Considering Selling Your Home? Our F-R-E-E Home Sellers Guide written by Lee Rosa
- Put up a sign in a high traffic area
People who drive by your home might not be potential buyers … but maybe, they know someone who is looking to move
- Create curbside flyers
Answer questions from potential buyers when they are right in front of your home by placing flyers in a weather-proof box or tube near your sign.
- List your Home online
Think of it as a For Sale sign that’s seen around the world. For just a few dollars, you can upload images, create detailed descriptions, and keep an “open house”, 24 hours a day *the Lee Rosa team can assist*
- Market your home all over Town
A sign in your yard is a good start, but you will also want to place flyers where the most people can see them. Try the supermarket, shopping mall, and even at your workplace.

- Talk, Talk, Talk
Friends can make for great salespeople, buy its your neighbors who will actively promote your home for you. Remember, they have an interest in who is moving into the neighborhood.
- Advertise
You don’t have to buy expensive ads in large newspapers to advertise your home. Shoppers, penny savers, and the smaller weekly papers have reasonable rates. But keep in mind that the larger papers charge more because they bring more readers to your ad.
- Brag a Bunch
Whether its in a “take one” flyer or in a conversation with a potential buyer, don’t hesitate to call attention to the niceties of your home. New carper, extra large bedrooms, lots of storage … it all lets people visualize themselves living in your house.
- Provide a professional Inspection
It may cost hundreds of dollars but a professional inspection will give your potential buyer the peace of mind to make a decision.
- Keep paperwork handy
You never know when a potential buyer wants to become (the) buyer. Keep forms and contracts nearby. Make sure you are familiar with the closing procedure in Florida.
