Thanks for the reminder. Last night I thought “this post is worthy of a Stumble”, then I started clicking on the links, got tired and spaced it out. I’m headed to SU

I hope people find those links useful, I do.

Yup - sold my last house on Craigslist Las Vegas. My dealings with Realtors and that house is a story. Maybe I’ll talk about it in my “selling” series.

Here’s how I sold it.

I advertised the property for sale by owner on Craigslist. I advertised the property at market value price but offered excellent terms. I offered to pay up to 3% (all of) my buyer’s closing costs and as a down payment I would except a 5% down payment in the form of a Zero-Coupon Municipal Bond (bonds you can buy for half the price of it’s face value).

So, she made a 5% down payment to me for spending only 2.5% of her money.

Took me 3 months to snag a buyer.

Perfect example of how most people don’t understand the benefits of offering or getting good terms vs. low price.

I love the show “What Not To Wear”. The transformations are phenomenal.

This sure is a value based post. I have heard of a few of the links you listed, but not all of them. I’m going to check them out and see what I can learn.

So….you sold your last house on Craigslist? How cool. Will you be sharing your story on that as well?
