If you want to avoid paying commission to a real estate agent, or if you need an additional way to put your house on the market, showcase your home on the Internet.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Scanners
Internet Access
Internet Service Providers
Home Comparable Reports
Personal Organizers
Cameras
Digital Cameras
Cameras

Step 1

Decide on a price range for which you will sell your house. (Buy a home comparable report to help you in your decision.)
Step 2

Ask your real estate agent, if you have one, if he or she has an Internet site that sells houses. Otherwise, visit the International Real Estate Directory (IRED) for a listing of For-Sale-By-Owners (FSBO, pronounced 'fizzbo') sites.
Step 3

Select the listing package that allows you to showcase your property as best you can and within your budget.
Step 4

Fill out an online form, providing information such as price, a text description and contact information.
Step 5

Ask if you can e-mail a scanned photograph of your home or if you can mail a photo to be scanned for you (the latter might cost you a small fee). The photo will then be incorporated into the website.
Step 6

Check for listing expiration and renewal dates, and keep careful track of these.
