Question
I am trying to sell my home and would like to know what is the best way to market it. Newspapers,online, flyers,etc. I currently live in New York, and the house is in a residental area in jamaica queens.
Dear Romero,
Thank you for your question.
Trying to sell your home on your own takes a lot of work and time and money to try to get some exposure.
Your best course of action would be to list your home with a Realtor who is a member of a multiple listing service whose members share all the available listings. This gets you print advertising, internet exposure and broker to broker listing sharing which will result in more exposure for you and a higher price. The National Association says Realtors get on average 27% more for homes than do those people who sell on their own.
If you need a referral let me know.
Good luck.
Hans

There are many questions buyers and sellers have about the process of buying or selling a home that they are afraid to ask or that might seem too simple to ask. For instance: in a house, why do some doors open in and some doors open out?
