When you are selling your North Carolina home without a real estate agent, you are selling through a process that is referred to as FSBO, or for sale by owner. Many homeowners choose to use this method because it gives them full control over the transaction. In addition, the homeowner does not have to pay commission to the real estate agent for making the sale. Instead, the homeowner can lower the price of the home, or pocket the money from the commission himself. Either case benefits the homeowner more than using a real estate agent.

In a FBSO home sale, the homeowner is responsible for overseeing all the processes involved with selling the home. One of the most difficult can be the advertising process. This is especially true of homeowners that have no experience in selling homes. Several methods exist for advertising your home to North Carolina home buyers. The best way to sell your home is to use several of these methods at the same time. This way more potential buyers are exposed to your home

By far the easiest way to let people know that you have a North Carolina home for sale is by placing a "For Sale" sign in your front year. Make sure a contact number is listed on the sign so passersby can easily contact you to inquire about the home. Also consider attaching fact sheets to the sign so prospective buyers can read about your home. This will create a more targeted group of inquirers.

The local newspaper is another avenue you can use to advertise a North Carolina for sale by owner home. Sundays are the best day to advertise your home because most people have leisure time to read the newspaper on that day.

Using the internet to advertise your home is yet another effective method. Many websites exist for the sole purpose of listing for sale by owner homes. More and more prospective home buyers are using the internet to purchase their homes. This is certainly an avenue that you don't want to miss. Advertising on the internet exposes your home to far more people than would be exposed to it through a sign in the yard or a listing in the newspaper.

As stated before, the best way to advertise your home is to use a combination of advertising methods. Using more than one method of advertising not only increases the number of people that are exposed to your home, it also increases the number of times that a single person is exposed to your home. This, in turn, improves your odds of receiving an offer, and possibly even several, on your home. With work, your advertising methods will result in a sell.
