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. Don’t create an advertisement like the ads for every other house in the area. Turn a spotlight on something different about your home. You will attract interested buyers willing to pay full price. SELLING TO INTERESTED BUYERS Find something unique about your home and build advertisements around that one item. It will catch people’s attention. Buyers who are looking for that one item will ask to come see your home in person. As a result, you will stop wasting time showing to people who are not interested. Instead, you will be showing your home to buyers who are motivated to make a purchase. You won’t have to show quite so often. You also won’t have to sift through lowball offers from apathetic buyers. Less stress for you. Take time to uncover your home’s most attractive and unique features. Compare notes with other houses in the neighborhood to see what makes yours stand out.
