(Scroll down for video) Selling an upscale apartment in today’s economy is tough, people have to be creative to attract buyers with good prices or good incentives.
The owner of Taylor Gourmet sandwiches in Washington D.C., is selling his upscale property and he added an incentive of 5-years of free hoagie sandwiches.
For those who are unfamiliar with the terminology, hoagies are essentially large sandwiches complete with sausages and cheese.
Casey Patten is the seller of the condominium, which is located in the heart of Chinatown in Washington D.C. He bought the one bedroom apartment in 2005 for $475,000 and is now selling it for $489,000.
The 694 square foot condo was designed to resemble the sandwich shop, which is in close proximity to house, making it convenient for the buyer to easily take advantage of the offer of free hoagies.
When asked how many hoagies the buyer can get for free, and how often he can go to the establishment throughout the 5 years, the condo’s listing agent, Jay Bauer, replied: "The gifts come in the form of a gift card worth $2,470, and the buyer can use it any way he or she chooses, once a week, four a month, or all at once, although if you choose the last option, Taylor ass to be notified 24 hours in advance.”
Bauer said that at the open house, there will also be plenty of free food for potential buyers, just another incentive to come and see the property.
