Any tips or tricks I can find on the money board? Where and how to advertise without using a Realtor? Help may be rewarded with some NSFW pics....

-I used owners.com to sell my last house.
-Have open houses if/when houses down the street from you have open houses, especially if they are listed with a realtor
- keep in mind that the house down the street from you that's listed with a realtor is probably priced 3-6% higher to account for realtor fees.
- one thing that I think helped is to include a floor plan on the flyer, if possible. My wife created one in Excel, and while it wasn't to exact scale, it gave people an idea of the layout.
- realtors are going to bug the shite out of you and make you think you'll NEVER sell your house without them. Don't listen, but do offer them a flat rate commission if they want to show your house.

I recently sold my home without a realtor. I sold it by just telling everyone in the neighborhood that I was moving out during regular mailbox conversation. had two different neighbors wanting their relatives to take a look and one of them bought the house. All we did was rent a big climate controlled storage unit and move over half our stuff out, painted, cleaned it up nice before showing it. We landed on a price by looking and seeing what other comparable houses were selling for in the area.

In summary decluttering, putting on airs, research and putting a sign in the front yard are a good place to start trying.
