While your Realtor is waiting on your photos, he/she won't be idle. They will be marketing the home to other realtors who may have ready, willing, and able buyers on hand. They'll evaluate what marketing plan makes sense for your situation and home:

• Send “Just Listed” e-cards to all the local realtors

• Conduct a broker’s open house

• Schedule and advertise back-to-back open house to take place the Saturday and Sunday after the home hits the market

• Canvas the neighborhood letting neighbors know about the pending listing and open house

• Create and print professional brochures

• Install a visible and attractive For Sale sign on the property

• Order professional flyers for details on the home

• Put a lockbox on the home for showings (If agreed)

• FaceBook Advertising 

• And much much more!
