to do is to visit your local real estate investment group and discuss your needs, clearly indicating the specifics of the type of property you are looking for as well as the financial requirements.

The same approach is valid at Chamber of Commerce meetings. You can also join groups of apartment owners, building owners, and associations of shopping center owners.

Professional Commercial Realtors

Last but not least, you can seek the assistance of professional commercial realtors. Good commercial realtors can be a great helping hand in your hunt for commercial properties. Not only will they provide you assistance but they will also help you in locating the most suitable property for your specific investment plans.

Sellers typically are represented by brokers and it is in your best interest as the buyer to have your own professional representation in any transactions you enter into. If you are worried about the realtor fee – it is usually paid by the seller and, therefore, you do not have to bear any expense.

In summary, homework is important if you wish to find a commercial property that suits your requirements. So do your homework and get the professional advice of a commercial real estate broker who will look after your best interests.

There are a lot of financially lucrative real estate investing opportunities in the marketplace. Good luck with your hunt!

The value of real estate has appreciated in the last few years. It also shows great potential for growth. Hence, now might be the best time to look at an investment in property. However, if you’ve spoken to someone who already has his knees deep in real estate investing, you will realize that a lot of things are easier said than done.

It requires skill and experience to scour the market for high value properties.

Then comes landing good buyers.

Finally, there’s a humongous amount of paper work to handle.

This is where real estate investing softwares might lend a hand. They automate the entire process of real estate investing. If you would like to know more about such applications, here’s a low down on some of the common features they offer.

You might have heard a lot of buzz recently in internet marketing circles about something called VRE. What is VRE and what can it do for me you might be asking yourself? Well this article will answer that question for you.

First off lets define what VRE is. VRE is an acronym for Virtual Real Estate or VRE for short. The term has been around internet marketing circles for a while but recently came into popularity when John Reese published a video showing his Google AdSense account earning. This was a stunning video because John Reese was earning each and every month 5 figures and up which is more then many people make in a year. So the video created a real stir of internet for struggling internet marketers. Who wouldn’t want to be making 10,000 or more each and every month? Not only that these profits were earned predominantly through the Google AdSense program which is a 100% passive money earner. Meaning you earn money from your websites while you sleep. This is great because there is no customer service or clients to deal with just you and your websites. There is also very little holding you back from creating obscene amounts of money this way online. The more sites you develop and the more traffic you get to these sites the more you will earn. What a great combination it seems like a winning venture all the way.

To take it to a little deeper level though virtual real estate websites are really not just about earning money online. It is a new philosophy in internet marketing or a movement of sorts to move away from spammy cheap link directory sites that use black hat seo techniques to earn money. What many internet marketers are discovering is these black hat websites are profitable only for a short time an then they get delisted from Google and other major search engines. So along came the VRE philosophy of building websites. The main idea is to build great quality niche websites that provide useful content for the site visitors and are built using white hat seo techniques so they will stay around for a long time. Thus the term virtual real estate is being used because like real estate these sites will just appreciate in value over time.

The what it can do for you part should be pretty easy to answer once you understand what VRE stands for. These quality websites can produce a huge profitable portfolio of sites that gain in value while earning you a nice monthly income.

So what is the downside? The only downside if you can even call it that is these websites take time to make and some knowledge to market. Just creating sites for the purpose of creating the sties will do you little to no good. If you site does not have any visitors and no one is clicking on your Google ads then they are worthless sites. So the internet marketer wanting to develop their own VRE empire of sites has to learn how to market the sites. This includes things like article submission, link exchanges and other internet marketing technique.

Over the past few years, more and more people in the United States have been offering real estate notes for sale. Selling real estate is an easy way to turn one’s monthly receivable payment into an immediate and large sum of cash. A real estate note for sale can be a mortgage note, a contract for sale or a land contract.

The best way to find real estate notes for sale is to look for real estate note listings. Several websites provide information on real estate notes for sale. They usually list real estate notes from different states. These websites also provide information on various categories of real estate notes. You can approach real estate note brokers who generally have up-to-date information on the real estate note market. They can also simplify the process of transaction. Local newspapers and magazines are other places to look for real estate notes for sale. Real estate investment clubs are a good forum to discuss matters related to real estate notes.

Competition in this field is very high. Earlier, it was easy to buy real estate notes for huge margins of profit. With several financial institutions and companies hunting for real estate notes, individual buyers often find it hard to buy and sell real estate notes. Most real estate note sellers do not sell their entire lot of real estate notes at once. This can place individual buyers in certain tricky situations. Generally, real estate notes sold partially would not generate immediate income. It is better you go for professional help, as the transaction can sometimes be confusing.

Social bookmarks are a quick effective ways to promote your real-estate listings. They increase the chance that your property will make it to the top of the search engines – and more importantly indirectly market your property to friend’s relatives and co-workers.

How ranking is increased

Internet ranking of web pages is largely based on how popular the website the link is found on. A webpage of a high value website is going to get a much higher ranking in the search results than a lower one.

Social bookmarks sites like stumbleupon.com, delicious.com, facebook.com, twitter.com and others traditionally have higher traffic ranks than real-estate websites.

Many times there is a popup you can use to select the social book marking site you want to use. Register at the site and recommend the links to your real-estate listings. Want more traffic then have your friends recommend the link as well.

Not sure what a chiclet is?

Chiclets are the links on a page you can use to share the web page you are on. They are tiny social network bookmark icons that allow you to easily submit the real-estate listing to social news and network sites like delicious.com, stumbleupon.com, facebook.com and others.

One you have your real-estate listings promoted and recommended on the social book marking sites – now you need to get others to view and vote on them.
