Top Strategies Real Estate Agents Use to Market Homes

 

In a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), sellers were asked what they value most in a real estate agent. Unsurprisingly, the top response was their ability to market homes effectively.

It’s no secret – how your home is marketed plays a key role in its visibility, buyer interest, and ultimately, its sale. Here are the top methods agents use to market homes, as highlighted by NAR, and how they benefit you:

1. Listing on the MLS


The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a powerful tool that connects your property to a broad network of agents and buyers. Being on the MLS ensures your home has maximum exposure, increasing the likelihood of a quick and profitable sale.

 

2. Yard Signs


A simple yet effective marketing strategy, yard signs catch the attention of potential buyers passing by. They also act as a beacon for neighbors and friends who may know someone interested in purchasing your home.

 

 

3. Hosting Open Houses


Open houses create buzz and give buyers a chance to explore your home in person. They often generate a sense of urgency and competition, which can result in better offers.

 

 

4. Showcasing on Agent Websites


Your agent’s website serves as a digital storefront for your home, presenting it to a targeted audience of motivated buyers with high-quality photos, descriptions, and even virtual tours.

 

 

5. Leveraging Social Networking


Social media platforms allow agents to share your listing widely, reaching potential buyers who may not have otherwise discovered it. Social posts also make it easy for viewers to share your property with others.

 

 

6. Providing Virtual Tours


For out-of-town buyers or those with busy schedules, virtual tours offer a convenient way to view your home. This strategy widens your pool of potential buyers by making your property accessible anytime, anywhere.

 

 

7. Using Video Marketing


Videos bring your home to life, highlighting standout features such as a gourmet kitchen, spacious backyard, or luxurious master suite. Video tours capture attention and create an emotional connection with buyers.

 

 

A top-tier agent does more than write a description and take photos of your home. They craft a comprehensive marketing strategy to ensure your home attracts attention, generates interest, and sells at the best price.
