How to Sell My House Online Myself For Sale by Owner

It is very important that you have a presence on the world wide web and you have as much traffic (buyers) as possible, looking for a property similar to yours.

Many buyers spend a great deal of time researching properties of interest on the Internet. Why not? They can sit in comfortable attire relaxed in their own computer room.

They can view hundreds of properties in a short period of time, with very detailed information and colored photos and/or virtual tours.

You still should have yard signs, directional signs and open houses, where appropriate, to give yourself the best odds of a sale.

People still search the Newspaper Real Estate Ads, but I personally believe, this is a dying practice.

Buyers on many for sale by owner sites have the choice of searching by price range, number of bedrooms, baths and location.

They can view high quality photos of various homes inside and out and even take 360 degree virtual tours of a place that interest them on some sites.

Where to Sell My House Online By Owner

How do you go about doing just that? Well, when it comes to how to sell your house on the internet, you could do your own web page.

The problem is that even if you have all the know-how, unless you have a good friend that works for Google, it would probably take far to long to rank high enough to be noticed.

If you do make your own web-page, to sell your house online for sale by owner, I suggest you use specific keywords that include your city/town and perhaps even a sub-area.

For example, you might include keywords such as: Homes for sale Dallas Texas - Properties for sale Woodland Heights Dallas Texas. Without getting all "techie", what you are doing is using keywords with a very narrow search result.

You have to think like a buyer, not a seller, when choosing keywords. A potential buyer, will probably type in homes for sale rather than home for sale.

Even though the "s" may not make a difference in search results, why take a chance. You see, the buyer is searching for homes for sale, not your home for sale.

Fortunately, there are many for sale by owner web-sites that will post your real estate for sale with photos, price and details of your property.

What Kind of Site?

How to Sell My House Online Myself For Sale by Owner

Here are some ideas:

• Choose a web-site that lists real estate in your country or perhaps, multi-countries. You may also consider a local company that offers superior service.

• They want to rank high on the main search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing etc).

• Easy and Clear navigation so even a beginner web user doesn't get lost or confused.

• High Quality listings and photos.

• Fast load up times. Not everybody has a trillion gigabyte machine.

• Good Value for services offered.

• They keep the site up to date.

• Bonus points if they offer Yard Signs.

• Bonus points if they offer Forms, Feature Sheets etc.

Finding a Company to Sell my House Online For Sale by Owner

The first thing you probably should do is get into the buyer's shoes.

• Go to perhaps Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines and start typing in search words that you might use if You were looking to buy a house in your general area. Make a note or bookmark in an individual folder which pages show up in the top 10 (Usually first page).

• Visit each one and again pretend like you are a buyer. How does it look and feel? Is the information well laid out? Can you find the type of property you are looking for easily? Can you search by area and price range? Most people like to search price and area first.

• When you find a site that passes the above tests, look at what they have to offer and the fee they charge. Although you will probably only choose one website, there is nothing stopping you from listing on a couple of sites to sell a house online.
