5 Tried and Tested Marketing Strategies in Getting a House Sold Quickly
People want it done for different reasons.
Job relocation is one as well as divorce, an urgent need for cash and death in the family.
As a real estate investor myself, I have encountered lots of deals from $5000 to $5,000,000 homes.
I have therefore learned truly effective sales strategies in getting houses sold fast and earning a steady stream of profits.
Let me share with you these 5 tried and tested techniques that I myself use up to this day.
·One way to sell a house that has been in the market for a long time is to motivate the real estate agents.
I have learned that reducing the price of the house in order to make it more attractive to buyers doesn't work much.
Instead, increasing the commission of the agents is a better way of getting fast action in selling a property.
Inform all agents about your new commission scheme and you'll see that they would be scrambling to get your house sold quickly for higher commissions.
·Make a good first impression with your ads.
This is the time to let your creative juices flowing in presenting the property to the market.
Think of a good differentiation and marketing strategy and think how the property that you're selling stands out from the others.
Put your best foot forward and let the buyers know of all the best features of the property.
Inform buyers about nearby malls and recreational facilities as well as other benefits of living in that particular neighborhood.
Don't just write "House for Sale" in your ad, but use creative phrases like "Modern Opulence" or "Twilight Cottage".
·In selling an old property, try to find a very valuable piece of item that you can add along with the house.
A vintage car would be nice or a flat screen television.
A house that's near a golf course would be more attractive if you include a golf cart with the property.
Think of what item you can add to encourage buyers to call you and schedule an appointment.
·Make the house very presentable inside and out.
A nice paint job and a well-tended lawn will look very attractive.
Most buyers choose a house for image and lifestyle apart from need.
Make the property more appealing by improving its look and image.
·Apart from higher commissions, you can also motivate real estate agents by giving them an extra bonus such as a cruise or trip some place far.
If you're a real estate investor, you can buy a cruise in advance when it's on sale, and then tell your agents that the tickets will expire soon so they need to sell the property if they want to avail of the vacation package you are offering.
These marketing strategies have really helped me as a real estate investor.
Selling a house may not always be easy but it can be done with the right attitude and great marketing techniques.
Everyone deserves a chance to earn huge profits, and selling real estate certainly leads to great money-making opportunities.
