Real estate agents know a thing or two about selling a house in person, but selling online is a bit trickier. To appeal to buyers hiring real estate agents online, EXIT Realty Upper Midwest shares what you should know about boosting a home’s online listing to score the job.

Follow this expert advice:

  1. A photograph is worth a thousand buyers. Hands down, the most important part to listing your home online are the photographs. Make sure they are taken by a professional with high-quality equipment or learn the art of photography yourself; it makes all the difference to prospective buyers. Take plenty of pictures at different angles all around the house. It’s the first impression that counts and this is your first impression.
  2. It’s all about the neighborhood, too. A prospective buyer isn’t just buying a house, but a neighborhood. Talk up local parks, good schools and friendly neighbors with a sense of community.
  3. Home is where the kitchen is. If you’re into commercial real estate, ignore this piece of advice. Show off the kitchen’s best features, any new renovations, if it comes with the appliances, and the cooking space. Talk up the kitchen as much as possible. 

  4. Brag about character and upgrades. Everyone loves a house with a history—but not one that sounds like a lot of work. If a house has original molding or custom features, mention it. If the master bath has been recently upgraded, emphasize the details. It’s important to balance the old and new of a real estate property.
  5. Know what’s trending. There are some absolutes in real estate—the master bath better impress and outdoor living space is always welcome—but real estate tends to have trends. Learn the trends by keeping your ear to the ground and check in online for more trends and tips.
