How To Write For Sale By Owner Advertising And Write Ads That Get Results:

1. List at least the 6 BEST Features of Your Home. The features that made you decide to buy your home. More likely than not, the buyer will fall in love with your home for the same reasons you did.

2. For your “Headline”, use verbiage that grabs attention. The point of the headline is to create curiosity and to get them to ready the description. Line 1 exists to get them to read line 2 and so on.

3. Be brief in your descriptions, again the descriptions exist to create curiosity to get them to take action.

4. Do not over exaggerate and keep the description focused on the 6 features listed above.

5. Always have a call to action (see below for examples).

6. Photos are 60%+ the success of your ads. Use great photos!.

7. People want to know the main features. But remember only share enough to create curiosity.
