My mom is selling her SFH by owner.
House in Ashburn Village, 14 years old.
I have listed it on craiglist and washington post.
Is there any other place that would be better to advertise it?
thanks

You can also pay a small fee (around $300) I believe to have it listed on the MLS. Maybe someone else can confirm this, but at one point years ago I looked into this for someone who was selling a FSBO property.

There are several companies in the area who will place the home in the MLS for a fee. Just make sure they give you the proper disclosure forms to supply to prospective buyers.

trulia.com, militarybyowner.com. There's a for sale by owner website that she can get ideas from. I'm a relationship type of agent and prefer face to face with prospects....so door knocking and open houses are a big part of my business. If this is something that interests her, have her make up "just listed" flyers and have her deliver them to 20 neighbors on her street. She needs to actually speak with them AND leave the flyer.

I would too, and wanted to say more but I was afraid the moderator would admonish me.

GoToFSBO.com has been around the longest in Northern VA - they offer straight for sale by owner programs and flat fee mls programs ($275). They will also handle the contract to closing service. www.GoToFSBO.com

I hear you!

I have an excellent realtor I have known for about 15 years and she will be selling my current home for me. Anyone in need, just send me a private message for contact information.
