Pricing: Selling your house privately in a sluggish housing market is not about reducing the price. Don't fall into this trap you can still get the best market value with a quick sale. Note; reducing the price will probably do more harm than good. Numerous real estate agents use this method to make you think they can get a quick sale. Remember they only need to sell one house a week and they don't care which one or what price it sells for, where as you have to sell your house and for the best possible amount.

To be successful you need to ensure your house STANDS OUT from the competition, this will help generate maximum exposure. Then keep prospects focused on your home whilst getting them to disqualify other properties in your area.

Advertising: One of the biggest traps people fall into, especially those of you who are selling your house privately is; Advertising the same way as everyone else (realtors).

Internet marketing is great but not the only or best form of advertising for your home, it can also be expensive if you are not careful. One specifically worded ad in the local, even national newspaper will get your phone ringing. Back this up with another (free) ad on the internet and you will get results faster than the traditional way. The secret is in how you word your ads. With a little bit of research and practice you can write an ad that can stimulate CURIOSITY about your property, and compel a buyer to instantly respond to you by email or phone, even if you have never written an ad before.

It doesn't matter if you don't know a thing about real estate, you are young or old, male or female selling your house privately for a good price is not difficult. You will need to do some homework to find the right advice and/or publication that can assist you, but the time invested will get you results and potentially save you thousands of dollars.
