3 Surefire Ways To Sell Your homes On Steroids,
So you have decided to sell your estate?
If you are looking at the option of selling your home or just to create a lot of leads who are HOT prospects to buy your home then this article is definitely for you.
Before, I start sharing my 3 steroid concepts on marketing your homes; you need to take a little simple step...
PREPARATION
1. It is vital to locate and interview an aggressive Mortgage Broker with high knowledge and GREAT TRACK RECORD of closing deals, particularly difficult ones.
The importance of having a broker on your power team cannot be underestimated. I own and run Colorado real estate (http://www.griffinsellshomes.com) in my area, so each time I receive news that a member got a difficult deal closed, I always guaranteed t~A34567890-inquire for an introduction, since this might be the broker who can get most of my deals funded.
Don’t forget that you can sell a home ten times if you can't get a mortgage company to fund the buyer you are just wasting your time.
2. Endeavor to make a few efforts in renovating the home up; even if it's hunkered, I will still cut the lawn and perhaps throw a coat of paint on the home. You'd be surprised at the upgrading to even an ugly property, with just a modest coat of paint on the front of the property.
3. Visit your local community financing office or local grant and home buyer bond office. Some states run a FREE class for your buyers on being a first time home buyer and when they attend the class, and then they get a voucher from the state, offering them $10,000.00 when they buy their first home. The good part is at times the loans are even forgiven when some criteria are met by the new homeowner.
LET'S DO SOME MARKETING ON STEROIDS
To be honest, you are going to have to be more aggressive, smarter and be persistent more than 99% of all your homes neighbors.
There is no magic pill here, however, this has been working for me and my students, for over a year, and as always we are testing and fine-tuning the system.
And I can assure you, that while every other investor, is sitting with their heads in their butts, my students and I are capable to sell off all our properties, during one of the worst real estate slowdowns in times past, and these properties were in one of the most depressed markets in the Country.
1. Buyer First System
Ultimately you create your own buyers. The best instance would be changing a lifetime tenant into the American Dream homeowner. Just so happens, that while achieving the American Dream, they likewise end up buying your home.
Simply, create a circular or postcard, and sell to communities of people who would be a great prospect to buy your home.
Is there anyone who doesn’t want to be a homeowner in America? Anyway, that's a silly question, every person wants to be a homeowner, and it's bred into us as kids.
The actual key is you must recognize, that these people renting, many believe that they CAN'T get a mortgage. In the past, they might have tried but were shut down and maybe embarrassed, only to be certain that they would live the rest of their lives as a TENANT.
The best leads you can focus on are these ones since it's not a matter of IF they'll buy your home, of course, they will, the important thing is can you get them funded or is it the right house for them, financially reasonable.
It is important to share with you too, this approach will cost you some time and initiative because there is some level of influence involved, mortgage brokers, and assisting them to get any government assistance First time as homebuyer money.
2. Fish in someone else's pond!
Visit where the greatest number of prospects is for your home. I will give you some examples, you need to visit where the best and the most prospects are to buy your home, supposing it's a good deal (valued right, and there's still built-in equity for your buyer).
If you have any contacts or any mutual friend, now is the time for using it and your prospects are for these contacts to open doors for you, to their sphere of influence.
For Instance, one of my students, leveraged a contact he had, his cousin (a middle school teacher), and she brought him into the schools, where it just occurred that the schools are in the same area, that he was selling a great starter home.
He sold the home that he desired most, but then, when word spread of what he was able to do, the rest of the teachers came out all over, wanting him to assist them. Ever since he assist the 1st teacher, sold another 5 homes, to 5 other teachers, making more than $30,000.00 for this simple, leveraged relationship.
So which of the ponds can you fish in, with your marketing? Just visualize whom you know (friends, family members, and associates etc.)?
BEST: Bus Drivers, Teachers, Cops, Firefighters, Department of Transportation, Government Employees. (These professions are adored by lenders, they mostly have good credit, and bearing in mind that their income is essentially guaranteed and very stable.)
GOOD: Large local employers: Local telephone company (Bell South), Supermarkets, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc.
3. Use the Internet...
You should certainly have an individual website for your property like us at (http://www.griffinsellshomes.com)
You can get a simple site built for under $100.00. www.elance.com or www.rentacoder.com are two great sites, for setting up your site, both are similar to EBay. You post an auction about your project (creating home website), and then freelancers and companies bid on your job, and it gives room to see samples of their work and read all their feedback for past clients, after you sure who to give the project, then you hired the person. And by the way, these services are absolutely FREE. Just take few pictures with a good camera of your home and email them to the website designer, to publish on your site.
You treat this as an online, digital brochure, basically being able to do whatever you can conceive. You can take a video of the home, with you walking through the home and then have it placed on your site.
On the chance that you feel intimidated by video, like I was at first, don't feel that way, because your website designer can easily do it for you.
At present, whenever you talk to someone on the phone or in person, they can easily take a look at your property online. Trust me this will be the best $100.00 you will ever spend on marketing of your home.
4. BONUS: Promote and hold your own, "First Time Homebuyer Seminar".
Before you start looking at possibility of this not happening, I don't expect you to be like Tony Robbins, if you can get at least 10 to 15 people in a room, you are going to be successful.
My mentoring students have tried this strategy and it's been working outstandingly for them, from the results I've been getting from my future millionaires. In actual fact, one of my students from Miami has been executing this strategy like gangbusters.
Before I start putting up this article, I received approval from my Miami friends to share some of his feedback with you, on the Homebuyer seminars that have made him very successful.
He is presently doing a 1 month, every month. Besides, since he's has some who are successful under him belt, he's currently selling sponsorship space to his seminars, to credit repair companies, Mortgage brokers, and also has worked out a joint venture with two different realtors, that pay him for every property they sell to one of his leads.
On the chance that you want to know how he is filling the room, they are as follows...
- Flyers in Parking lots, like Wal-Mart, Publix Supermarkets, and local churches.
- Craiglist.com Free Advertising
- Bandit style symbols on roadside, 18 x 24 ridged plastic signs.
- Build a website for the seminar where attendees, can pre-register
Giving out an ethical bribe for attending the seminar; like giving them a few nooks and tapes just for coming to the event. The good part is he got the books for free on the internet, and he is also permitted to give them away for free as well as rebrand them as his own books.
