So we are very close to going under contract on a cabin in The Blue Ridge mountains and a move appears to be in our future. We are going to attempt to sell our Village home on our own - comfortable with the legal aspect - but am curious as to what marketing attempts (other than TOTV and the Daily Sun) have other FSBOS used.

Sit on the front porch of the Sales Center and hand out flyers.

Put pictures up here. I wish you weren't leaving.

I am sure you must be well aware of the differences in winters between FL and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I have always said if it were not for the cold weather for almost 6 months of the year that is where we would live full time. My rule that I do not violate is if there are no palm trees I am definitely too far North!

Good luck.

Yes, a picture would be nicer the Village you are in, type of home and price range.

I'm not....I'm a FROG!!!

Why would anyone other than me want to leave this wonderful paradise?

Are you aware that it gets very cold, (I'm not talking 45 degrees) and it SNOWS in the Blue Ridge Mountains?

try here first with pics...then FSBO...and the paper

[KathieI]

I just purchased a CYV that was advertised FSBO on TOTV. The owner was amazed at how quickly I hit on his post, it was a matter of minutes. Within 3 days, we signed an agreement and are now in escrow. McLin & Burnsed are handling the process and it was sooo easy, I wish I would have sold my house myself but instead I listed it with The Villages Sales Office,,, I am not a happy person so far. It really wasn't worth it. If your not in a hurry, list it yourself, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

PM me if you want more information. We will miss you!!

You are correct.
It's always easier, not to mention peace of mind,
when a professional handles the details, which can be confusing.

And now your puppies will have a nice, enclosed yard to romp around in.
Lucky them!!!

Gomoho, may I ask why you're moving? I know TV is not for everyone, but I'm still curious. And a little jealous. I miss seasons, and mountains, and....no, not the snow! I hope your new place is wonderful.

Ya mean like this? This was Roanoke, VA. Feb. 5 and 6, 2010. We moved to TV in October 2010.

Wow, The Blue Ridge Mountains, quite a change from The Villages. I'm sure you've thought about every aspect of your move. Warmest best wishes to you for good health and happiness in your beautiful new location.
