When sellers get creative, they sometimes ask Becky, “Can I raffle my house instead of selling it the traditional way?” It sounds fun, but it’s rarely practical—or legal.
Becky explains that raffles are heavily regulated and often treated like lotteries or gambling, with strict rules that usually reserve raffles for qualifying nonprofit organizations, not individual homeowners. Even if someone could technically structure a legal raffle, the complexity around permits, disclosures, ticket sales, and transferring clear title makes it an extremely risky path.
Instead of raffles, Becky suggests:
Creative but legal buyer incentives, such as rate buydowns or closing‑cost credits.
Smarter pricing strategies that pull in more buyers without “giving the home away.”
Aggressive, AI‑aided marketing to reach wider and more targeted audiences online.
In short, she steers clients away from raffles and toward strategies that actually close.
