How important are open houses and newspaper ads?
It is common knowledge within the real estate industry that open houses rarely result in a sale. The primary beneficiary of an open house is the real estate agent who is conducting the open house. Real estate agents use open houses in the hope of obtaining future customers. We certainly do not discourage an open house event, however, your expectations of results must be realistic.
The weekend local newspapers are filled with real estate advertisements. Rarely do these advertisements result in the sale of a home. The most cost effective way to advertise in the newspaper is through the classified advertising section.
FSBO Revolution, Inc. services do not include newspaper advertising, however, if you wish to do some advertising in the newspaper, your transaction manager will assist you in preparing a professional, cost effective advertisement.

relationship between you and FSBO Revolution, Inc. be created.
A
