Why Is a House Listing Important?

by Debbie Goldberg 04/21/2019

If you intend to sell a home, it helps to allocate time and resources to produce an effective property listing. Ultimately, a house listing can help a property seller make a positive first impression on potential buyers. And if a listing is informative and engaging, it may lead a buyer to set up a house showing.

Now, let's take a look at three tips to help you craft a house listing that hits the mark with prospective buyers.

1. Analyze the Buyer's Perspective

Think about why a buyer may pursue your house over all other available properties. Then, you can put together a home listing that accounts for the buyer's perspective.

As a home seller, your goal is to stir up interest from as many potential buyers as you can. If you assess the buyer's perspective closely, you can craft a home listing that accounts for key factors that distinguish your residence from other properties. And as a result, your home listing may help you make your house an attractive choice to dozens of prospective buyers.

2. Provide Accurate Home Information

Although you may be tempted to stretch the truth when you craft your home listing, there is no reason to do so. Because if you try to hide home problems from buyers, you may put a property sale in jeopardy down the line.

On the other hand, if you include accurate home information in your listing, you can help a buyer make an informed decision about your house. And if a buyer finds your home may match his or her expectations, this individual could set up a showing to take an in-depth look at your residence.

3. Include High-Resolution Photos of Your Home

High-resolution photos that show off the beauty of your kitchen, bedrooms and other areas of your house are must-haves in your property listing. In some instances, you may be able to capture spectacular images of your home with your camera or smartphone. Or, you can hire a professional real estate photographer to take pictures of your home for a property listing.

Clearly, there are many things you can do to transform an ordinary house listing into an exceptional one. And if you work with a real estate agent, you can get expert help as you prepare a home listing and perform other house selling tasks.

A real estate agent understands how to sell a residence and is happy to share his or her housing market insights with you. This housing market professional can help you promote your home to prospective buyers, review any offers to purchase your residence and much more. Perhaps best of all, a real estate agent will provide honest, unbiased home selling recommendations to ensure you can maximize your house sale earnings.

Prioritize your home listing – you'll be glad you did. If you devote the necessary time and resources to craft a listing that highlights your home's features, you may be better equipped than ever before to enjoy a successful property selling experience.

I'm a full time Realtor with over 30 years of experience yet young enough to embrace today's ever-changing scope of marketing and technology. Having grown up in Connecticut and moved many times (too many to count!) I can empathize with today's buyers and sellers. Strictly maintaining ethical standards and being a fierce advocate on behalf of my clients are things I take very seriously. As a buyer, you can expect me to listen to and evaluate your real estate wants and needs. I can assist in explaining relevant forms, agreements, and closing procedures. I will guide you through the process of finding the right home, negotiating your offer, adhering to all contract dates and terms as well as final walk through and closing procedures. As a seller, I will listen to and evaluate your goals, needs, and timing in order to properly price your home to get the maximum exposure needed to attract the right buyers. In addition to negotiating on your behalf, I will make sure we communicate throughout the entire process as we navigate the contract terms, finance and inspection contingencies, as well as all closing procedures. I was born in Japan, grew up in Hamden and lived in New York, Ohio and Southern California before settling down in New Haven county to raise two kids, two dogs and a cat. I'm passionate about good food and love to bake. Some of my free time has been spent volunteering at Temple Beth Sholom, a synagogue where my family has been members for over 40 years. I also spend time at Tower One/Tower East, an assisted living center in New Haven where my mother-in-law now resides. 30 years of helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals has given me the peace of mind to know that what I do everyday matters. If you are thinking of buying or selling please keep me in mind.
