Home Buyers Love Buyer Incentives

The giving of buyer incentives is nothing new as businesses across the country give them to entice buyers to frequent their shops. Why not consider doing the same for your buyer to encourage them to choose your house?

Home Selling Tips – Bowie Real Estate Investors: The incentives you see offered by businesses to stimulate sales can be used by you, the home seller, as well. Why not offer something a bit unusual that would be very nice to have for anyone who buys your home? It doesn’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. It can be something that might be just an investment of a few hundred dollars that will help you to make the sale.

It’s great for the competitive field you face today when trying to sell your house. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes for just a moment. What if you narrowed your search down to a particular neighborhood and 5 or 6 houses within that area? The next step will be to find out who is offering you the best deal and the nicest house for the money. In so many cases you will have your choice of great houses that would make your family quite comfortable, so you’ll then take it to the next level.

It doesn’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. 

Is any one of those homeowners offering you anything more? If they were all similar and were priced about the same, wouldn’t you consider buying the one that offered you a family membership to the community pool for the summer or a winter’s chimney cleaning and inspection? How about a winter of paid snow plowing for your driveway or a $100 gift card to the local coffee house?

These are just a few ideas for things you might like to offer your buyer. This incentive program could make a difference in their choice of houses when it comes right down to the wire. Everyone loves to get something free, even if they must pay for a big ticket item to get it.

Other ideas include such items as a gift basket with coupons and gift certificates for local fun spots. Make up the basket with fruits and a bottle of wine or sparkling cider. Include tickets to the local movie theater, gift cards for mini-golf or bumper cars, a gift card for ice cream or coffee, or perhaps gift tickets to the area professional sports events if you have them close by. Whatever you can think of that might be enticing to your buyers, buy it and put a basket together to offer the lucky buyer. They will feel as though they are getting so much more than the house. They will be getting a warm welcome to the neighborhood as well.
