SIGNS AND PHOTOS ARE MOST IMPORTANT AFTER THE MLS & INTERNET
Columbia, SC – We are amazed at how many people list for full commissions and have no clue that their agent put no photo or one photo of their house on websites. Other then physically being in the home, photos are the best way to show off your home. You can insist on multiple photos on websites. If the agent resists, get a new agent. Slide shows are effective as well as virtual tours. Columbia Real Estate have sold homes never seen live where only photos were viewed. In the digital age, if you are skilled, you can provide the photos. Make sure you monitor to make sure they are on the MLS and other sites. You can pay a professional photographer if the agent doesn’t provide this valuable option. Take outside shots of the neighborhood if there are attractive features. People buy neighborhoods and not just homes. Ponds, tennis courts, pools, trees, golf courses, water, docks, play grounds, trails, are all selling points. Label the photos to impact further.
Signs are a big winner in Columbia SC neighborhoods with signage if they get drive by traffic, especially with Columbia SC Rent to Own or Columbia SC Lease Option properties. The sign should be tasteful and not taken down if you receive a contract until you close. Remember never allow an agent to put a contract pending or sold on the sign as deals fall through and this stops people from calling. Get a 24-hour info-line option that describes the house and has a caller ID to follow up on calls to the Info-line. We have sold many homes with this feature. It is more effective then flyers then run out or get wet. It allows tracking 24/7/. You can show enthusiasm with features through your voice that does not come through with flyers. Write out a script to not overlook important details yourself for the recording.
