So finishing up my first flip put the granite in the kitchen glass tile backsplash looks nice ..too nice for the area but not the point .I decided to try and sell this house on my own since I'm splitting the profit 4 ways and don't see what a seller agent does except put the property on the mls and collects 3%. So I decided to just list it on FB market place with just 2 pictures of the finished kitchen since the rest of the house is not finished in the first 2 days I got 50 replies mostly asking the price since I didn't list one after a week I reposted about the same result I've posted it a total of 3 times probably have close to 120 people that contacted me 2 or 3 that are really pushing for a showing if I don't sell to one of them I will group message everyone for an open house I'd be surprised if I didn't have 15 to 20 people show up for what was free advertisement! I will let you guys know what happens also there are 100 post on CL of "we buy houses" 0 on FB I'm not a Whole seller but maybe I should throw it up there and see what happens

    I was amazed at the traffic I received when listing my rental on FB marketplace! I had a great turnout at the open house, to weed out any non-qualifiers they first had to fill out an application via Google forms and once they passed the test I responded to them with the open house times.
