Selling in Q4 / holiday season isn’t about blasting the market — it’s about precision, motivation, and creative positioning. This is actually a great time if you play it right (especially given your investor-focused audience and creative-finance angle). Below is the highest-leverage Q4 strategy, broken down clearly 👇 Fewer buyers ≠ worse buyers Holiday buyers are typically: - More motivated - More qualified - Less price-sensitive - Often facing deadlines (job relocation, tax planning, divorce, estate, end-of-year goals) Your job is to filter for seriousness, not volume. 🏆 The BEST Way to Sell in Q4 (Ranked) #1 — Offer Creative Financing (This Wins Q4) If you can control the terms, this is by far the strongest move. Why it crushes in Q4: - Buyers are cash-tight after holidays - Rates are still a mental barrier - Banks slow way down - Investors want deals wrapped up before year-end High-converting options: - Seller Financing - Subject-To - Lease Option - Owner Carry with a balloon - Slightly higher price + better terms 💡 Q4 buyers care more about “Can I do this now?” than “Is this the cheapest?” #2 — Market to Investors First (Not Retail) Retail buyers emotionally slow down in Q4.Investors do not. Best investor angles: - Cash flow - Tax write-offs - 1031 timing - Portfolio expansion before year-end - Rent increases in January Where to push it: - Your Skool community - Investor email list - Facebook investor groups - Agent lists with investor buyers - Direct outreach to flippers/landlords 📌 You already know this world — lean into it. #3 — Price Strategically (Not “Low”) Do not race to the bottom. Instead: - Price slightly above value - Pair it with: Psychology:In Q4, a “good deal” = less friction, not just less price. #4 — Bundle Incentives That Feel Seasonal This works insanely well during holidays 🎄 Examples: - “Close by Dec 31 and get: 🎯 Create urgency without desperation. #5 — Reduce Friction to the Absolute Minimum
