If your properties on not on the internet, you are losing valuable contacts.
Along with advertising in your community (see blog Building a Buyers List is a Must) it is essential you are showing off those properties online.
There are many places you can do this online for free such as classified ad sites.
Think of these places as an advertising tool to get email in your box and the phone ringing!
Do yourself a favor and be organized before you start listing to save you valuable time.
Make sure you have the information about the home ready.
Bedrooms, bathrooms, Sq Ft, year home was built, and of course special things about this home that would make it appealing.
Each classified ad site is basically the same in what information you need to put in.
Always include your contact information at the bottom of each listing. (Phone or email)
Put your slogan on word pad and keep that open to copy and paste.
Example: Contact me today at 407-834-1325 if you have any quesitons, glad to help.
You have taken photos of the homes and they need to uploaded to your computer.
One of things my marketing manager passed along to me was how many people are not organized when it comes to photos.
Yes, we all the tendency to upload photos to our My Pictures and are astonished when we want to find one and see we are sorting through a hundred!
This is time consuming and can be avoided.
In your My Pictures Folder you need to have a master folder called Homes For Sale.
In that folder make a folder for each address. 1234 my street, city and upload the pictures for that address only.
Upload the next set of pictures for the next home with that address 123456 my street, city.
When you are adding your information and photos to the classified ads you now only need to go to the folder for that address and your pictures are ready for you.
Catch potential buyers and investors eyes!
You title is a major key to you success. I am sure you have seen this in email marketing.
Take a look at your email and think about what you delete immediately because you do not like the title or think it is spam.
Consider this when writing the title for your listing on these sites.
Example: Buy one House - Get One Free
Would you want to see what this is about?
You are not alone, many people did and this was a title on one of my homes for sale classified listings.
I had two homes on one property in pre foreclosure. The investor could buy up the entire property at a low price and there were two homes available.
The deal was closed and I did get many phone calls and laughs about that heading. It brought attention!
Consider your target audience for each home. Is it Move in Ready, near Disney World, Big Beautiful Pool, a foreclosure that must sell now!
Take the time for your title and it will be valuable time well spent.
