Clovis For Sale By Owner? Craigslist Tips for Selling Your Clovis Home

Clovis For Sale By Owner? Craigslist Tips for Selling Your Clovis Home
Are you a Clovis For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and plan on using Craigslist to sell your Clovis home? Then read on. Selling your Clovis home by yourself isn’t easy (click here to find out why), but if you’re going to do it, Craigslist.com can help. Craiglist allows you to submit your Clovis home for free and then generates leads from potential buyers searching for Clovis houses for sale. But in order to get the most out of Craigslist you need to follow these 6 tips:
Selling Your Clovis Home on Craigs-list
- Create an account. If you don’t already have an account, sign up.
- Pick your target audience. In order for your ad to be effective, decide on what type of Clovis buyer you want to target. For example, is your Clovis home more suited for first-time Clovis home buyers, or buyers looking in a certain Clovis Unified School District, or Clovis luxury-home buyers? You’ll want to write your listing differently to attract an luxury Clovis home buyer than you would a first-time Clovis home buyer.
- Create your campaign. Create several ads to post and generate traffic based on your target audience. Keep in mind that Craigslist won’t let you post the same ad over and over. So in order to post frequently, you need several posting options. Design your listing so it sends interested potential buyers to your web page, e-mail, or phone.
- Put it to work. Post your listing at least twice daily during the week and once on weekend days. Tip: Don’t post early in the morning because the ads will fall to the bottom of the list quickly. Be consistent about posting. If you don’t have time, assign it to an assistant or your spouse.
- Follow up. Collect e-mail and phone numbers and follow up. Offer a home tour or let them know about a group open house. The trick is to get potential buyers to come visit your home. You can’t sell it if buyers don’t come see it!
- Track and tweak. Track the results and see if you can improve them by identifying which ads generate the most e-mail / phone calls. If you have one that seems to work particularly well, modify the others to follow this format (remember Craigslist won’t let you post the same ad over and over).
Clovis Real Estate
At Clovis Real Estate, Craigslist is just one of the MANY marketing tools we use to sell your home fast and for the highest possible price. Worried about cost? Don’t be. You’ll likely get more for your home and profit more. Why? Home owners who do not use a real estate agent sold their home for an average of 20% less than a home represented by a Realtor. That’s a loss of $80,000 on a $400,000 home! So even though you pay a commission by using a real estate agent, you are more likely to make far more money.
At Clovis Real Estate, we help you stage your Clovis home, assign a Clovis photographer to take eye-catching photos, and use a state-of-the-art marketing plan to reach thousands of potential home buyers. The more Clovis buyers who see your home, the better chance you have of selling it … and for top dollar.
