If you’re thinking about selling your property, you’re probably worried about it sitting for months on the market without anyone even taking a look. And the worst part is that it can happen! You’re not worrying over nothing, or feeling irrational about your drive to sell your home.
However, you can create interest in your property using a few handy tricks. The market has survived for this long, with its ups and downs and people making money at differing rates – there’s room for your ambitions as well!
Create a Very Glossy Listing
A glossy listing will always be in your favor. The more a buyer can see the house for what it is from an online business card, the more likely they are to pick up the phone and schedule a viewing. So, think about the kind of details a buyer would really be interested in.
For example, not just the amount of rooms, but how the rooms are set up. Does one bedroom get a lot more sun than another? Is the wifi signal weak in the bathroom but strong in the kitchen? These facts won’t put someone off – they’ll draw them in to find out more!
Allow a Buyer to See Potential
If you want someone to really be interested in your home, you need them to see just how comfortable they could be living there. This means you might need to rearrange a few things! However, you can also work with a company that uses the latest virtual staging standard to set the scene right in each room, which will give you more options of pictures to post. Once you’ve got this all done, you can create a winning listing that’ll be the showstopper on any property website’s front page.
Work with an Agency That Uses Word of Mouth
Word of mouth marketing is one of the strongest kinds for the real estate market. After all, it’s not just what people see online. It’s what they hear from their nearest and dearest around them. So try to find an agency that incorporates this selling tactic into their overall strategy. When an agency grants potential buyers a sense of exclusivity, and can chat for hours about properties that haven’t hit the website yet, they’re going to have more success in securing the price you’re looking for.
Sell at the Right Time
Of course, sometimes the market conditions just aren’t right. If it’s that time of year when everyone is putting a property up for sale, you might get drowned out. So wait for those quiet yet still in demand moments throughout the year. Just before spring, for example, in March and April, or just after summer but before Christmas. Long story short, it’s best to sell when the market is dimming but people are still on the lookout for a good deal.
Creating interest in a property feels like a hard task. In reality it’s complicated, but far more doable than you’d ever believe!
