A 2010 survey by the National Association of REALTORS indicated that 74% of buyers used the Internet to learn about the properties they are interested in, 22% relied on yard signs and another 9% used newspaper ads. As an owner choosing to self list, it is crucial you use all three of these mediums in an effective marketing campaign for your property.
