4 Sale By Owner Advertising Tips

As a 4 Sale By Owner , don’t skimp on advertising. Good ads can sell your home.

The formula is S-O-L-D

S – Stop them in their tracks (The Headline)

0 – Operate on their self-interest and desires (Make it compelling)

L – Lure them with a story about something they want (Your offer)

D – Deliver them to your door (Call to Action)

Let’s break it down.

The Headline

The first thing people see is your headline. Think of it as the ad for your ad. The 4 sale by owner ad headline must STOP people in their tracks. You’ve got about 2 seconds to accomplish this, so you better get it right.

There are four qualities that a good headline may possess. These are:

  1. Self Interest
  2. News
  3. Curiosity
  4. Quick, Easy Way

Make it compelling

You’ve got about 5 seconds more after the headline. You must operate on peoples self-interest and desires. The 4 sale by owner ad must make it explicitly clear that you’re talking about something that will directly benefit them in some way.

People Buy Benefits, NOT Features!

So instead of saying “Chocolate cream filled”, say “Twice the creamy taste”. Instead of saying “Pneumatic tires”, say “Smoother Ride”. Instead of say “Greatest Agent” say “Sold Faster and for More Money”.

Remember, Logic has Nothing to Do With It. Emotion has Everything to Do With It!

Your Offer

So, now 7 seconds have passed and your ad must continue to earn their attention. Act like you are talking to a friend. Speak to your new close friend straight from your heart to theirs.

Call to Action

Now’s the time to Demand action, Call About the Home. And the 4 sale by owner ad must make it easy for them to call. (see our Free 800 number)

State precisely the action needed. Here’s an example:

Pick Up the Phone and Call Immediately 1-800-123-4567

Here’s an example of a properly constructed 4 sale by owner ad.

Round Rock – Lovely home, In quiet neighborhood, Large trees, $295,000, amazing bargain, No money down. Free recorded message 1-800-000-0000 ID#0000
