Using EBAY to sell real estate

By: Russell Volk
Monday, March 19, 2007 12:21 PM

Hello everybody,

has anyone ever tried selling a property through Ebay?  I have a listing that's close to $600K and was just wondering if it makes sense.  If you ever tried this route, please share your experience.

Thanks in advance,

Your Bucks County, PA Real Estate Agent.

Ebay, yes once. Got tons of hits on a log cabin style house that was unique in our area in town. Mostly did it though because the seller had alot of pride in their house and expected it to sell real fast. Just to show the seller I was trying everything I could I listed on Ebay. They were impressed even though it did not sell that route.

Ebay can be a great place to post a unique home, or any home in an area that draws tourists, second-home buyers, retirees. As an auctioneer, I find it invaluable because I'm reaching an audience that is already seeking great deals via auction. I use it as an ad for my upcoming home auctions. In checking my website traffic, eBayers are always in the top 5 sources of hits to my website.

I have not tried it yet but I am going to this week.

It cost $150 for 30 days  or $300 for 90 days.

Always have the potential to get other leads if you do not sell the home you have on Ebay.

Look through the message boards for a post by Vance Remele. He told about a success that he had.  There was an article about it in the Florida Association of REALTORS monthly magazine. Here's the on-line version http://www.floridarealtors.org/FLRealtorMagazine/2007/SolutionsGuide/PromotionalSG07.cfm

I got this and thought it might help. The website is http://www.RapidResales.com

RapidResales invites you to take part in its beta testing program.

What is a beta version?

A product's beta is an officially released version of a product to a select group of users. The beta version is intended for external testing of the product in order to identify configurations that cause problems, as well as collect requirements and suggestions from users.

Before its official release, a beta version ALWAYS undergoes a full cycle of internal testing, after which the application is sufficiently stable in the majority of computing environments.

Please note that a beta version is NOT the final version of the product and therefore the developer does not guarantee an absence of errors that may disrupt the computer's operation and/or result in data loss.

Consequently, beta testers use the beta version at their own risk and RapidResales bears no responsibility for any consequences arising out of the use of the beta version.

Participating in beta testing enables you to:

• be among the first to gain access to the latest versions of RapidResales solutions and share your opinion with us;

• help RapidResales improve the quality of the product being tested;

• provide your suggestions on possible ways of improving the product;

• free technical support;

• collaborate directly with developers and other beta testers using dedicated sections of our forum; and,

• receive discounted membership (80% OFF) for as long as your account is active.

When taking part in the beta testing it is necessary to:

• spend a certain amount of time on familiarizing yourself with the product and testing it;

• prepare and send out bug reports on any errors found;

• provide suggestions on ways to improve the product being tested; and,

• report on compatibility issues (specifically related to your configuration) in a timely manner.

Reporting problems:

• To report an error, please provide a detailed description of the ways in which it manifests itself on your system,

• the steps which lead up to the error and

• characteristics of the hardware used for testing.

• Send your description to the email address specified on the page containing the description of the beta version you are testing.

• You can also report problems and get your questions answered in our forum.

• You can also use this procedure to provide your suggestions on improving the product.
