With Google you can run advertising campaigns on what is called "Google AdWords". If you go to Google and search for anything you'll see that there are listings down the side of the page and a couple at the top. These are paid advertisements. Go to Google and search the words "sell my house" adding your city to the search term first. Ex: "Charlotte Sell My House". Look at the different ads of local realtors and investors selling property. You can also search other keywords and include your city name. Keywords like, foreclosure, Buy my house, sell house fast, etc.



As an example related to the above, let's say the house was bought for $200,000 and sold for $300,000, and it took 5 years for this transaction. To actually buy the house, the legal fees, land transfer taxes, mortgage contract and real estate fees amounted to $1000, $3000, $500 and $5000 respectively. The total set up costs would be $9500 so far, which would be subtracted from the money you made, because it actually costs you $200,000 PLUS $9500 to physically buy the house.

As much Knoxville home for sale as I enjoyed this movie leisurely directed by Taylor Hackford from a John J. McGlaughlin adaptation of Richard Starks' novel "The Hunter", it reminded me of two other movies that are very similar to this one: 1999's "Payback" with Mel Gibson and 1967's "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin. Both those movies were very effective and gritty while this new version is fun to watch.

However, today, this information is available easily online. Buyers can even look at the history of the listings to obtain information about the purchase of the property and how long it has been listed on the market. They can even compare properties to gain an idea of the approximate value of knoxville homes for sale with pool in the local market. In this scenario, one might question the very need to even have a realty agent.

Hint: Always make sure that your lender allows rebates, gifts, etc. before doing Knoxville home for sale business with them. Some are so restrictive that they don't allow rebates even though they may be knoxville homes for sale by owner allowed in your state.

Then you either sell quickly to another investor (whom you let take care of the taxes), or if you've got the money and want to sell for retail, you can pay the taxes yourself and take your time.

But again, you're building a business and a presence, so don't expect a lot of sales or listings right out of the box. Instead, you should expect little to any immediate success from your initial mailings. Direct marketing is truly a mid to long range strategy in terms of getting listings and making sales.
