CHAPTER 5 Relating The 80/20 Rule to Home Selling

Understanding this concept can save you time and frustration in selling your home. When you use the 80/20 rule, you stop trying to sell people on the entire home. In applying the rule, you can highlight the 20% of your home’s features that make it special. The remaining 80% of your home still affects the buyer’s decision, so you don’t want to neglect it, but you also don’t have to spend a lot of time or money to improve it. Your selling point won’t be the common features your home shares with the other properties on the market. Focus on your home’s unique features to grab the attention of buyers.

THE 80/20 RULE IN ACTION: BUYERS ARE SEARCHING FOR UNIQUE FEATURES

Spotlight the unique features of your home that set it apart from others on the market. You will attract interested buyers who are willing to pay the asking price. What does your home or property have to offer that other homes in the area do not? Perhaps you have a relaxing patio or lush landscaping that will catch a buyer’s eye — whatever you find, play it up and the house will move.
