What Sellers Can Learn From eBay- Create a "HOT MARKET" for the home!

By
Real Estate Agent

In my last post I talked about the different options sellers have when it comes to marketing and selling their house.  I'm introducing a way to do this faster by creating a buyer frenzy!  Hard to believe that is possible?  Not really when you look at what buyers want and focus on how you can market to them in a very creative way. 

We talked about what it is that buyers want...no big mystery...they want a DEAL.  Buying is an emotional exercise whether they choose to believe it or not.  If it were not they would just find a house on line and order it like they do a pizza!  They have to get into the house and make a connection.  That is what you as a seller can create that for you house.  This is psychology 101. 

So What makes this system work, while nothing else will?

1. Buyers want a DEAL:  Start low and Prices JUMP

2. Deadline To Buy:  "Sold SUNDAY Night"

3. Gone Tomorrow; Give Buyers A Sense Of Urgency

4. Tone Of Offers; Create Buyer Frenzy -Price Climbs

I'm using the term "Auction" in general so this is not a traditional Auction that I am talking about...this is about creating Multiple Bids and selling to the highest bidder.  Before we go into the differences let's look at why "Auctions" work.

 Buyers Feel They Are Getting A "DEAL"

               *This one factor has made eBay the #1 auction company in the world!
               * eBay users sold over $60 Billion worth of merchandise on eBay in the final
               quarter of 2007.
