Selling A Vacant House? Put My Artificial Plant To Work

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

 

When I listed this vacant Manassas home I put an artificial plant in one corner of the living room. That plant has been part of my marketing strategy in vacant homes for years

If I have a need to request feedback I refer to "the vacant house with the artificial plant".  It works like a charm in refreshing an agent's memory 

Of course, there are those who have ridiculed it, but the home sold quickly and will settle the end of this month.  No 6 or 7 month unsold listing when my little plant goes to work

My marketing strategy includes much more than that little plant.  All of the following are provided at no cost to you

  • It will be featured on Trulia
  • Professional photography to maximize your home's visual impact in the MLS
  • Online flyers with slide-shows will be syndicated to major search engines and national real estate portals as well as the websites of other local real estate firms
  • Your home will have its' own YouTube video
  • Colorful laser brochure for your home
  • Accurate and fully detailed MLS listing
  • And much more

 

 

The team is preparing for a new listing on another vacant Manassas home.   That plant will be on site to work for our client.

Karen sounds like the plant is working.  And yes I can see how it would help agent remember the house when you request feedback.

I will have to try it.

Sounds like the plant is working for you. I guess St Joseph is out of a job!

Karen, Now there's something that I've not seen an agent do before.. What got you started putting a plant in the corner to get a home sold?

This is an interesting idea, Karen. I should give this a try or maybe look for other things that will be my trademark too.
