Selling or Renting Property Online? 10 Things You MUST Do
Regardless of whether you are selling or renting as owner or agent you can improve you chances of a sale by making sure you do most and ideally all of these key points, which I have found work best for both me and thousands of other owner/agents over the years.
1. choose web sites wisely - paying to list on high traffic property sites is good but there is also high competition too - listing free on new sites usually means your ad sticks out more and may be the only one in your area given considerable advantages.
2. Explain your offer in detail - too many advertisers write a single sentence and expect to sell properties worth 200,000

7. Answer questions quickly and avoid the need to raise questions - ideally cover most common questions in the details or an FAQ section, most folk will not ask but want the ANSWERS in the ad or on your web site.

10. Set fair prices - it’s a competitive world - consider short lets or “extras” in with the rental “free car hire (with conditions) with 2 weeks rental”, free golf membership and the like.
