craigslist is a good place too.
I'm not a realtor, nor related to one, but I've got to tell you I'd think twice about the ';no realtor'; thing for several reasons:


the MLS listing is essential for getting a property sold in this kind of market especially;


realtors are HUNGRY--literally--and anyone working with a buyer's agent is not very likely to SEE your property as the realtor needs to be paid by someone--typically the seller;


real estate commissions ARE negotiable, so you might be able to get a good lister for less commission.





You have to be careful about what and how you advertise--you're allowed some ';puffery,'; but material misrepresentations will cost you far more than a commission possibly could. There ARE sort of ';a la carte'; realtors who offer specific services for a fee--like getting you on the MLS--and you should consider at least that route.





Outside of that, options include:





signage out front if your zoning allows for that





ads in newspapers--freebies through your largest circulation one





radio spots





posting on Craigslist, bulletin boards in the area, at work if you can





letting your neighbors, friends, and co-workers know as sometimes someone knows a person who wants to buy a house





Things like TV spots or mass mailers are expensive and how would you target anyone who's likely to buy? Not a good bang for the buck.





You can try an auction--advertise in the other places noted--but again, getting the price you want is not too likely in this market.





Beyond advertising, what is really at least AS important, is the quality of your house. No one wants to buy a ';to do'; list--you need curb appeal, you need the fresh paint, clean floors or new flooring, cabinets and countertops in good condition, no plumbing or electrical problems, an incredibly clean house, etc. You should also do yourself a favor and shell out for a home inspection and repair anything wrong. If you have a lot of things to remedy, then get an inspection again AFTER that so you can use that as a tremendous plus when marketing the house--here's one you don't have to worry about and spend a fortune fixing.





You should also plan on offering a year's homeowner's warranty as with American Home Shield or such so, again, some of the worries of a new home are taken off the backs of a potential buyer.





If you insist on no realtor, you should shell out for a real estate attorney to close the deal. Really. (Not an attorney nor related to one either, just have owned three houses and helped sell a few others.)
