How to Sell a unique property

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Austin 0438535

Well here it is. Castle Wildwood. We have actually owned and lived in this place for 2 1/2 years. It has been an adventure. Built in 1996 originally as a party house it changed hands in 2003 and a party house it was no more. There were many nuances that were no completed such as an elevator in the tall tower. The hoist way and pit were designed and built in but no elevator. It took about 3 months to find a contractor to take on the task and another 10 months to create and install but now the Castle has a four story elevator. The top of the tower, (the 5th floor) has a spiral staircase. We have hosted many events here since moving in and it always gets the high "this is sooo cool" approval. One visit we had was from some friends who asked my wife, "is this your forever home" for which she immediatly replied "NO". I know she does love it but it is a lot to take care of and she is not really a "Castle girl"! We will be looking to find a way in the future to price and sell this incredible property but for now, we are going to enjoy the status of King and Queen. If ever you are in the Austin Texas area, look us up, we love to give tours!

Good morning Steve. Unique indeed. When it comes tie to sell remember there is someone out there, like a needle in the haystack, that longs to call it home! Enjoy your day.

Steve, have had a few unique properties over the years, and you do have to think outside the box with marketing.
