Owning a vacant or abandoned property can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve moved out of state, inherited a house you don’t want, or are tired of dealing with endless repairs. Whatever the case, trying to sell an abandoned home quickly often feels like an uphill battle. Many buyers hesitate when they see a property that’s been sitting empty, especially if it looks neglected or needs major work.

Still considering the traditional route? Here are eight smart tips that can help you sell a vacant or abandoned home on the open market:
1. Get a Professional Appraisal
Before you list, it’s important to know exactly what your property is worth. A professional appraisal gives you clarity and ensures you price your home accurately market.
2. Clean and Refresh the Property
First impressions matter. Remove debris, mow the lawn, trim bushes, and consider repainting or making basic repairs. A clean, well-kept property feels more inviting and can attract better offers.
3. Stage the Home (Even Lightly)
A vacant house can feel cold and lifeless. Adding a few pieces of furniture or decor—even just rugs, lamps, and a sofa—can instantly transform the space. For maximum impact, a professional stager can make the home look move-in ready, though it can be costly.
4. Invest in High-Quality Photos
Most buyers will first see your home online. Professional photos, drone footage, and well-lit interiors can showcase your home’s potential and help it stand out.
5. Market Across Multiple Platforms
The more exposure, the better. List your abandoned home on sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Trulia. Some real estate agents may offer wide syndication, while others might charge extra for premium placements.
6. Be Flexible With Showings
Since the home is vacant, it’s easier to allow showings at different times—evenings, weekends, or last-minute requests. Flexibility increases your chances of connecting with a serious buyer.
7. Consider an Experienced Local Agent
An agent familiar with selling abandoned homes can help with pricing, marketing, and negotiations. Just remember that traditional sales come with commissions and closing costs, which can add up to thousands of dollars.
