Trulia only accepts listings that are represented by a broker/agent. If you have an agent, have the agent do it. As an owner, you may create an ad in the blog section, and even upload photos and videos along with posting links.

Whether you are represented by an agent or not, the blog attached to the link below may be of some interest to you. While it is directed to FSBOs, even if you are represented, there are even some ideas in it that you could possibly use to augment your agent's marketing plan. Please if represented, always keep your agent abreast of anything you do on your own, and use your agent for the contact person. Good luck.

Rocco,

As a general statement I would agree real estate professionals pay to agressively market your home, themselves, and as required by State laws, their real estate company on numerous online and print sources.

If you would like someone to discuss this with you, I would be glad to forward your contact information to a local agent. Simply contact me through my profile.

Just for your knowledge, Realcomp MLS out of Farmington Hills is a data sharing partner with Flint's MLS FAAR. Your home could be marketed by both MLS's thereby increasing your exposure.

Will this guarantee your home sells? No, because each home must be marketed in accordance with Four Factors. The Market in your area, The Condition of your home, Your agents Marketing efforts, and Your Asking Price. If one of those cornerstones of marketing is not correct, your home may not sell.

You can search for homes in your immediate neighborhood on the website below. See what your competition is currently asking.
