Recent comments from Buy Owner customers

“I chose Buy Owner to save money. Since I hadn’t sold a home since the 1980s, I wanted some help without having to pay Realtor commissions. With Buy Owner, the phone service was excellent. When I called to make some changes to my ad, everyone I encountered was extremely helpful. The changes were made promptly and to my specifications. In comparison to a Realtor, I definitely saved money.”

25 Extra Tricks for Drawing Buyers

Nov09

6 Comments Written by Shanna

Idea Bulb When you’re selling your home with Buy Owner, your property receives a  premium marketing plan, which could include up to all of the following options (not all options available with all plans):

  • National advertising on the Buy Owner website
  • Appearance in Buy Owner Magazine
  • Talking yard sign
  • Participation in the computer matchmaking system
  • Toll-free number
  • Stunning photographs of the exterior, interior, and community
  • Descriptive text that highlights your home’s features
  • Professional, 360-degree virtual tours

Maximize the impact of your Buy Owner advertising by putting a little legwork into your sale to get the word out! Remember, goal #1 in selling your home: get your phone to ring!

DISTRIBUTE FLYERS: Print out flyers using your Buy Owner seller tools*, and distribute them everywhere you can**:

  1. Area supermarkets and stores.
  2. Cafes.
  3. Local schools.
  4. Non-profit organizations.
  5. Libraries.
  6. Laundromats.
  7. Independent booksellers.
  8. Any additional place where you can obtain permission to post!
  9. Keep flyers with you at all times, ready to hand out.
  10. USE YOUR CONNECTIONS

  11. Post on the bulletin board at work, if possible.
  12. If your subdivision/neighborhood offers a bulletin board or some kind of announcement section, post your flyer there! By posting in the neighborhood, you’re targeting people who are already attracted to your location.
  13. Your town/city may have a similar bulletin board option at the town center.
  14. Fax your flyer to the human resources departments of area businesses for relocation purposes.
  15. TELL YOUR FRIENDS

  16. Talk about your home sale with your friends and family.
  17. Mention it at work, at stores, with new acquaintances.
  18. Bring it up at book club, community events, parties, showers, holiday gatherings.
  19. Be on the lookout for people who are house-hunting. You never know who will lead to your buyer!
  20. LINK TO YOUR BUY OWNER AD

  21. Create free online ads at places like Craigslist and Google that link to your Buy Owner page. You’ll be drawing even more people to look at your home’s photos, tours and text!
  22. E-mail everyone in your e-mail address book a link to your online ad and ask them to pass it on to anyone who’s in the market.
  23. Blog about your home sale. If you, or someone you know, blogs regularly, that can be a great way to spread the word about your property. Try to get a post written that links to your advertisement and mentions some of your home’s key features.
  24. HOLD AN OPEN HOUSE

  25. Schedule an open house on a weekend afternoon when not a lot of community events are happening. Hint: don’t plan the open house on the day of a big football game or the weekend of a holiday.
  26. Promote your open house everywhere (see above for suggestions about flyers).
  27. On the day of the open house, have a niece or nephew run a lemonade stand out front. This will help draw in other passers-by, inviting them inside.
  28. Mark your open house online, through your Buy Owner seller tools*.
  29. Make the most of other open houses in the area. Check local ads, and when an open house is scheduled in nearby, put out a sign and draw those visitors to your home.
  30. *Call Buy Owner’s customer service department if you need help navigating through your seller tools.

    **Be careful to abide by all local ordinances regarding private property and only post the flyer after obtaining permission.

The selling process went well!

From another recently satisfied customer:

“We weren’t pushing hard the first couple of months, and we didn’t move too far away.  The selling process went well!  I took people on tours, and then we took out a bridge loan so we could move more quickly. That allowed us to move everything, and our house sold in less than three months after that.  There are 300 houses for sale in our market, so we were very pleased that we got our asking price. We don’t feel as though we had to unload the home…we had three buyers and the third was really nice and willing to buy, so we went ahead!  The buyers fell in love with it online, the virtual tours looked great, and the professional photos were excellent!

In this market, Buy Owner worked out great!  If you have a really nice house, you can really benefit from Buy Owner’s advertising!  We knew another person who sold through Buy Owner who encouraged us to use it.  So many people are selling their houses online.  That’s the way people do it these days!”

“My Buy Owner experience was good. Considering how bad the market is right now, I was happy that it sold in only five months.  You offered friendly service, and I was always well-informed and kept up-to-date with house statistics; overall it served me well! Thanks, Buy Owner!”

Happy with Buy Owner!

From a recent satisfied customer:

“I’m very happy with my experience: we sold and got a good price! We informed the buyer that we were starting to list with Buy Owner and that made things happen quicker.  I think it helped us get to agreement quicker.

The staff was professional, very straightforward, definitely on my side, and helped me market my condo in the most effective way possible. The Buy Owner flyer is very professional; it helped me communicate the value of my property very well.

I recommended you to my brother as well who just signed up with you. Thanks, Buy Owner!”
