Your Own Toll-free Extension
This technology is currently being used by many of
the top agents in the country to sell houses faster and at a higher price then ever before.
This service answers every call, 24 hrs/day, and provides prospective home buyers with all of your home's features, such as your asking price, how many bedrooms, etc., and how to contact you directly. Our partnership with Information Now! guarantees you will never miss a call!
Don't risk your privacy and identity theft by listing your home phone number on the internet.
You can use your toll-free extension in any other advertisement that you choose to run (i.e. a local newspaper ad), at no additional cost to you.
If that isn't enough, we can send you an e-mail notification (along with that caller's phone number) every time a prospective buyer calls about your home (additional fee applies).
Buyer prequalification services
Unless you find a cash buyer, your buyer will need a mortgage. So it
makes sense to utilize a mortgage broker's services -- after all this
is what they do! As a Participating Colleague of the LocalHomesForSale.com®
real estate network, we are able to coordinate this vital service through
their affiliated mortgage brokers. In conjunction with Information Now!,
we notify those locally affiliated mortgage brokers that a potential
buyer has called about your home. The broker will then contact your potential
buyer and offer them the use of their services.

Professional Signage
Did you know that approximately 14% of all homes sold are due to the
presence of a yard sign? A real estate sign can be an effective tool
to motivate buyers to call on your home first, especially if there are
several other homes for sale in your neighborhood. Remember, buyers are
more interested in "what's in it for me?" With a plain old
FSBO or typical Agent sign there is absolutely no "what's in it
for me" factor to motivate a buyer to call with the average real
estate sign. Our professional yard signs show home shoppers that you
know what you’re doing. For example: You have a toll-free number
that allows them to hear all about your home, your home can be seen on
the internet, and most importantly, that their investment in your home
is protected with a
home warranty!
LocalHomesForSale.com®
directional signs are another vital component that is provided to help
you market your home. These mini billboards can be placed on major thoroughfares
for those home shoppers who are unable to turn and go see your home at
that moment or write down your address & phone number while they’re
driving.
Home Warranty
You can provide every Home Buyer with piece of mind by offering them
a 13 Mo. Home Warranty 
from Home Warranty of America (HWA)®. The industry’s best warranty, it covers almost
everything in your home for a period of 13 months and best of
all, you don't have to pay for it until closing!
Advantages to including this 13-month warranty as part of your marketing strategy include:
- Sell your home faster -- homes with a warranty statistically sell up to 50% faster than those without
- Keep more of your equity-- homes with a warranty statistically sell for 3% closer to the asking price
- Don't play the blame game -- homes with a warranty protect sellers after the sale
While
there is no obligation to obtain a warranty for your home, offering one
gives you a competitive edge those offering their homes without. We market
this service as available to buyers who want to protect their investment.
You can protect yourself from unexpected repairs during the selling process
by opting for the free seller's coverage offered through Home
Warranty of America (HWA)®. It offers up to 180 days of coverage (some
restrictions apply) while you're marketing your home For Sale By
Owner.
This can be a valuable tool while negotiating your sale price. Don't gamble with your home repairs -- take the hassle out of buying and selling a home. YOUR BEST VALUE?
