As you know, Bosshardt Realty Services is committed to doing everything we can to promote our Seller's homes to as many potential buyers as possible, in the shortest amount of time. To that end, I wanted to tell you about an event taking place July 24-26, 2009, hosted by the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors. The Open Door Home Sale open house extravaganza is a tremendous opportunity for Sellers to showcase their homes.
This very special event will be supported by an extensive marketing campaign including TV, radio, newspaper, and Internet advertising. In addition to this marketing, over 1,000 Realtor members will be spreading the word. Cox Media has agreed to do over 1,000 spots from June 30th through July 26th to promote this event to the public. The Gainesville Sun will promote this event on their high traffic website (www.gainesville.com) and will create a new website (Open Door Home Sale) to feature just those homes that will be participating. They will also do multiple half page and quarter page ads promoting the event and a four page pull out the weekend of the event showcasing all the homes that are participating. This event is an unprecedented effort to GET BUYERS MOTIVATED and to stimulate the local real estate market!
If you want your home to benefit from this phenomenal level of promotional support, I urge you to take part in the Open Door Home Sale event. Your home must be OPEN with a Realtor between the hours of 2-7 pm July 24-26, 2009, and you must offer a 3% incentive to buyers during those days. This incentive can be in the form of a 3% price reduction, 3% toward closing costs and pre-paids, or 3% in seller concessions (roof repair, carpeting allowance, etc.). If you want your home included in the Open Door Home Sale event, please contact your Bosshardt Realtor. There is a non-refundable $50 deposit to hold your reservation due by June 30th. The remaining $150 non-refundable fee is due by July 10th.
