Long Suffering Realtor Finds New Way To Sell Home And Other Assets
June 30, 2008
Devon Trabosh, a Realtor in Palm Beach County, Florida is tired of the market. Deven Trabosh has tried everything to sell her home. Nothing seemed to work. Tired of the ongoing disappointment, Trabosh hatched a plan to sell her home and find love at the same time.
Having grown tired of the singles bars and online dating sites like e-harmony. Deven Trabosh, in an effort to solve two problems in one fell swoop, has decided to sell her home and well…herself to the highest bidder.
Trabosh, unlucky in love and in selling her home, has com up with an out of the box idea as to how to finally sell her 4 bedroom, 2,000 square foot home by turning it into sort of Cupid’s Lair.
After enduring eight years of being single and suffering through a real estate market that has made it tough to sell her home, Trabosh has devised a promotion that is part fairytale and part Ashley Dupre’.
“Marry a Princess Lost in America,” Trabosh wrote in the ads she posted on eBay and Craigslist last week. She describes a life of romance and travel and a home decorated with vaulted ceilings, upgraded tile and a soaking tub in a gated community with a pool and tennis courts. “I figured let’s combine the ad because I’m looking for love and I’m looking to sell the house.”
So just how do you sell a home and offer yourself up as one of the amenities? She listed the home for $340,000 on a FSBO web site, but upped the price, adding a $500,000 shipping fee to include her “companionship”. That’s some awful pricey “companionship” !
“I’m not selling myself. I’m selling love…to meet that true love,” Trabosh says. “Of course, it’s gonna take more chemistry and connection. It’s not going to be instantaneous that I’m just going to be automatically for sale…it’s a package deal for true love.”
Trabosh says she hasn’t received any serious offers, but says she’s had nearly 500 responses, mostly positive, including one from Ottie of Surrey,
England, who e-mailed to say, “You are offering the perfect life with the perfect American princess.” 
In a few weeks she hopes to meet Claudio, and Italian wine and cheese taster, who she’s been corresponding with since he responded to the ad.
“I’m struggling…I don’t want to lose my house and I want to find somebody,” said Trabosh, so I came up with this dream plan because I’ve always dreamt about being a fairytale princess.”
You have to hand it to Trabosh, she seems to have found the ultimate lead generation system. Sorry Homegain, Trulia and Zillow.
