Literally.
Why? Because it stood out. It wasn’t about a discount. It was about a perk.
Ideas to Make Buyers Say “Ooooh”
Here are a few other ways to make your home the golden goose of the neighborhood: • Pre-pay lawn care for 6–12 months. (“Because you shouldn’t have to mow and move.”) • Include a cleaning service for their first deep clean. • Throw in pest control. Who doesn’t want a spider-free start to homeownership? • Gift cards to local restaurants, movers, or home improvement stores. • Offer to cover their Netflix for a year. (Hey, it’s the little things.) Even a few hundred bucks in value can make you look like the world’s most generous seller—and the house next door look like a stingy box of drywall. Points to Remember: • Bad listing photos are like showing up to a job interview in pajama pants. Don’t do it. • Buyers shop with their eyes first—make your home look irresistible. • The right incentive can push buyers from “maybe” to “sold” faster than you can say “prepaid HOA fees.” • It doesn’t have to cost much—just make it feel like they’re winning. Remember: you’re not just selling a house. You’re selling a dream wrapped in curb appeal and tied up with a tiny little bow
