Since this year has been really rough in terms of trying to sell real estate, I decided that I was going to try something different.  I knew that there had to be a way for me to have my properties stand out from the crowd and entice buyers to come take a look.

But it took awhile to come up with something unique I could do that wouldn’t take a large cash investment.  I was struggling enough as it is, and though I did want to be different, I didn’t want to have to end up in bankruptcy because of it.

In the end, I settled on some custom banner stands that would allow me to hang a large picture of the interior design of the home that I was selling.  I thought that if the prospective buyer would get a glimpse of what they would see inside the home that I would entice them to call and make an appointment for a viewing.

As it turns out, the last half of the year saw an increase in home showings by nearly fifty percent, and the number of new homes that I sold increased over last year by ten percent even though the market was in a slump.

Needless to say, trying something different ended up being profitable for me and I am very thankful for that.
