It's true that in this day and age, there really is information overload. Every outdoor surface seems to be plastered with advertising messages of some sort. So how do you tell folks in your neighbourhood that your home is for sale?
I saw one creative neighbour the other day who had obviously contacted the people who lived on the corner of a busy street, and put a for sale sign on their lawn - with a big red arrow markered on it. You followed in that direction down the street, and again you found another home with a FSBO sign on the lawn and another arrow directing you down yet another street. About 6 houses down this road, there was the ACTUAL for sale sign on the front lawn of a lovely home.
I thought this worked pretty well as it created a bit of a "treasure hunt" feel to finding the home. The other aspect of this creative solution was that because the other signs were on private property, there was no issues of infringing on any city sign bi-laws. Genius.
Enlisting the help of your friends and neighbors is a great way to increase interest, traffic and hopefully offers to your FSBO home. Be creative and get sold.
