How to Sell a Haunted House: The Ultimate Guide for April Fool's Day

by Michael Radie

Welcome to the exclusive, once-in-a-year edition of the #GetSeenGetSoldTeam newsletter, where we delve into the spookier side of real estate. Yes, you read that right. Ever wondered how to sell a house that's rumored to be haunted? Fear not (or maybe a little), for we've got you covered.

1. Embrace the Spook First off, don’t hide it; flaunt it! Ghost tours in homes are the new black. Think of it as the house coming with its own 24/7 security team - after all, which burglar in their right mind would mess with a poltergeist?

2. The Ghostly Staging Forget fresh flowers and baked cookies. We’re talking mysteriously moving objects, doors that close on their own, and eerie whispers from the HVAC. It’s all about setting the ambiance. Potential buyers won't just be purchasing a home; they'll be investing in an experience!

3. Marketing to the Niche Lean into that niche market. There’s always someone looking for a haunted mansion, right? Use taglines like, “This house has so much character, it's practically alive!” or “Free roommates included: Some just happen to be from the 18th century.”

4. Highlight the 'Eternal' Views And by 'eternal', we mean those midnight apparitions in the backyard. It’s not just a garden; it’s a gathering spot for the afterlife. A truly unique feature you won't find just anywhere.

5. Closing the Deal Finally, when you seal the deal, throw in a complimentary sage smudging kit. It’s important to let the new homeowners know you care about their spiritual as well as physical well-being.

Remember, folks, selling a haunted house might sound like a ghostly endeavor, but with the right agent (wink, wink), it's no phantom feat. So, if you've got a spooky listing that's scaring off buyers, call Mike at the #GetSeenGetSoldTeam. We're not afraid of a little spirited selling!
