Take a sniper's approach in your real estate marketing.
Arguably, there are more real estate agents than there are the number of homes for sale, making it challenging for real estate professionals to separate themselves from the pack.
Reach motivated sellers who need timely assistance in selling the real property attached to the estate. Build a steady, evergreen pipeline of leads by offering compassionate, efficient solutions and selling the estate home as quickly as possible with the least complications. Realize the added benefit of referrals from attorneys and other professionals.
Facing mounting expenses for a home they can no longer maintain or easily get around in, Gen Xers (also known as empty nesters) often turn to real estate professionals to downsize their home and make a chapter change in their evolving lifestyle needs. Astute real estate agents can help this burgeoning demographic transition to more accommodating surroundings.
Divorcing couples frequently need to liquidate shared marital property quickly and neutrally. Although not for the faint of heart, this niche market provides opportunities to help clients navigate through an emotionally and financially complex transaction with empathy and expertise in equitably dividing assets and providing a fresh start, including a new home for a spouse.
Owners of distressed properties often need immediate help navigating financial pressure, repairs, or potential foreclosure. Agents experienced in pre-foreclosure sales can offer expertise and resources that convert urgent situations into successful closings. Connect with motivated sellers when there are early indicators that they are unable to keep up with their financial obligations and provide solutions to get out of a tough spot.
Vacant homes typically represent motivated owners facing carrying costs, security concerns, and liability issues. This urgency creates a unique opportunity to relieve owners of their financial burden and purchase the vacant property for less than market value. These unoccupied, abandoned homes with no activity are waiting for their potential to be unlocked. Be the first to put the underutilized property to use.
When someone owns a property but does not occupy it, they are frequently dealing with issues like rising maintenance costs, problematic tenants, or the hassle of managing their property from a distance. Because they’re less emotionally attached to the property and more financially motivated, absentee owners represent a strong, consistently responsive listing niche for savvy real estate agents.
Owners bogged down with code violations are overwhelmed and have a heightened urgency to sell the property to avoid escalating fines, legal issues, or costly repairs. Real estate agents who understand local compliance processes can position themselves as problem solvers and turn difficult situations into reliable listing opportunities.
Real estate agents and investors can remove the thorns in the sides of owners in a precarious financial position. These owners are motivated to pay off their debt and avoid foreclosure, presenting a potential source of discounted properties and consistent deal flow. In a perfect scenario, investors can repossess a property by covering the taxes due.
The reality not all inherited properties enter the probate process. Using pre-probate data, savvy real estate professionals can make an early introduction to beneficiaries who will inherit a property. These situational sellers often ask themselves, “What do I do with this house?” Brokers and agents can add tremendous value in evaluating options, give the heirs a payday, and help with other efficient, time-saving solutions.
