Some tactics from sellers and seller’s agents aren’t as successful as they seem. While they may work sometimes and make the seller happy, they aren’t guarantees. Glenn Phillips, CEO of Beach Homes Realty, discusses 4 things that won’t get a beach home sold.
- Open Houses. Open houses are good for neighbors to come and look around your house. However, most beach home buyers come from cities or states away and can’t always make it to an open house.
- “Just Listed” postcards. While neighbors might be interested in your home, beach home buyers often start on the internet. Trying to mail postcards to these millions of buyers nationwide isn’t practical.
- “Just Listed” social media. To start, social media algorithms don’t like these types of posts. If your friends and family wanted to buy the house, they probably already knew about it. Social media reminders don’t get in front of the real buyers.
- “For Sale” signs. For sale signs show the agent’s activity to the neighbors. Again, beach home buyers start their search online, so they won’t see the sign until they drive up to the property.
These selling activities often make sellers happy, but rarely contribute to selling the property. Visit beach-homes.com to connect with expert beach agents ready to sell your beach home.
