Need Help Finding Buyers?

Here's a tip for you if you need buyers:

Map out a reasonable commuting distance from the property (this is different for every area, so use your own educated discretion) and list the major corporations and universities.

Call their Human Resources dept (find the name of the department head first, if you can) and ask them if there is anyone on staff looking to move or currently in temporary housing.  Temp housing is fairly common, especially with larger corporations moving someone to the area, and they want to find permanent housing as quickly as possible.

Don't just call one or two places...target them all until you find buyers.  If you haven't done this before, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results you get.  Just be confident and HONEST about why you're calling.

P.S.  I wish I could take credit for this idea but, alas, I can't.  Our Executive VP Marc Hargraves passed this gem along to me.  Thanks Marc!
