Myth #4: All I really have to do to sell my
home is to put a FOR SALE sign in my yard and an ad in the newspaper.
Truth: The yard sign and newspaper ad, while
effective, actually account for a very small percentage of “qualified”
buyer activity.
Only seven percent of
qualified buyers come from yard signs and only eight percent from
newspaper ads. That’s why the failure rate for “For Sale By Owner”
is so high. Most qualified buyers are generated by real estate agents
through referrals, past customers and clients, and various proactive
marketing activities. In other words, most buyers are generated from a
pool of buyers who have been professionally nurtured and developed over
time.
