What Goes Into A Real Estate Ad That Sells?
If you’re looking to market your home so that it reaches the widest potential audience, the advertisement is going to play a major role in that. The advertisement, whether it’s in local magazines, on a realty search website, or otherwise, is what gets people interested in the property. Here, we’re going to look at how to put together the ad that brings in the crowd that you want.
Don’t leave out any of the pertinent details
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you provide all of the necessary details to give potential buyers a clear and precise view of your property. Make sure you include details on the type of property, the number of rooms and how much space they offer, the location of the property and how it faces, as well as paying special attention to local amenities and features.
Use imagery to your advantage
While the details mentioned above are usually what’s going to get the potential buyer more interested in the property, it’s the pictures that you post of it that tend to get people to click on your ad in the first place. Taking great property photos is all about being patient and staging it appropriately. Clear away all items that are too personal and wait for a sunny day, so the exterior is as well-lit as possible, but you also have plenty of natural light filling up the rooms, as well. The more photos you have, the better, as it shows the potential buyer that you’re not trying to hide the property by any means.
Give an idea of what the physical space is like
Aside from the photos, you want to give the viewer an idea of what it’s actually like to explore the home so that they can picture themselves in it. With floor plan services, you can make sure that they have a thorough view of the positioning and sizing of each room. There are more advertisements that are using virtual tour technology as well, so the buyer can go through the home as if they were actually there, exploring it for themselves.
Know how to write a good property description
While all of the factors above can get a viewer interested in your property, and can help them find properties that fit their needs, there’s something to be said for a really compelling property description. Effectively, a good description should tap into the emotional side of the property-buying process. While describing the property accurately and in detail, you should focus on the strong selling points of your property, whether it’s the number of rooms, a spacious garden, proximity to schools or transport routes, and so on. This is where you really hammer the nail of your home’s selling proposition.
Good advertising in real estate is all about knowing what factors your audience is looking for, and how to connect your property to their wants and needs. Hopefully, the tips above help you do just that.
