                                                                                                            If you really want to sell your home, you need to expand your pool of buyers to include those people who want to buy a home but can’t qualify for a standard mortgage at this time. This pool is actually much, much larger than the pool of buyers who can get a mortgage right now according to real estate expert Wendy Patton.

If you’re ready to get creative about financing to entice buyers, here are three major options:

1. See if your lender will allow a mortgage assumption.

2. Help a buyer build a down payment through a lease-to-own deal.

3. If you’ve got the equity, offer financing yourself.

If stressed-out sellers and hard-to-qualify buyers could just join forces they could both achieve their goals. The answer may lie in “creative financing.”

Here are 10 Unique Selling Tactics:

1. Hold an open house party

2. Take home staging to the extreme

3. Help serious buyers with financing

4. Have a little faith

5. Throw in some extravagant extras

6. Make your home a grand prize

7. Get Web savvy

8. Let your house do the talking

9. Put your house on the auction block

10. Let buyers sleep on it
