If you are looking for a unique house for sale, I have some great news for you. I have one in stock!
The one thing that every single house has in common is that it is unique; no two houses are exactly alike.
In fact, when people who are getting ready to sell their houses start to prepare, they (almost) all have a belief that their house stands alone and will sell as the result of a negotiation with a buyer (which might or might not be true).
But the educated house seller knows better.
You have to locate a buyer (or preferably several) before any kind of negotiation can begin.
Preparing To Sell A house
The educated house seller understands that we live in a house, but we sell a house. And a house is a commodity that must play by the rules established through supply and demand for similar houses in the Tallahassee real estate market.
Too often, this oversight of ignoring the influence of competition among house sellers allows for poor decision making on the part of the houseowner who would like to sell their house.
Yes, your house is unique. But if you want to know how much money you'll be able to gain from a sale of your house, you need to understand how buyers will go about finding your house.
They will not view your house for its uniqueness, rather they will add it to the list of houses to view based upon its similarities to the house that they are seeking.
That point is so important, it is worth repeating!
They will not view your house for its uniqueness, rather they will add it to the list of houses to view based upon its similarities to the house that they are seeking.
If they choose to make an offer on your house, it is at that point where your house's unique features will help it stand-out among the competition.
Unique house For Sale
Nobody wants to live in a house that is exactly like everybody else's, but the prudent house seller understands that a house must "belong" to a group before its unique features can be appreciated by a buyer.
The mechanical nature of marketing a house through property search tools on the internet requires the seller and the real estate company to market to the masses while searching for the few individuals that will most appreciate a house. When we market a house as "unique," we are chasing the masses away, and this is a mistake that costs the seller money.
What To Do
Interview several real estate companies and see what they do to attract the masses to the house, and then find out what they do to demonstrate it's unique value proposition so that buyers are willing to pay top dollar. In other words, listen to several real estate listing agents and don't be pulled in by personality and drama, rather focus on their process and what they are going to do to optimize the marketing of your house on the internet (hint: 94% of buyers are using the internet ... it's important!).
