Online advertising
Online marketing, allows you to appeal to a wider audience and people outside your regular town and city, which means potential buyers will have quicker access to you. This could be via the likes of social media but you should ensure that your home is advertised virtually everywhere!
When it comes to online marketing you should look at free online listing websites and have the right agent to help you with this, even if it is on Facebook and Twitter. Even blogs could help you! An advert in both a newspaper and/or local newspapers can be beneficial and you could look at posting in local shop windows.
Catching the eye of the public

If you are looking at selling your home online, you are selling the lifestyle and style of your home, not just your walls, floors, curtains and furniture so use descriptive language and be sure that you meet all the requirements for a good advert, you can look for further inspiration, in magazines and property listings!
What image makes people click?
The main image you use of your property on websites and portals is so important because it is the first thing people see and hopefully they will want to see more. But what makes a really good images? Lifestyle photos are an excellent option, showing how you can live in the home and highlighting the features of the home. You could set your dining table with a beautiful dinner set or food and drink, or the best way you can make your bedroom look. Be organized!
Be creative and make the viewer want to click on your property to find out more!
Sell and show your neighborhood!
When marketing your home, you have to go above and beyond and share what is beyond your property. What town do you live in? Is it good for schools and jobs with a good economy? You are actually selling the entire neighborhood also because people want to live in a nice area, not just in a beautiful home. Is the crime rate low? Sell the neighborhood and show why it’s such a good place to live.
You may want to provide the buyer with any information such as leaflets or flyers, relevant magazine information, newspapers and anything that may provide relevant information. The viewers will then be more attracted to your home and the life they can enjoy being in your neighborhood with their family and pets.
