How do I make my home irresistible online?
Want buyers lining up online? Here’s exactly how to make your home irresistible online.
Selling Fast & for the Most Money
You want a fast sale and top dollar. Stop guessing. Follow a proven, step-by-step plan that forces buyers to act. This is practical, tactical, and built to win in today’s online market.
First impression wins: photos and video
- Hire a pro photographer. Listings with professional photos attract far more clicks.
- Use wide-angle, natural-light shots. Lead with the living room, kitchen, and the best bedroom.
- Add a 60–120 second walk-through video or a 3D virtual tour. Buyers who see a tour spend more time on your page and convert.
Stage to sell, not to live
- Declutter and depersonalize. Empty surfaces, remove family photos.
- Neutralize colors and set one focal area per room.
- Add fresh flowers, clean linens, and minimal decor. Staging makes online photos convert into showings.
Write a listing that converts
- Headline: state the strongest benefit (location, outdoor space, recent upgrades).
- Lead with top 3 selling points in the first 100 words.
- Use short, scannable bullets: size, beds/baths, upgrades, walk score, commute times.
- End with a clear call-to-action: “Book a showing today.”
Price and market strategy
- Price for attention. Overpricing kills clicks; underpricing invites low offers.
- Use comparable sales and buyer demand, not wishful thinking.
- Consider a short marketing window with staged open houses to create urgency.
Optimize the listing for search and clicks
- Use keywords buyers search: “sell your home fast”, “homes for sale [neighborhood]”, “move-in ready”.
- Fill every MLS field. Upload clear, descriptive captions for photos.
- Post on major portals and local social channels within 24 hours.
Boost visibility with paid ads and targeted distribution
- Run a 5–7 day social ad campaign targeting local buyers and relocators.
- Promote the virtual tour and top photos as carousel ads.
- Retarget people who viewed the listing with a second, shorter video.
Quick 7-step action plan (do this now)
- Declutter and deep clean.
- Book professional photography and a virtual tour.
- Stage key rooms (kitchen, living, master).
- Write a benefit-first headline and 100-word lead.
- Price based on comps and demand.
- Post everywhere within 24 hours.
- Run a short targeted ad campaign.
