Sleep on It!

Have you seen HGTV's Sleep on It?
Well, what a concept. I have recently had a discussion with one of my clients whose house is for sale and she thought that if she could not sell her home in a timely matter we could consider such an aspect. Just think.. Try it before you buy it! This is a great opportunity to allow potential buyers try your home before they buy it. Of course you are probably thinking what the risks are involved, but we would definitely start with a game plan and make sure we only allowed well qualified interested parties take part in such an endeavor. There would be a rental agreement (even if only a day) and money deposited into escrow for potential damage involved. This could truly become part of the buyers 10 day inspection period. It would be great for those whose homes back a major street, a freeway, side a park or commercial space... many people are afraid of noise and just don't want to take the risk, but if they could live there for a day or two, eat there, shower there and leave for work to be able to test their commute? Wouldn't they be more apt to buy or know it, especially if they really love the house, there is just one little thing holding them back.

How would you like to try a home before you buy it? It could become the new thing.
