Edmonton Real Estate Blog

For a real estate agent, using superior skills and consistent marketing for listings is a sure way to develop new listings, as well as to sell properties that they have been hired to handle.

All Edmonton properties should get the same attention but of course, the more expensive a property is, the more there will be to market.

Here are some marketing strategies that can bring up real estate sales!

The Importance of Photography

No matter what the price of an Edmonton property, each listing should employ a professional photographer.  Photographs can awe or turnoff people. Photographs can be used on websites, social media, internet platforms, a variety of different print advertising, branding and more. High quality advertising is a must because it portrays the agent’s brand and what Edmonton properties they are marketing.

Own Website

It is ideal for Edmonton properties to have their own dedicated property-specific address or domain. The intention for this is to make it easier for buyers and agents to locate properties, especially with the internet being the largest resource of the real estate industry.

Online Presence

Accepting and utilizing the internet is the key in reaching a magnitude of young audience members planning to have their very own Edmonton home. Posting to different sites and using social media is just some of the ways you can use the internet to your advantage.

A philosopher once said “Every battles is won before it is fought”  The real estate industry is a battle field where only the ones with the best prepared strategies can survive the day to day skirmishes. Luck favors the prepared so prepare hard!

We have already arrived at the end of the first quarter of 2017 and yet 2016 feels like it was here only yesterday. High demand in certain price markets and low interest rates were the essence of housing sales in 2016 and 2017 is shaping up to be another good year.

Although spring is upon us, it is not too late to sell your Edmonton house this 2017.

Here are some tips for sellers to adapt to the latest market conditions.

Get the Right Agent

A seller’s best investment is time spent researching agents. If you hire a bad agent this can cause you tens of thousands of dollars. With the use of the internet, social marketing sites and agent reviews, information about Edmonton Realtors is plentiful and available.

After you have identified the agent you think you might want to work with, interview them in person. Ask for sales-activity reports, existing listings, time-on-market averages etc. You’ll know an agent has a lot of experience in the market if he or she knows when the best times for open houses are and how to initiate a price war if the market permits it.

Do-It-Yourself

Edmonton home sellers can do several simple things which can improve the appearance of their Edmonton house which then will increase buyer interest and boost their home’s profile:

Clean:

Cleaning is a way of life and there is no way out of it! Cleaning is a must when selling an Edmonton home. It’s hard for buyers to picture themselves living in a home that is messy and dirty!

Depersonalize:

Show that you have more room to spare to potential buyers. Pack up family photos, kids’ toys and store worn out furniture.

Illuminate:

A bright and cheery Edmonton home is very attractive. Open windows, get rid of heavy curtains and add brighter light bulbs in dark areas.

The Greener the Grass the Better

Green grass is a must in an Edmonton property. Surveys show that a great curb appeal can increase value by 10 percent or more. You can do research on how to make your yard more appealing and try improving it yourself. Or you can hire a professional to do the work.

Know the Position of the Market

To sell is to be prepared; knowing what is happening in the real estate market is a priority for any seller. This is where hiring an agent comes in handy – the agent can advise you on what to do if the sale of your Edmonton home encounters some stumbling blocks.

Spring Time

It is much better to showcase your Edmonton home in the spring season rather than doing it in winter when everything is still cold and dead. If you are selling in the winter, prepare in advance and take your smart phone or hand-held camera and take exterior shots when your garden is in bloom.

Don’t wait for a later time in 2017 to start selling your Edmonton house. Nothing like the present!!
