There are many ways that you can market your property direct alongside direct from owner websites like www.buymyvilla.com.

They include

* Newspapers – Consider placing an ad in a local newspaper. Don’t forget to include the price, bedroom and as much information as possible. Why not use your www.buymyvilla.com property reference number to allow readers to see photo’s online

* Magazine – Often highly effective but also very expensive. Glossy magazines will often give advertisers a small piece of editorial if requested and are the perfect medium to present high quality glossy images of your home

* Sale Boards – Where appropriate yard or sale boards can be very effective, but remember the quality of your sign may lead the visitor to believe that your home is of similar quality. Consider therefore investing a little extra to make the sign stand out. Again you can add the www.buymyvilla.com URL and property reference to allow potential buyers to check out the price and more details online, without contacting you. If you have a nice lawn, why not put some flags up to help draw attraction to the property.

* MLS Listing agents - Some Real Estate agents in your local area may be willing to place your property on a MLS or multi listing service. That means commission proceeds from the sale of your property will be shared between agents on the MLS. You can expect a fee for this service to range from 2% to 6%.

* Internet - Remember millions of users search the internet daily and with a highly effective marketing tool such as this site provides, the internet will definitely be the most productive form of marketing you will use to promote the sale of your property.

A trickle of second homes for sale turns into a flood.

The credit crunch has started to take effect on the second home market in countries where there are many new developments just coming to the stage of completion. When purchase decisions were made two years ago and consumer confidence was high, properties were increasing in value due to high demand, cheap local loans and high equity values in the primary homes.

It´s very different now. Many new developments are now coming up to the completion stage and the developers are asking their buyers to part with the balance owed, in return for the title deeds and the keys. Some buyers are choosing to cut their losses and sell for below perceived market value, but many remain in denial. The reality is that, to sell, offers of 20% below the asking price are likely and should be considered in most circumstances. The alternative is to keep the properties and hope to rent them out. Bluntly, there are not enough prospective tenants to fill all of these holiday homes.
For those, with property overseas in “Euroland”, there is the prospect of mentally off-setting some losses against the rise in the strength of the Euro against the Pound. In some cases, most people will get 10-15% more Pounds for their Euros when converting money back to the UK as the Euro has strengthened considerably against the pound over the last year.

Where´s the good news? It is predicted that the buyers who still exist will begin a buying frenzy this summer. The really smart buyers will pick from the crop now. If you have a property to sell, simply advertise it on a For Sale By Owner site like BuyMyVilla.com for just a few pounds, avoid the estate agency fee, and let the savvy buyer contact you direct. They´re out there, you just need to let them know your property is for sale.

www.buymyvilla.com has just been relaunched due to a rising demand from individuals wishing to save money on selling fees and wishing to retain control of their own property sale. For Sale By Owner ( FSBO ), as it’s commonly termed, is not a new concept. As the use of web sites has rapidly progressed over the last few years, there have been a number of web sites claiming to be the ‘next big property site for properties for sale by owner’. In reality, very few are professionally run, by Realtors (Or estate Agents in European parlance). Professional agents provide one part of the insight required to make a property web site work. Understanding of buyer’s needs on a web site is the other main requirement.

BuyMyVilla.com, fulfills both of those requirements. The site owners have been selling property since 1986 and have run successful property web sites for 10 years. The site has been designed with simplicity of use as a paramount feature. Property owners can upload their own property details and up to 12 pictures. Once a modest advertising payment of just €149 has been received, the site administrators will feature the owner’s property on the web site.

How does this differ from some other For Sale By Owner sites? Well, once you’ve paid the advert fee, the property can remain on the site for a year and there are no other costs to pay when you sell the property. The buyers contact the property owner direct and the buyer and seller deal directly with each other. No middlemen. No extra cost. Thousands saved.

Of course the site has many other features including useful advice and contacts, together with an easily searchable database. The most useful feature from a prospective buyer’s point of view is the site’s regular updates of properties are specifically what the buyer has registered their interest in. All the buyer has to do is register as a member, fill in their requirements and they will be updated regularly with only the properties that suit the saved search. If the requirements alter, they can log-in and make a new search that can be saved.

This feature sells more properties and saves the buyer’s time searching.

To advertise on BuyMyVilla.com, payment can be made in a number of easy ways including credit and debit cards through PayPal.

Visit BuyMy Villa.com to register for property updates, or if you wish to sell and save thousands.
