Tiffany & CO Outlet0How To Find A Buyer In 15 Days |
|
can use this strategy to find a retail buyer for a house you've already rehabbed, a tenant-buyer for a lease option [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a straight renter to fill a vacancy. When I refer to the term "buyer" below, I'm referring to anyone that's going to move into or take the property off of your hands.
1. Determine who your "target buyer" is. You need to take some time to determine who you're really trying to sell to! There are dozens of types of retail buyers: first time homebuyers, retirees, 2nd home buyers, move up buyers, etc. And each buyer has certain things that are important to him/her that can be selling features of your particular property.
2. Figure out what's important to them... and give it to them [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! This is where you're going to want to look at staging your deals and making them look their best! Yes, you want to do this even if your buyer is the rehab investor because people are human and they still see the junk in front of them. Get into the minds of your buyer and imagine what they'll be DOING once they get into your property.
For example, if you're selling to a first time homebuyer in a bread and butter neighborhood, stage the house for small children and some light entertaining. Paint a picture of what life would be like if they were living in your property!
3. Stage the Property. This may seem like a waste of time and a waste of money, but when you do it right, you can get it done for a fraction of ONE MONTH'S payment! Even if you're just flipping the contract, it could mean the difference between closing the deal and NOT closing the deal [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Again, stage appropriately to the person that's buying! For example, here are some sample photos of staging for the buyer. In this example, the buyer is likely young family or a first home.
You can see how to add little touches that appeal to your end buyer. In the entry-way, we placed an alligator pool toy for fun. In the master bathroom, we used soft, rich colors and added a few touches to make the room inviting. Upstairs, in one of the kids' rooms, we laid created a "Florida State" theme room. Again, the property was located in Florida and we were marketing during college football season.
4. Hold An "Event" to Get People Through the Door. I'm not talking your standard old open house. You need to do something creative... Consider having a theme party, or a neighborhood block party and really marketing the heck out of the event. For instance, in the summer, have a 4th of July party or in November, hold a "Food Drive" open house.
When you do a property event the "right" way, you'll find that you can easily get 20, 30, often times more than 50 people through the door in a single weekend. Keep in mind, to do it right, you'll need to set up - and execute - and entire marketing campaign to sell the property. It's not enough to just stick some 'Open House' signs in the front yard and expect dozens of ready, willing, able and qualified buyers to stampede through the front door.
5. Follow Up. It doesn't matter if you get a contract onsite or not, you'll want to follow up with everyone that showed up or even just called on the property. This will help you secure a contract AND several backups. Plus, you'll build a buyers list of people ready to move on the right deal when they find it. Here are the follow up questions you need to ask:
* Will you be making an offer? Or if you had multiple offers, what is your highest and best offer?
* If we can't make this property work for you, is it okay to keep you on our VIP notification list for future properties?
* What 3 things are most important to you in the purchase of a property?
* What price range have you been qualified for (if they have not been pre-qualified, refer them to your preferred lender)
* How quickly would you be prepared to move on a property if you found the right one?
At this point, you now have the beginnings of your own buyers list AND you've hopefu
