How do you sell your rehabs after work is completed?

[Chadd Naugle]

You guys that are successful rehabers. Quick question for you. How do you market your property after you rehab it?  The obvious is list it with a Realtor, but are there any different approaches that seem to be working.

Though about just putting it on the MLS myself, I think you can pay a fee, and have it listed there without going through a Realtor.

My goal is price it attractively a little below market, and try and get a quick sale.  I am going to put a For Sale sign in the yard while the rehab is taking place.  This is my first rehab project, so I am curious what others are doing to market their property without going through a Realtor.

Thanks for reading.

Have you ever sold a house before? It's not hard but there's more to it beyond just getting it under contract. If you have a good title company they can help you through most of it though.

With that said, your best bet is to do a flat fee listing on the MLS. Should be about $300-$400 and then you will be getting the proper exposure. Just make sure you have really good pictures. I hire a photographer for all of my listings, makes a big difference. Don't pay more than about $150 though. If it's priced right and you get people out there with good pictures and proper exposure, it should sell itself.

I'm an agent so I list all of my own but I did the flat fee before I had my license.
