Everyone is house hunting online these days and while it still remains the top priority of your listing agent to market and sell your property, there are a few things you can do to help sell your property

1. Find an estate agent that knows your area the best

The first and most important step to take, is to find the right estate agent to market your property for you online. One way is to use a top property portal to see which agents lists in your area, take a drive around your neighbourhood and take note of the agent boards - or you could simply contact us for your selling and buying needs!

2. Make sure your photos look great!

The estate agent usually come to the home and take photos to compile a photographic impression of what the house looks like. Remember, people first shop with their eyes, thereafter they will show interest, and only then will they visit the property for a viewing. So, prepare your home for the agent, to help them take neat, inviting, and homely pictures.

3. Use Social Media to share your property online

You can share your property to your social media channels. Now, you can share it to your own Facebook wall, Tweet about it, share the exact link to your WhatsApp contacts, post it on Linkedin or even email it to someone directly.

By sharing your online listing, you expand the reach of people that could view your house and increase your odds of selling quicker.

4. Use the features of your home to enhance its appeal

We all have reasons we love our homes, that’s why we bought them, but tell potential buyers about these features. Tell them about the “Entertainer’s dream kitchen” or the “Beautiful sparkling lap pool”, you might have gotten used to seeing them, but everyone who walks into your house sees it for the first time, and they want to imagine themselves living there.

5. First impressions last

Whether it is the beautifully manicured lawn outside that will impress potential buyers, or the cleanliness of the kitchen, make an effort to leave an impression inside and outside of your home.

Bake some cookies and let the smell of scrumptious cookies fill the house. It might just be the difference in hanging the SOLD sign within a week or two outside your house or having to wait two or three months before it is SOLD.
