Tip 4

What are the ads saying? 

Get a feel of how real estate ads are worded.

What are the key words and phrases? 
What ads caught your attention? 
Why? 
Does the ad sound credible? 
Does the ad provide adequate information to provoke interest, or does it leave the reader indifferent? 

Use these ads as a model for your own

Tip 5

Play detective

Do a bit of detective work:  try to keep track of real estate ads that appear only a couple of days (house could have been sold in just a matter of days) and ads that seem to be in the paper forever (why can’t the advertiser sell?  What’s preventing him from selling?)  This is where wording might clue you into the reasons.

Tip 6

Read and devour all that you can!

Build up some more on your knowledge power by visiting your local library, and browsing through books and magazines about real estate in general (and selling homes in particular). 

Be on the alert for people who’ve written about their personal experiences in selling their homes.  Being well-informed is still your best weapon.
