Spring Marketing Tips for Sellers

After speaking about accurate home pricing and market competition, I would like to talk today about what sellers can do to market their homes. I have just a few tips here for you, but if you'd like to know more, please contact me directly.

Marketing Your Home

1. Professional Photos: If you're hiring a professional realtor, you might as well get a professional photographer. This is just one more way to make your home stand out from all the others. Too often I see listings with very poor quality photographs up, and this will instantly turn buyers away. Let people see your property, not a fuzzy image that causes suspicion.


2. Strong Online Presence: A whopping 94% of buyers find their home on the internet. Your realtor should have your home on hundreds of different websites to market it to as many different potential buyers as possible.


3. De-Clutter: To market your property, it should be clean and clutter free. Buyers want to see a nice, open floor plan and you have to do your best to give them this. Take down family photos and refrigerator magnets, and anything else that obscures the true dimensions of your home. Don't forget the exterior of your home, either, because that is what will initially attract buyers to your property. Some simple landscaping can go a long way. In general, make sure your home is clean, open, and neutral (meaning your personality shouldn't show).

Thanks again for watching. I hope this information has been helpful to you. If you want any other ideas on how to improve the value of your home or how to get it ready for a spring sale, be sure to contact me. Consider me your #1 resource for real estate.
