Popular BOGO Sales Strategy Now Entering Real Estate Market
The "buy one get one free" sale strategy is now entering the mainstream real estate market -- thanks to a pioneering new real estate franchise in Tucson, Arizona.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 15, 2005 -- With so many retailers enticing customers with buy one get one free" offers, it was only a matter of time before the concept found a permanent home in real estate.
Its an idea whose time had come," states Kelly Pool, co-founder with husband Dan of Two4One Real Estate, a budding new franchise system based in Phoenix, Arizona.
Though seemingly radical in nature, the idea itself is both simple and straightforward according to Pool. If a client will commit to buying their next home through us, we will sell their current home for free." Selling the home for free means the company waives their listing commission, which can often run in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars. Weve had some clients save as much as $15,000 on the sale of their existing home, so that really adds to the word of mouth," states Pool.
While the strategy works great for homeowners, it appears to make sense for real estate agents as well, say co-owner Dan Pool. By selling our clients homes for free, we pick up a greater share of the markets listings. It also creates an instant client base of qualified buyers, so the system drives itself and generates an increased sales volume."
While working for less doesnt mean earning less, it also doesnt mean cutting service. We are a 100% full service real estate agency," Pool contends. All of our listing are placed in the MLS and we never cut the buyers agent commission. The discounts we offer are all on our side of the table, so that way everyone stays happy."
Happy is a good way to describe Randy and Sistine Castellini. The pair was one of the first Two4One franchisees to get started. With the system in place, they produced a 100% increase in net income their first year.
Word of the concept has spread fast. The franchise, which opened in January of 2004, now has five offices in Arizona, with several more slated to open in the next few months. The company also plans to expand nationally by awarding regional territories this fall. Asked if he was concerned that others might try to copy his program, Pool expressed confidence. We developed the concept, but more importantly, we own the name. Anyone looking to get a two for one deal will automatically think of Two4One Real Estate."
With the trend spreading quickly the sure winner will be consumers, as more and more savvy homeowners look to retain equity when they sell their homes. It makes sense for homeowners to carry as much of their equity forward into their new homes as possible," Pool continues, and it makes just as much sense to have a business model that keeps the sales pipeline full at all times."
Buy one/get one may come and go at the grocer, but from all appearances, its found a new home in real estate.
