Is your home For Sale by Owner?


Actually, every house (land or commercial property) is for sale by the owner. Only the owner can sell the property and transfer ownership to someone else. Real estate agents market property, but only the owner can sell it.

As the seller of the property, are you getting as much exposure to the real estate market as you can get? Merely planting a "For Sale by Owner" sign in the yard, or running an ad in the newspaper, won't put your property in front of potentially millions of people. The only way to do that is internet advertisng. And the beauty of internet advertising is that it's free. You can pay for advertising if you want to, but you can get worldwide advertisng for free.

Once your property for sale goes on the internet, it can be seen by anyone anywhere in the world with a computer. It may sound farfetched, but it's true that if someone in China planned to come to Americus, Georgia, and looked for homes for sale on the internet, that person could find your home.

Let's say you do not wish to list your home with a real estate agent, but you want to advertise it far and wide, free of charge, with no obligation, no contract, no strings attached. Is there a way to do that?

Michael Dixon Realty has three real estate websites where local properties for sale can be advertised free of charge. Over a month's time, the three websites are visited by hundreds of people looking at real estate on the internet. The exposure of the properties on Michael's websites is multiplied many times over by the process of syndication. That means that properties on Michael's websites are picked up by numerous real estate search sites that receive thousands of visits. To mention just two: Yahoo and Trulia.

What's the catch? There isn't one. I like to add properties to my websites to make them more interesting to people who are looking. Since the websites are paid for, merely having more properties on them costs me nothing; therefore, I don't need to charge anything. I invest some time to put your property for sale on my websites, but in return your property makes my sites more appealing to people.

This is but one of four distinct benefits Michael Dixon offers buyers and sellers of real estate that no other broker offers. To learn more, call me at 229-924-3089.
