Axe the Agent is a new show on The Lifestyle Channel which follows homeowners who try to sell their homes without going through a real estate agent. In the show the homeowners get advice on presenting the property and marketing ideas from ex real estate agent Jonny Benarr and property developer Gary McCausland. In addition to the conventional ways of marketing the property for sale such as internet listings and for sale signs homeowners use more unusual techniques such as town criers and gallery exhibits.

FSBO must haves #1 – For Sale sign
Monday, June 8th, 2009Selling your own home is not that difficult but in order for the sale to happen buyers must know that your property is on the market.
Despite the many technological advances made in recent years the humble for sale sign is still one of the most effective ways of marketing your property. Think about it, how many real estate agents advertise a property for sale without a for sale board out the front?
Many buyers will drive around a neighbourhood that they are thinking of buying in, either viewing other properties or just checking out the area to get a sense of local amenities etc. A for sale sign is on view 24 hours a day 7 days a week letting these buyers know that your home is on the market.
It is important that the for sale sign presents a positive image of the property for sale. A cheap badly designed sign says that the owner is not really interested in selling or doesn’t like spending money (including on home maintenance!) smartvendor can help by providing professionally designed and printed FSBO for sale signs.
