Successful listing agents are a golden combination of part transaction ninja and professional marketer. But when it comes to marketing, what can you do to give your client's home a competitive edge?
Here are 3 impressive ways one listing rose above the rest online, in-print, and in 3D -
If you've ever binge-watched a certain show where buyers tour 3 homes to choose a winner, then you know the allure of scoping out each prospect. You can capture the same kind of attention with an HGTV style blog post showcasing your listing.
Let potential buyers explore the home with descriptive language, engaging visuals, and insider information that they can't get anywhere else.
We fondly refer to these blog posts as 'Featured Listings' in our Marketing Department and do all of the heavy lifting to bring these homes to life for our agents. They're viewed by thousands on our blog, paid to be advertised on Facebook, and emailed out to nearly 20,000 contacts. Talk about exposure for your seller! See examples.
There's just something about the feel of a glossy, professional marketing piece in your hands. It's the new car smell of advertising.
But flyers are expected. Delight and surprise both buyers and sellers with an entire magazine showcasing the home.
Photos can only do so much for a home. To give buyers the complete sense of a home, you need a truly immersive experience.
Why click, click, click through photos when Matterport has transformed the online preview experience? There's no guessing on the floorplan or how the home will function for their lifestyle - buyers can explore easily this innovative 3D tour.
The buzz factor is truly the best part of Matterport. It gets people talking about your listing and your marketing. Our agents need to simply reserve the Matterport camera and the rest is as simple as 1...2...3...Action!
Any Realtor can put a home in MLS and have it syndicated to all of the major search engines, and professional photography should be a standard part of your marketing plan.
Think of how you'll compare on your next listing appointment when your Real Estate marketing plan includes a professionally written and promoted featured blog post, a high-end magazine, and a 3D tour!
