Drone Photography and Video:<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Drone photography and videos are quickly becoming a hot marketing tool for listings.

Target Older Generations With Print Media:<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If your inventory is primarily condos, single story townhomes, or +55 community properties, print media is worth your time. Even though newspaper sales have decreased in the past 15 years, readership of local newspapers and newsletters remains strong with older generations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Additionally, older generations continue to shy away from the internet. Lucky for you, the price of advertising in local papers has gone down as well. If you are looking to reach older buyers who need to downsize, the newspaper is the the #1 place to advertise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">35.

The NAR revealed that 85% of homebuyers found property descriptions to be one of the most important factors when searching online.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A few tips for creating fantastic descriptions include:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Using well-scored adjectives like \u201cluxurious,\u201d \u201ccaptivating,\u201d \u201cupdated,\u201d \u201cupgraded,\u201d and \u201cbeautiful\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Using search terms buyers are likely to use to find listings. Homebuyers don\u2019t care how websites sort their data, they are more likely to put precisely what they want into search engines. Words like \u201cCul-de-Sac,\u201d \u201cLakefront,\u201d \u201cRanch,\u201d \u201cBasketball,\u201d \u201cInground Pool,\u201d \u201cFinished Basement,\u201d \u201cBar,\u201d and \u201cLandscaping,\u201d should be featured for appropriate listings.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Avoid negative descriptions. While honesty is important, avoid words like \u201cfixer-upper,\u201d \u201coutdated,\u201d \u201cTLC,\u201d and \u201chandy-man special.\u201d Instead, use softer descriptions like, \u201cReady for a new owner to leave their mark.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">37.&nbsp; Crowdsource Listings Online<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Why should a real estate agent do all the work of selling a home when social media users want to help? If an agent is already sharing their listing videos and photos on social media, this one is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Simply tag the homeowners in the listing post on Facebook and Instagram. Their own social networks will help take care of the rest. By seeing a friend trying to sell their home, many users will share the listing on their own profiles to try and help. Its exposure for both the listing and the agent.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">38. Google AdWords<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If your inventory has a specific niche, Google AdWords may be able to help you sell listings faster and attract new seller leads, too. Google AdWords allows real estate agents to buy up certain keywords, so that their websites appear first in Google search results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For example, If you primarily sell mountain homes near Vail, CO, you could start AdWord campaigns for, \u201cHouses for sale in Vail, CO\u201d, \u201cColorado mountain homes for sale\u201d, and \u201cVail, CO real estate.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The key is finding the common theme to the properties you sell. If you use keywords that are too generic like \u201chomes for sale in colorado\u201d then the Google AdWords pricing will be far more expensive, the competition will be steeper, and the amount of qualified buyer leads will be smaller. Using a specific city and property type (ranch, condo, etc) is a great way to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">39. Network with Buyer Real Estate Agents<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>One of the quickest ways to sell faster is by networking with other agents. Some listing agents invite buyer agents to private walkthroughs for listings about to hit the market. Others will spread the word to real estate Facebook and LinkedIn groups, while others will email their list of contacts about their newest listings. No matter how it&#8217;s done, letting other agents know about your listings and what sets your listing apart is a great way to sell faster.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">40.
