Are you thinking about listing your home? Or, is your home listed but not getting much attention? Here are two ways to guarantee more online views to potentially find the right buyer faster. The truth is that most people narrow down their search by using the internet. If a property doesn’t catch a buyer's eye online, they are not going to want to see it in person. The most important question to ask yourself or your real estate agent is…
“What is going to make potential buyers want to come look at my property?”
1. Get Professional Photos
Having professional photos will draw more attention to your listing, and as a result, will bring more online clicks by potential home buyers. While more clicks don’t guarantee a sale, they do mean more potential buyers are looking at your listing. By reaching more buyers online, your home stands a better chance of having more people schedule a showing.
2. Make Simple Updates
The second thing you can do it make simple updates to your home. Small updates can really spruce up your home without breaking the bank. Think of things that you can do yourself or easily hire someone to do. A few ideas of simple updates are replacing the hardware on the kitchen or bathroom cabinets, updating art work, touching up paint, giving your carpets a deep clean, decluttering the home, adding new landscape, replacing or painting the front door, purchasing new bedding, adding new light fixtures or ceiling fans and making sure every room feels complete that way potential home buyers will be able to easily visualize themselves in that space.
The Perfect Example: 4525 Parkside Villa
4525 Parkside Villa is the perfect example of how simple updates can change the look of a listing. Akers Ellis Real Estate Agent, Kathleen DeWitt, had a limited budget in mind and completely transformed this two-bedroom villa to make it more visually appealing. By making simple updates like painting the walls, adding a new light above the dining room and updating the decorations and bedding, the space looks totally different.
This is an incredible opportunity to own a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom updated Parkside Villa. The villa is centrally located on the Island so you can enjoy the close proximity of the beach, Night Heron Park, The Sanctuary and Town Center Market. The villa's rejuvenated, coastal decor gives it a look that has already attracted more potential buyers. You will appreciate the care this property has been given by the owners and Kathleen. The kitchen has granite countertops, all the necessary housewares and stainless-steel appliances. This villa has a generous screened in porch for outside dining, nature watching, enjoying your morning coffee or getting lost in a great read. Also, it has a great place to store your beach gear. The back open-air porch conveniently opens up to the courtyard. Please contact Kathleen DeWitt to set up your showing of this amazing villa.
