Selling Your Home? The Hidden Costs of Choosing the Wrong Method!
Selling the wrong way isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. Do you want to risk losing money, time, and strong buyers? Or do you want a proven strategy that puts YOU in control? Let’s break down the differences between the 72SOLD method and the traditional home-selling approach to see which one really protects your hard-earned home equity.
How Much Money Could You Lose Without Realizing It? 💸😱
The traditional real estate process often follows the 4P approach:
- Put the house in the MLS
- Put the sign in the yard
- Put the lockbox on the door
- Pray that the right buyer comes along
This passive strategy leaves sellers waiting while time on the market increases, potentially leading to price reductions and lost equity.
Contrast that with the 72SOLD method—a highly strategic and proactive approach that maximizes your sale price. Our system minimizes days on the market, drives up demand, and ensures buyers are emotionally invested before they even step foot in your home.
What If You’re Missing Out on Buyers Who Don’t Even Know They Can Buy? 🤔
A key difference between 72SOLD and traditional selling is buyer accessibility. Traditional realtors rely solely on buyers who are already pre-approved, but what about the huge pool of potential buyers who could purchase your home with the right financing guidance?
72SOLD brings in more buyers by offering:
- ✅ Seller financing & rent-to-own options
- ✅ Exclusive investor networks for backup offers
- ✅ Unique lender partnerships to pre-qualify more buyers
Every additional buyer is another opportunity to drive up your home’s value. Can you afford to let those buyers walk away?
Could a Simple Marketing Mistake Be Costing You $10K+? 😬
When it comes to first impressions, traditional home listings fall short. Standard MLS listings feature basic photos and minimal marketing efforts. Without strong presentation and psychological sales techniques, buyers see your home as just another listing and move on.
At 72SOLD, we create a lasting impact by:
- ✅ Using virtual staging and remodeling visualization to increase perceived value
- ✅ Pre-marketing strategies that generate buyer interest before your home officially hits the market
- ✅ Specially crafted scripts and showing techniques designed to boost offers by thousands
Are Buyers Walking In… And Walking Right Out? 😱 The way your home is presented affects how much buyers are willing to pay. Don’t leave money on the table!
What If No One Is Highlighting Your Home’s Best Features? 😰
A huge weakness of traditional selling is the absence of the listing agent during showings. Without an expert present, who’s making sure buyers see your home’s best features? Who’s overcoming their concerns in real time?
With 72SOLD, your agent personally attends showings, ensuring that:
- ✅ Every feature of your home is highlighted
- ✅ Buyers’ concerns are addressed immediately
- ✅ Scarcity and urgency are created to increase offers
Traditional selling means buyers walk away with unanswered questions, leading to lost sales and lower offers. Can you afford that risk?
Could a Single Negotiation Mistake Cost You Thousands? 😵
Most realtors lack the advanced negotiation techniques needed to push buyers to their highest price, leading to missed opportunities. 72SOLD is different.
- ✅ Our negotiation strategy determines the highest amount ANY buyer is willing to pay
- ✅ Our agents use advanced scripts to routinely increase offers by $5,000 – $7,000 per counteroffer
- ✅ 72SOLD minimize repair requests, saving you thousands in unnecessary expenses
Traditional agents let buyers dictate terms. 72SOLD puts YOU in control.
Can a Failed Buyer Loan Cost You Time and Money? 😵💫
Failed contracts are every home seller’s nightmare. Unfortunately, many traditional sales fall through due to buyer financing issues. With 72SOLD, we work with specialized lenders to ensure buyers are fully vetted before offers are accepted. This means:
- ✅ Fewer failed contracts
- ✅ A faster, smoother closing process
- ✅ Less stress and uncertainty for you
Selling your home shouldn’t be a gamble. Why risk a deal falling apart when you can work with a method that increases success?
The Bottom Line: Can You Afford to Leave 5+% on the Table?
Data shows that 72SOLD homes sell for an average of 5% or more than comparable homes sold traditionally. That’s $25,000 more on a $500,000 home—money that could be in your pocket rather than left on the table.
Would you be opposed to letting buyers walk away without making an offer? 😨 If not, then the choice is clear:
- ✅ Sell faster
- ✅ Sell for more
- ✅ Have more buyers interested in your property
