With it you get the personal service of having your own Realtor, but in- direct contact with all other Realtors within your par- ticular real estate board. MLS means maximum e ure for your property. ter deciding on how to list, you and your Realtor should decide what selling tools to incorporate into the marketing plan. *Lawn signs, often underestimated by homeowners, are perhaps the most common and effec- tive way of spreading the word. Interest from people who have seen them is especially promising because they have looked at the outside of your home, like it and want to know more. *Newspaper advertising is also a well-known prac- tice. Houses usually appear in newspapers on a rotating basis. This way they don't get stale in the mind of the buyer, so don't get worried if you don't see your proper- ty in the paper every day. *The open house is an ef- ficient way of showing a house to a large number of people at a minimum in- convenience to you. Your Realtor will prepare a specification sheet or presentation booklet, and act as host for the open house.

Let your Realtor do the work. In addition to these tradi- tional ways of selling a home, many realty firms now offer a number of specialty services. Some of these may include talking signs = that broadcast messages into car radios, feature advertising for specific types of property, ual displays in malls or other public areas, televi- sion cable advertising, and national or international advertising. Although it's unlikely that all of these techniques will become part of your marketing plan, talk them over with your Realtor. It pays to examine all the options. Once prospective buyers have been identified, ap- pointment or individual showings are generally set up. These are the best op- portunities for direct face- to-face marketing, where your Realtor can focus at- tention on prospects who have shown genuine in- terest. When you draw up a listing agreement, discuss how home showings will be handled. Appointment showings often happen at very short notice so remember to be prepared for them at all times by keeping your house at its best during the listing period. It's during these in- dividual showings that negotiations will often start with interested buyers. Your Realtor will not only point out the features of the property but deal with con- cerns that are raised by prospects during a showing.

A Home Showing Checklist *Stay out of the way: Have your Realtor show your home while you're away. If you ve at home or have guests, m.. °very ef- fort to keep om . the buyers way, and remember you're not there as host.
