HONESDALE -- A home for sale comes with a bonus for anyone who finds the owner a buyer in Wayne County. Try a bonus worth thousands of dollars.

"It's a gorgeous country retreat, here in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. The home is situated in the center of 30 acres," said Dave Rickert.

Rickert did his best sales pitch while showing off his spacious home in Honesdale. How spacious? There are five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a garage that he used for his candy business and much, much more.

"It could be a bed and breakfast. It could be a business," he said.

Now, 10 years after he built the two-family home on the outskirts of town, Rickert wants to sell. But it could be lucrative for anyone who helps him find a buyer.  He's offering $25,000 to anyone who finds the next owner.

"With the commission you would pay a real estate company, this is just an incentive for anyone out there," said Rickert.

He suggests he could donate the money to charity if someone comes through with a buyer or they could get all $25,000.

Either way, Rickert is using a different approach since the average home sells for a little more than $100,000 in the Honesdale area, nowhere near his asking price of nearly $700,000.

"There's someone out there. We're putting an incentive out to find that buyer who can enjoy and take advantage of what we've created in the past 10 years here."
