KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Say goodbye to the days when baking a batch of cookies and putting out fresh flowers before an open house would be enough to sell your home. In today’s market, it takes more than that to attract buyers, and frustrated home sellers are resorting to some unusual methods to get their homes noticed. From clever to downright bizarre, FrontDoor.com – HGTV’s new award-winning real estate site – shares its top ten favorite unusual home selling tactics. ( http://www.frontdoor.com/top10)
1. Hold an open house party. Open houses are the norm when selling a home, but some sellers are upping the ante on the open house by offering wine, catered food, live music and prizes. A fancy shindig could start a buzz on your property and make your home memorable.
2. Take home staging to the extreme. It’s well known that staging your home can help it sell faster, but some sellers are taking staging a step further with an ancient Chinese philosophy. Feng shui stagers rearrange the elements of a home to improve its chi, or energy. Good chi makes potential buyers feel more welcome.
