Send swap proposals
Sending a swap proposal is as easy as filling out a short form and including your property swap ID. The more proposals you send out, the higher the chances of finding a taker. The formula is simple: Send out many, review a few, take one! We help you with the rest by providing guidance and steps needed to complete your swap. You may, of-course, just sit back and wait for the proposals to come to your email. |

Receive real offers even in slow markets
That's right, we have hundreds of swappers sending out swap proposals every day. Any one of those proposals can turn into real contract or offer to buy your property if you agree to buy someone else's. This is precisely what GoSwap.org is all about: getting offers, having options, finding alternative ways of selling your house--or thinking proactively. This concept works, we even have one person working on his 3rd swap, check out Jerry's page! |

An unofficial guide and practical advice with dirty tricks on selling or swapping a house when nothing is selling?
Or call it what you will.
Selling in this market takes extra effort. This guide intends to give sellers some sense of directions where this effort should be directed to increase chances of having their property sold or swapped. Obviously there is an infinite number of ways to market a home for sale, but I emphasize some of the most productive ways plus throw in a few tricks of the trade. Permanently swapping homes is one of the best options when sellers cannot drastically reduce the price. Trading homes by owner will also save sellers on the realtor commission.
1. Advertise, advertise, advertise!
Just like location, location, location is important in real estate, advertising is by far one of the most important factors (yet frequently overlooked) when it comes to selling a home in a slow market. |
