“There are now over 4,364 real estate properties sold on eBay Real Estate every month and thousands more are listed using our ad format! eBay is particularly popular for those selling unique homes, vacation homes, or homes for investors. Let yours be next!” – Ebay web site

With the exposure eBay has, you drastically expand your audience.  As with any other internet method, home buyers have 24/7 access to the listings and can respond immediately.  You do not need to be an agent or broker to sell a house on eBay.

Home sellers have the choice of selling through the auction or the classified sections.  eBay has the templates and suggestions.  I have looked through real estate listings and find it amazing how poorly done some are.  To stand out, you want your “for sale” post to stand out and shout buy me.

Use pictures and videos.  As in using real estate marketing sites, spend time creating a description that will make the potential home buyer feel at home in your house.  Just because eBay it used like classifieds doesn’t mean you need to keep it short.  Just be professional.

eBay real estate auctions are not binding.  Essentially, buyer and seller get together after the close of the auction and work out the details, which vary from state to state.  Click here for a short article in the Wall Street Journal you should read if you are thinking about selling or buying real estate on eBay. There is some very good advice here.

Would it be better to know how to use eBay real estate from someone who has figured it out, or would you prefer to stumble through and hope for success?

It is amazing how many real estate agents have not updated their thinking and don’t market properties on the Internet.   It is vital to you, whether you’re selling your house yourself or using an agent that you know and use your internet options.

You do not need your own website to advertise your house for sale.  You do not even need to be particularly internet savvy.  Sellers are guided through a simple fill in the blank template for all the information on the property.  Then there are instructions for uploading photos.  It is easy and fast.

The advantage of using one or more of these sites is exposure.  They already come up on top in Google and other search engines, so you do not need to worry about optimization and all the other search stuff.

Make you title specific for your location and type of property.  Putting “House for Sale” will not draw the same response and putting “3 Bed, 2 Bath in City, State”  Include as many good pictures as the site allows.  Include in the description area as much information as you can think of to make a prospective buyer get a good feel for your house. If you read the previous post, you will remember to call your house a home when communicating with a prospect.

I have included a few sites where you may want to post your house.  Check them out.  They often have information to help you market your property.

Also Google  “for sale by owner” or some similar keywords to find more sites.  Explore them to see which may be most beneficial.  Of course, you are not limited to the number of sites you use.  The more exposure, the better your chances of selling.

Good luck.
