Real Estate Listing doesn’t have to be a back-breaking experience. It doesn’t have to be expensive either. Countless people have listed real estate property for little to no money, and a majority of these people are likely to have listed their properties on the Internet according to Findmyroof.com. The web site offers its users 100% free nationwide real estate listing service in the United States. Some of the places where real estate listings can be posted are in real estate directory sites, Internet classified advertising listings, and auction sites. Furthermore, some independent real estate agents will even have their own websites created where they will showcase some of their finest properties for sale. Real estate and investment properties can also be listed in many local news publications which have classified ads in them, and these advertisements are usually published in print form and on the Web.
Listing a home online is very easy. All a person usually needs to do is register for a free account, or pay for a real estate listing account either as a one-time monthly fee or per listing. Then, they will put all the information requested in the required fields on the real estate entry page. Usually if a person needs help with listing a piece of real estate online they can find it by reading the FAQ section of a site, or the Help section of a site. In some cases further real estate listing assistance is offered via e-mail, or even by phone. When a person lists a home, recreation property, business, or other item online it is important to offer as much details as possible about that particular real estate. This means that descriptions of homes included on a real estate site should indicate details such as how many rooms, baths, or garage stalls a home may have.
Furthermore, any extras that the home may have with it that are included such as pool, new kitchen appliances, sauna, bar, deck, fireplace, basement, recreation room, and so forth should also be listed. The type of home that it is should also be listed as well. For example, potential buyers need to know if it is a ranch style home, cottage, two-story home, townhouse, condo, or other type of residence. The square footage of a home should usually also be included in a home listing.
Business and commercial real estate should include similar details, such as how many bathrooms it is or how many acres of land are included. The square footage of the property should also be indicated as well, and whether or not the building is new, used, or just recently renovated. Usually it is good for a real estate sales person to also include a floor plan of the entire commercial property. For investment property such as hotels, cottages, resorts, or amusement parks, the same principles would apply when listing that item for sale on the Internet.
In addition to all of the above, usually when a seller lists a building, piece of property, home, or resort for sale there usually is information posted about the exact location or address of a place. Furthermore, extensive photo or video coverage of a building or property usually is displayed which further helps buyers know what they would be buying. Contact information would also be necessary to include in case the buyer wants to make contact with the seller about the property or real estate for sale.

Quit claim advice please?
This is apt to be long winded so please bear with me. About 5 years ago my parents and I came to the agreement that if I paid off their land contract, they would sell me their house for $1. The balance was about $3500 on a $22k house. This would ensure they would have a place to live despite unscrupulous family members attempts to sell it off from under them. Which my parents knew could and would happen if given the chance. I didn’t want the house and told them I would donate it to the fire department once they either passed away, or weren’t able to live there due to health reasons. But until then, it was still their house. I was living in Florida at the time, so I had a friend of mine who worked at a title company handle everything for me, and send me what I needed to sign. Everything was done legally. I paid off the land contract they had, paid for all the title work, transfer fees, and whatever else I had to pay. Since then, my dad has developed Alzheimer’s disease which has gotten severe, and my mom passed away a little over 2 years ago. At that time, I told my brother and sister I owned the house since 2003 or 2004 (I can’t remember exactly) and that I would sell the house and split it 3 ways, because mom would have liked that, ON THE CONDITION that they both commit time and money to help me fix it to be sold. This was a verbal agreement only. This was 2007. At some point last year, I’m not sure when, my sister bought a crummy trailer house next to hers in the same trailer park. Late last year she moved my dad and older brother out of "dads" house and into the trailer. She didn’t contact me and let me know even. I found out when I went to check on them because no one was answering the phone. I found the house a disaster area. Everything had been ransacked, and everything of value (which wasn’t much) was gone. She, or they, even took all of the fluorescent light bulbs out of the fixtures. That’s when and how I found out she moved them out. I received a notice in the mail to appear in court for a guardianship hearing pertaining to my father. My sister was after his pension and social security. In court and under oath, she stated the house was in terrible condition, was not fit to live in, etc… Seems she said it should be condemned, but I can’t recall to be honest. So I took this as "No" they were not going to help me fix it to sell it. After the hearing I told me girlfriend I was going to donate it to the fire department for training. she talked me out of it and said she could sell it to help pay he sons college tuition. He’s a very good kid, so I agreed, and sold it to her for the same sum of $1. Last week we located a real estate agent and listed the property. Shortly after that, my sister drove by, seen the sign, and called the agent wanting to know "Who is selling my dads house?!!", the agent filled her in the the owners name (my girlfriend), and now she is calling me threatening litigation, saying "I have the original land contract showing every payment made…", "I should do what dads attorney says and take it to prosecution…". I guess what I need to know is, how can I make her go away? I work, have my own house, a mortgage, and other responsibilities. All I want the rest of the family to do is leave me alone. Simple. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this pitiful story.

Wow that was a mouthful. If I understand correctly he put you on title in the event anything happened. Your siblings moved dad out and crapped up the house. Then you sold the property for $1 to your friend, and now you sister wants to sue you.
If I got that correct then she can go pound sand. You were the owner along with your father (who I hope is now with you I missed that if you said it)
If she persists I would get a restraining order so she can no longer bother you. If she persists by trying to send you to court then I would contact a lawyer in that area and see if they can appear on your behalf so you don’t have to go, then counter-sue her for their fee after you pay it.
Sorry you have to deal with that and I hope your dad is with you and okay. Oh and you may want to re post this in the legal department to see what measures you can take against your families retaliation.
