It doesn't matter whether you are selling your own home on your own or if you are a real estate agent selling homes, it's a good idea that you have something that you can hand out to people to get them interested in coming by to see the home. Usually real estate flyers will do the trick. They can contain a lot of valuable information for the prospective buyers and can easily be done by you for a lot less money that at a print shop.
You will need to think about what you want to do before you jump in and start creating. You need to first figure out what buyers market you are trying to reach. Make sure that you use language that will invite that particular market you are trying to reach. Warning though, you should be very careful how you word things, you definitely don't want to look like you are deliberately discriminating against people. A good example is if you are wanting to attract seniors then make sure that you write about things in a manner in which seniors are going to relate to.
Some things you will need to consider before you start making the flyer is what kind of font you are going to want and how big you want it. Do you want your flyer to be glossy or printed on matte finish paper. On top of that you need to make the flyer appealing and interesting giving plenty of information without being cluttered looking and overwhelming for the reader. You need it to be informative as well as easy for the buyer to read.
The information that you include should answer all of the questions concerning what, why, who, when and so on. You need to of course let them know where it is, including the full address and directions on how to get to the home to view it. You may even want to include neighborhood information.
You know the prospective buyer is going to want to see the home so make sure you include if the home is occupied or if it's vacant. You will need to let them know if they will have to call for an appointment and with whom should they get in contact with.
You will also need to include all the reasons why a person would want to buy the home. You will need to list all of it's perks. This should include the perks of the home as well as any perks that the community or neighborhood might have as well. List if it's near a beach, a river, a park, schools, etc. Anything that might interest the buyer into coming out and seeing the home.
When it comes to photos, make sure that they are kept to a minimum. Of course make sure you include a picture of the outside of the home, but other things keep down as much as possible. If you think however, that a few pictures to show off some amenities is necessary then go ahead and include some, but try to avoid overdoing it. Content is more important.
Take all of your information and transfer it all into a desktop program that will help you organize your information. Once done, do a good once over for mistakes and print out your copies. Make sure to save the original until the house sells.
