THE 12 DAYS OF SELLING YOUR HOME DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
By Larry Stoller | Dec 20, 2022 The Bluffton Sun 

It’s not easy being jolly when your home is not selling.
In the spirit of the holiday season, here are some suggestions for getting your home sold in December.

First Day: Bury one small statue of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of real estate, in your front yard upside down. A little faith goes a long way.

Second Day: Put two flowering plants by the front door to give buyers a powerful first impression This is important for getting buyers to feel good before entering your home.

Third Day: Add three attractive floral arrangements in the foyer to enhance the positive feelings folks have as they enter your home. This keeps them feeling good after they enter your home.  

Fourth Day: Place four fragrant cinnamon stick decorations inside the house to continue and enhance the “This is the house I want to buy” good feelings.

Fifth Day: Prepare festive fruitcakes, creating a fragrance that is sure to please any and all potential buyers.

Sixth Day: No offer yet? Position a photo of Saint Jude, the Patron Saint of desperation in six different parts of your home.

Seventh Day: Obtain seven compelling reasons (one each by seven different people handwritten on an index card), stating why someone should buy your home. Put those cards with the writing facing upward throughout the house.

Eighth Day: Ensure that your home is advertised in eight different online real estate directories (e.g., Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Homes.com, etc.).

Ninth Day: Send nine brief but different emails to your real estate agent asking him or her what was done over the past nine days to get your home sold.

Tenth Day: Use Feng Shui for 10 days in a row to sell your home.  (What do you mean, you don’t know which real estate company he works for?)

Eleventh Day: Scatter 11 pictures of Sylvester Stallone around the house, to create the impression that nothing is impossible in this day and age (how many “Rocky” movies have there been to date?).

Twelfth Day: Still not sold? Then it’s time to take drastic measures.  Go out and dig up that St. Joseph statue that you buried, turn it right side up, and place 12 more St. Joseph statues throughout the house. A lot of faith goes a long way!

I wish you all many smiles and a Happy Holiday season!

What our clients are saying  

We chose Larry Stoller to be our listing agent for our condo in Bluffton South Carolina based on a recommendation from a neighbor who had also used Larry’s services. We could not have been happier with the results. Great communication, flexible commissions, quick sale (3 days!), and a great attitude and helpful knowledge. Larry and Valerie are a great team and we highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs. Thank you,

 

~ Jeff & Mary Lou Muckleroy

Larry and Valerie helped me sell my house. If you are looking for the personal touch then these real estate professionals are the ones. They went above and beyond what usual big outfits give you. If you are looking to sell and/or buy a house, then Larry and Valerie are who you need to call. I don't just hand out recommendations, they have to be earned. And they earned mine.

 

~ Zack Southwick, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry, thank you so much for the excellent marketing, selling and timely closing of our home. Your efforts were immediate, well planned and executed. As a result, the responses came quick and at a greater price than we anticipated. All this occurred with a very can-do and friendly attitude. We would be happy to recommend your services as we have already. Thanks again for helping make our dreams come true.

 

~ Jim & Fran Cason, Bluffton, SC

We've sold six houses in the past 17 years and Larry was hands down the best agent we've used. We were very impressed with the way he got the job done. He was always available to answer questions and stayed in close contact with us during our selling process. Larry is easy to work with, and we could tell that he definitely had our best interest at heart. I would not hesitate to recommend him and would use him again in the future.

 

~ Matt & Beth Nielsen, Bluffton, SC

Valerie and Larry did an excellent job of getting a buyer for my house. I was very pleased with their services. They were always prompt and on time when they made appointments. Their feedback was very helpful. It was like getting two realtors to get the job done instead of one. I highly recommend them.

 

~ Ann Gibson, Sun City Hilton Head, SC

We met Larry about a year ago and with his incredible assistance we were able to purchase a home in The Haven in SC. He was always available to us to answer the never-ending series of questions we had. Being from out-of-state, he gave us a working knowledge of the area and provided us with all the information we needed to make a suitable offer on the property. His work with us continued even after we closed on the property, with assisting us in finding a quality renter until we were ready to move. I consider Larry to be an A+ realtor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
