Out-of-the-Box Selling Ideas
I caught this recent post at Bigger Pockets written by a commenter, Linda P., who’s a real estate agent. Want the “insider” tips she’s using? You can view the entire post here.
My favorite line? Directly from Linda: “Again, these are some secrets from my full service listings, but you can do this stuff yourself…..it’s easy!” That’s right from the horse’s mouth, folks. I’m not making this sell-it-yourself stuff up.
Here’s another clip, detailing the suggested strategies:
” I suggest you hire a niece or nephew to do a lemonade stand out front on weekends. Do an open house behind their set up at the same time. Neighbors happen to know people/relatives who want to live in the neighborhood!
This one gets a ton of calls….put a sign….offering a “free cruise” (get a free 3-day/2-night certificate from one of those time share companies) for the buyer if they buy your house.
Go to the local supermarkets and WalMart and fill out those courtesy bulletin board cards…..
Fax [your home's info] to HR departments of local employers for relocation purposes…that’s what I do.”
