How to Sell a Fixer Upper

How to Sell a Fixer Upper

fixer upper

So you plan to sell a home that some might call a fixer upper. In other words, this is a residence that—while attractive, high quality and structurally sound overall—is in need of a little work. And the person who buys this residence will be the one responsible for any repairs, remodels or refurbishments that might be needed in order to optimize the house’s potential; in other words, to morph this particular house into their ultimate dream home.

Just how do you market and sell a home that—or so you admit from the outset—is not exactly perfect? How do you sell a fixer upper? Read on for some ideas:

1. Don’t call it a fixer upper. Sorry to be royal wise acres here; but the fact is that some home buyers automatically reject homes that are labelled as fixer uppers. They may fear that fixer upper is a surefire synonym for Residential Disaster, This Property Condemned or Official Set Location for the Next Amityville Horror flick. Not these synonyms would be anywhere close to true, accurate or applicable, but the fact remains that phrases such as fixer upper might trigger unfairly awful images in the mind of many potential buyers.

2. Don’t call it a challenge, a repair project, or a house with potential, because…well, for pretty much all the same reasons we just mentioned. And we probably don’t need to say that phrases like “money pit” are out of the proverbial question; particularly if potential home buyers have seen the 1996 Tom Hanks and Shelley Long comedy movie that showed us exactly what a “money pit” really is! Hint, it hate pretty!

3. Always point out the home’s positive attributes before you detail those aspects that may need some work or improvement. Accentuate the positive before you delve into the negative; OK, so that doesn’t make for such a catchy song title, but it is sound advice in regards to selling a fixer upper (except, of course, we’re not calling it a fixer upper. Shhh….).

4. Assure all potential buyers that your home is safe, clean and stable; and that it has passed any and all required safety and building inspections with flying colors. Assure those who may be interested in purchasing the residence that they can safely reside in the place “as is”; however, they may need to do a bit of work to morph their safe, decent house into the home of their dreams.

The Open House Checklist

02.10.17 by

The Open House Checklist

open-house

Are you open to hosting an open house? An open house is that all important event that basically shows off and sells your home to prospective buyers; and as such, this happening is perhaps the most essential tool in the arsenal of a home seller. A buyer, after all, has to visit and see your home and inspect its elements before they even can think of buying it.
While planning your open house, it may help you to develop a check list of helpful items to have on hand the day of the big event. And these could include:

1. An open house sign. Aside from the for sale sign that your Realtor will post outside your home, it might help to post additional signage that announces and lists the details of your open house event. This is sure to bring in passersby who otherwise may not have known that your house was for sale; one of whom may be the ideal buyer for your residence.

2. Informational sheets. Printed floor plans and information sheets can do much to answer any questions that prospective buyers may have about your home, and may play a vital part in their eventual decision as to whether or not they buy your home. These sheets tell them everything from the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the residence to their size and square footage; the size and style of the kitchen and living areas in the home to the availability of extras such as rec rooms, storage spaces, fireplaces, swimming pools, etc. Print these sheets up on high quality paper and hand them out to guests as they step through the door.

3. Refreshments. When printing up meeting notices in the newspaper, organizations are encouraged to list the availability of treats and refreshments at their upcoming sessions; a seemingly trivial factoid that has been known to double attendance at just about any type of meeting. It’s a fact; people love free food. So have plenty of it on hand at your open house!

4. Experts. All open houses should be hosted by people who know basically all there is to know about your home. This could be your real estate agent, or it could be you—or, in some cases, you both may wish to be present for the event; ready to greet guests, answer their questions, and basically offer whatever help and advice guests need to make their home buying decisions—and hopefully in your favor!
