thorough investigation.
What he found changed everything. The house had a gorgeous five-acre yard. Other houses being sold in the area were all on one- to two-acre lots. Not only was the yard bigger, it was more private than other lots available. The new real estate agent marketed the five acres. He mentioned details and a description of the house, but the house was not the main selling point. He shifted attention to the five-acre lot. In no time, his phone rang! A buyer was relocating and had noticed the house was for sale, but it hadn’t caught his eye. That changed suddenly when the buyer learned it was built on a five-acre lot. He submitted an offer from 1,000 miles away, never having seen the property in person. He was afraid someone else would buy it before he could, and he would lose out on the perfect house. That sale happened in 45 days. The builder was amazed! His house had been on the market close to eight months without so much as a nibble. Suddenly it was sold. Purchased sight unseen, all because of the 80/20 rule. For a short time, this “unsellable” house became the hottest house on the market.
