Getting the first few clients will be the main challenge for you but luckily finding prospective customers is easy. Just look in the real estate section of your local newspaper. You can get the address of all homes for sale and send a direct mail letter to the owners along with an attractive brochure.

Tip: Your sales letter should quantify the benefits of using your service in terms of extra dollars that their house could sell for. Also highlight the fact that selling faster will mean that they can start using the money earlier and invest it for getting the returns sooner. And explain how this would save them a lot of time and the hassle which generally accompanies prolonged selling time.

A lot of people approach the property agents to help sell their properties. Since your business complements the services offered by property agents very well, teaming up with property agents could be a big propeller for this unique enterprise.

Once you have completed work for 3-4 clients, you can use them as references to further your business and establish credibility in the market.

Tip: Try to apply your learning first to your own home and the homes of your friends to enhance your understanding of the concepts. Initially you could do this free of charge, for your friends just as a learning exercise. If you have done your homework properly, you will improve the look of their home. Moreover, if something small does go wrong you won't have to worry that your friends will spread bad news about your business.
