🏡 The Dos and Don’ts of Selling Your Home Online (Don’t Make These Mistakes!)

Quick Tip: 90% of home buyers start their search online – your listing needs to wow them in 7 seconds or less! ⏰

The DOs of Selling Your Home Online ✅

1. DO Stage Your Home Like a Pro

Clear the clutter, add fresh flowers, and let that natural light shine! 🌸 Think "model home" meets "cozy AirBnB."

2. DO Invest in Professional Photos

Dark, blurry bathroom pics? 😱 Hire a pro photographer – good visuals can boost offers by 10-15%!

3. DO Write a Killer Description

"3-bed semi with garden" → Boring! Try: "Sun-filled family oasis with award-winning schools and secret pizza oven!" 🍕

4. DO Price It Right (From Day One)

Overprice = ghosted listings. Underprice = money left on table. Get 3 agent valuations minimum!

5. DO Go Full Sherlock on Social Media

Facebook groups, Instagram Reels walking through rooms, TikTok "day in the life" tours – go viral! 📱

The DON’Ts of Selling Your Home Online ❌

1. DON’T Use Potato-Quality Photos

That shadowy bedroom shot with laundry piles? You’re not selling a horror movie set! 👻

2. DON’T Hide the Flaws

Leaky roof? Say so upfront! Buyers will discover issues anyway – transparency builds trust.

3. DON’T Be a Keyboard Hermit

Answer inquiries FAST – 78% of buyers move on if you don’t reply within 12 hours! ⏳

4. DON’T Forget the “Why”

Tell the story: "Perfect for pancake Sundays in the kitchen" beats "12x14 ft kitchen." 🥞

5. DON’T Wing the Viewings

Prep a FAQ cheat sheet about boiler service dates/bus routes. Confidence = higher offers!

Final Thought 💡

Selling online is like digital dating – your listing needs to look hot, show personality, and leave them wanting more! Need help? We’ve got your back (and your front garden). 😉
