Default Re: Flat Fee Real Estate Listing Service

We recently sold our home in upstate NY going the FSBO route. To get internet exposure I listed it on Craigslist. We had a lot of interest from Craigslist and ended up with 3 offers within the first 10 days. It is a nice home on a nice piece of property, which helped. Also, we had a good price on it. We had an appraisel done prior to listing to decide what price to put on it. We ended up selling for $3,000 less than the appraised value.. The other thing that helped was that we staged the house prior to selling i.e. got rid of all the personal stuff; redecorated and rearranged furniture to make the most of the features, and to make it look larger. I planted flowers out front, and put in new mulch to help the curb appeal as well.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
