Once you have landed a listing your job as a real estate agent has just started you now need to prepare the property for sale as well as market it correctly. Your goal is to increase your reach and exposure as much as possible to promote your listing to as many potential buyers as possible. In order to do this correctly and effectively you need to follow these five tips and if you do you are sure to sell your listing faster and at more of a premium selling price.
1.) Stage The Property: It is very important that you have your listing staged for sale to bring out the most appeal that is possible. Having a property staged makes it feel more comfortable and inviting to potential buyers and will allow them to better envision the property as their potential home instead of just a property for sale. Having a home staged for sale is one of the best ways to sell your listing faster and at more of a premium selling price.
2.) Create A Detailed And Comprehensive Listing: It is imperative that you create a detailed and comprehensive listing. A big mistake that many realtors make is thinking that less is more and that they can entice a potential buyer with a minimalist style listing but they are wrong. Potential buyers don’t want to waist their time with a property they know not much about. You can also encourage potential buyers to start thinking that you are hiding something from them.
3.) Use A Professional Photographer: I understand that many of you realtors believe that you are semi-professional photographers. But we recommend that you hire a professional real estate photographer for your listing to really highlight your listing in a way that boosts its appeal as much as possible. Even though photography may be a hobby of yours in order to increase your chances as much as possible we recommend you choose to go with a professional.
4.) Market The Property Through Social Media: Experts say that a whopping 90% of potential buyers start their home search on the Internet and social media platforms are a big part of this. They are also a great way to increase the reach and exposure of listing to a wide variety of potential buyers from all over. Social media platforms are great for meeting potential buyers, developing a relationship, and encouraging a sale.
5.) Be Willing And Ready To Show At All Times: Although it may be a bit more time consuming and undoubtedly an annoyance it is very important that not only are you always ready to show but your listing is as well. If your are willing and ready to drop everything at anytime to show your listing the chances that you sell your listing faster and at more of a premium selling price go way up.
