I just got an article in my Google alerts, our good old friends at Write About Property have been giving us a bit of free advertising. Even if I do say it myself it is well deserved.

The article, titled Private Property Sales: Estate Agents £4,000 Private £29 centred around the fact that the estate agents fee, now far less flexible and fixed at the 2.5% mark is likely putting some people off selling their house, and how these people should try selling their property privately at fees such as the £29 charged by Zungalow.

It's true: when you're house has lost £30,000 off its value, paying £4,000 to sell it does stick in your throat.

One other good point the article makes though is: who cares about selling your house for the best price more than you do?

The answer is no one. When you have only spent £29 to have hundreds of potential buyers viewing your property every week on Zungalow, it leaves plenty of room for additional and possibly creative marketing, like as the article suggested embossing an image of your house onto the side of your transit van.

That sounds a bit whacky, but what about buying a page in the local paper or a board at the local football ground -- use your imagination.

The truth is, if your property is priced realistically it will sell through Zungalow, these other methods are just suggestions to try and accelerate the process. It is also worth mentioning that when you decide to sell your house privately you also have to do things like making your own for sale sign.
