No matter how attractive your home is or how well priced it is, if prospective buyers are unaware of your home, you aren’t going to receive any offers.

Therefore, it is vital that you are proactive in promoting your home, and at Austin Property Services, we think there is a lot that vendors can do to make their home more appealing to buyers. If you are looking to sell your home, here are some tips to further promote your house for sale.

Use social media to your advantage

No matter what your opinion on social media is, you will find that it is a great platform to promote your property. Share images of your home and link to the estate agent’s site or the online property portal to generate interest. Make sure you ask your friends and family members to share your content and hopefully it will be placed in front of prospective buyers.

Take great images of your home

It is important to take high-quality images of your home, and this also includes the outside of your home. If you have the time and money to arrange professional photographs of your home, it makes sense to do so. In a crowded marketplace, you want your listings to stand out as much as possible, and fantastic images play a huge part in generating interest and drawing prospective buyers to your home.

Don’t overlook traditional aspects

While the emergence of online platforms and social media sites have transformed the way people sell homes, there is still a lot to be said for following traditional methods. If your likely buyer is an older person or you live in an area where there is a lot of foot traffic, for sale signs and listings in an estate agent window, or even a newsagent’s window, will help to create interest in your home.

Not every buyer is internet savvy and not person is actively searching for a home. A for sale sign may jog someone’s memory of a friend or an acquaintance looking for a home, or it may present an opportunity for someone.

There is no harm in supplementing modern promotional methods with some traditional promotional methods.

Selling your home is a challenging process and even if you have called on the services of a skilled and experienced estate agent, you can do more to aid the sales process. This makes sense because selling your home is likely to be your top priority at this point, so doing what you can to aid the process will hopefully have a positive outcome.

You will also find it is helpful to promote the local area when it comes to selling a home. Many buyers need to be persuaded about the merits of one area over another, so if there is any guidance you can offer, it may make all the difference in selling your home.
