3 Alternative Ways to Sell Your House
Selling a home can be just as stressful as buying one. What’s more, selling a house is far more costly than most people realize. It actually takes money to sell your house for the best price and in the best possible timeframe. And this is thanks to home renovation projects, realtor fees, home staging, and more.
In short, selling a home is not for the faint-hearted, so the quicker the process is, the less stress for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a few non-traditional yet helpful ways to sell your house, check out this blog for more.
- Offer a Move-In Trial Run
Allowing perfect strangers to move into your home for the weekend might sound like a crazy idea. But if you have a potential buyer who is on the cusp of making an offer, this is one of the best ways to get that swing vote.
Yes, it’s not traditional, but it shows you are sincere when selling a good-quality home. It doesn’t have to be a full weekend either — maybe just one night if you’re more comfortable with that.
This idea also works well if you have a close friend or family member who is looking to buy in your area. By offering up your home for a ”trial run” to a buyer who is on-the-fence, this could be the final confirmation that they need to make an offer. You might even get a cash offer!
A move-in trial run allows them to get a true feel of your home and the neighborhood, which could be exactly what they need to sway their decision.
- Reach Out to Your Neighbors
Your neighbors are a powerful tool in the sale of your home. Why? Because they know the area just as well as you do, making them the perfect salespeople to help you get your home off the market.
To add to this, your neighbors have an untapped network of people that might be looking and willing to buy in your neighborhood. This is also another brilliant way to avoid setting up an open home or home staging for a vast number of people — just your neighbors. In other words, you don’t have to work as hard to show it and sell it.
Your neighbors also have a vested interest in who actually buys your home too. This is because it affects their quality-of-life and the neighborhood they live in! So you can be almost guaranteed that they will do their best to source good quality buyers.
- Harness the Power of Social Media
Ah, Facebook. Where would we be today without it? The pervasive nature of social media means that it’s easier than ever to spread information at a rapid rate. So why not advertise your home for sale on this platform, and throw in a reward while you’re at it, too?
When you advertise your home for sale, let your Facebook contacts know that you are offering a monetary reward for sharing your post, if it leads to a sale. This reward could be in the form of a gift card, cash, or a shopping voucher.
Just make sure you update your privacy settings to ”public” for this particular type of post so that it can be shared by as many people as possible. Another great idea is to invest some money in Facebook ads to help promote your home sale.
Get to Know Your Real Estate Market
If you want to sell your house in a reasonable timeframe, for the best possible price, the best thing you can do is get to know your local real estate market. It also helps to understand the ins and outs of real estate selling and buying.
