One of the most time consuming activities you will be faced with if you are trying to sell your house privately is marketing it. If you choose to sell your house through an estate agent they will do all of the marketing for you. However, if you sell your house privately, you will be solely responsible for making the public aware that your property is for sale.
The "for sale by owner" market has grown considerably in recent years and as a result there are several techniques available for advertising your property to the open market.
The property section of your local newspaper should already contain a section dedicated to people who are selling their properties privately. Simply pick up a copy and check for yourself.
