Question
PLEASE, Can you help me find the best website TO PRIVATELY ADVERTISE MY HOUSE FOR SALE in SCOTLAND..?
Hello - I'm in need of selling my house and not keen at all to pay an estate agent to do something I'm able and willing to do myself. Im asking for anyone with experience of privately selling their own home in the United Kingdom, and especially in Scotland to get intouch sahring with me as much info as possible about their experience. Specifically where did they advertise it online? I'm aware I have to purchase a HIPS, and I'm more than capable writing a detailed description of the house and taking great photographs to show it off for potential buyers to peruse online (as I'm a photographer) and I can manage the dressing/presenting of the house to viewers, take telephone and email enquiries. I have a great solicitor and will do everyhting above board, but I simply don't feel that an estate agent will work anywhere near as hard as I will at selling my house to for the best price these days. I ahve had a few evaluations from local estate agents and they come across as really greedy to sell it no matter how cheaply as many of then take a set fee regardless of the final sale price. And for what? They seem to be (with respect) a bunch of lazy know it alls. Any estate agents reading this please don't be offended, as no offence is meant. But you come into my home and tell me what to do with the biggest material asset in my life, and you do it a bullying aloof manner. So I'd rather sweat and do whatever it takes; working hard for myself rather than sit back and allow an estae agent to take a chunk of money that I have worked extremely hard to earn. - I'm an intelliegent person and I am simply keen as punch to make my own private sale and hopefully be a small part of the solution to get rid of these greedy estate agents from the streets. They've made millions from selling our house for too long. Enough! - My home is bright, clean, fresh, welcoming, cosy, exc location, tree lined street, etc so I know it will go like 'snow off a dyke' with a little decent exposure in the world of online advertising. I dont need useless glossy brochures, and I DONT NEED TO PAY ESTATE AGENTS TWICE THE ACTUAL GOING RATE FOR MY HIPS EITHER. My house will sell if I can just get one buyer... lol Obviously! Can you dear yahoo-er help me here? Best regards to all who've had the patience to read my question to the end. Cheers!!!!

I totally agree about estate agent fees etc they are a rip off but then again they take care of what you are looking for. Advertising, contacts, introductions.
Yes you can sell yourself but it isnt easy. There are a lot of sites where you can advertise for a fee. look for any FSBO sites. Use Gumtree and anyother place you can find. Ebay isnt a bad suggestion either but make sure you say the listing is for people to show interest only etc.
Ads in local paper, perhaps get the local reporter to do a little story on the whole exercise which will get you more publicity. Good Luck with the whole thing I hope you have a successful outcome.

Sell it on ebay USA!! Quite honestly, I see many Europeans list on there to sell to Americans and they usually always sell!! I would give it a shot. Make sure to take really good pictures inside and out, and be very discriptive!! Also, info about the town you are in. But yeah, us Americans are suckers for a little bit of Euro anything!!
