One of the most daunting challenges that sellers encounter in today’s real estate market is marketing. It doesn’t matter how attractive or appealing your home is, without the right marketing approach, getting it to sell is going to take a lot of time and work. We’ve compiled some of our most proven tips on how to market your home so that you can sell it in less time for a better price.
Marketing Tactics To Make Your Home Irresistible
A single picture can either lure in potential buyers or weed them out. Take attractive pictures of your property and use them to sell your home. Make sure your pictures include the best lighting, and don’t contain any junk, shrubs, cars or distracting items in them. Crop your home from different attractive angles to help play up its true value and appeal. Think about what you would want to see if you were interested in buying your house.
Always include pictures of any amenities or special features your property has, such as:
- Decks
- Pools
- Swing Sets
- Special Landscaping
Consider doing some minor upgrades to improve your home’s curb appeal and market value.
High-Tech & Social Marketing Tips For A Digital World
Create a virtual tour for prospective buyers to see. Let’s face it, to attract a large audience, you need to cast a wide net. Not all potential buyers are local enough to schedule a physical showing. Virtual tours make it more convenient for prospective buyers to see your property no matter where they are. Be sure to film your virtual tour as if you were personally showing the buyer your home in person. Music and dialogue can help to get your phone ringing. Stage your home by creating the scene with the right amount of lighting, furnishings, décor and colors.
Get creative with your flyers, signage, and contact info. This will help to motivate buyers to call sooner than later. Host open houses and don’t forget to make it hospitable by including basic snacks.
Post pictures and video tours of your property online and make them shareable by email and social media. By increasing the potential for your marketing efforts to go viral, you increase the amount of exposure your home gets to potential buyers.
