Want some free advertising for your listing? Below is a list of free things you or your agent can do to advertise your house:

  1. Advertise it on Craigslist
  2. Post it on Zillow
  3. Make a YouTube Video Tour (and then post the link to Craigslist)
  4. Advertise your Open House on Redfin Sweet Digs
  5. Hold a Garage Sale (Sure, you get a lot of looky loos, but so does an open house, and a garage sale will get twice the number of looky loos)
  6. Start a Blog about your house (Start a free blog on Blogger)
  7. Share photos of your house on Flickr or Picasa
  8. Put a flyer up at work or school
  9. Agents: Mooch a Real Estate Book Ad: Many agents buy page space in Real Estate Books, but don’t have enough listings to fill them up. Some will happily advertise other people’s listings in order to pick up potential buyers.
  10. Tell your local paper’s real estate writer (or blog writer) about your house. You will have to have something unique about your home that the writer would find interesting… a vanilla home in a subdivision probably won’t make the cut
  11. Put it on Google Base
  12. Put it on House.info
  13. Put it on Facebook Marketplace
  14. Ask your favorite lender to do some free advertising for you. In exchange allow him to put a rider on your yard sign.
