Anyone interested in buying or selling real estate goes online to get the answers they are looking for when they want to learn about the market, available properties or any other kind of research. What does this mean for realtors? Online marketing is a necessity for any agent who wants to be successful in today’s real estate environment. If you’re just getting started with your professional online presence, or if you need to reboot your already existing one, we will share today four great tips for great online marketing.

WEBSITE

If you are wondering if you should have your own website when you are not your own broker, the answer is yes! Why? Because you are a brand on your own, and having a place where people can get to know you and your properties even when you are asleep, is a great thing. You can link your website to any real estate database there is in the market so you can showcase your listings and any other property that hits the market and that elevates the opportunities to close a deal. It can be your dynamic, electronic brochure and host your blog and social media profiles so you can promote your own brand better and look more professional, successful and reliable.

BLOG

Having a blog is one of the easiest ways to connect with an online audience. You can blog about many different topics around real estate; literally you can blog about anything you want. Make sure to give your readers useful information so you can become a go-to resource for your audience. When the time comes for any of them to buy, sell, or rent, your name will be the first one they’ll think of.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media will help improve the visibility of your website and blog. If you don’t have a website or a blog, then the more reason to at least have active social media profiles. The most popular channels used by agents and brokers are Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and LinkedIn. But having them open is not enough; you need to create meaningful and useful content on these sites to create a community of followers and potential clients.

HAVE A CONTENT MARKETING STRATEGY

It’s not just about opening the channels, having the website, and setting up the blog. That is only half the battle. You need a steady and constant flow of quality content to keep the audiences interested and growing. Your plan for marketing your content may need to adapt more than once over time because of market trends, consumer behavior or just because you want to change your strategy; the important thing is to have always a plan in place.

You could do this by yourself, hire someone to guide you during your first steps or even have someone helping you full time. What matters is that you get your brand and yourself out there for the clients of the world to find. If you need some help starting, give us a call; we can point you in the right direction anytime.

Whenever you are thinking or looking at a property to rent, it is always advised to be prepared, organized and ready. Our team came up with a list of questions or things every prospective renter should take into account before choosing the perfect place to rent.

It doesn’t matter if you’re considering a house, a condo, a townhouse or an apartment; this will be your home in the near and foreseeable future, which is why although you will have an instant emotional reaction to the property, we recommend to always take into consideration a rational assessment of this potential future home. Take into consideration the inside and the outside, the local areas, the amenities, parking and general conditions along with the complete cost that will come with living in it.

Let’s talk about the inside:

Do the downstairs windows (if any) have locks?

Is there an alarm in place?

Are there fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in the property?

Is there a landlord’s gas safety record available to view?

Let’s talk money:

How much is the rent?

What other bills are you liable to pay for?

How much is the deposit?

What are the conditions for the landlord to deduct money from the deposit?

Estimated costs of running the property

Can you afford the rent, deposit and running costs?

Other general considerations:

If anything needs to be repaired, ask the landlord in writing

If the landlord agrees to make repairs on the property, get it in writing

Double-check the property’s inventory before you move in if it applies

Get a copy of the tenancy agreement and make sure you fully understand it

Get and keep your own signed copy of the tenancy agreement

Is it possible to ask previous tenants about their experience with the landlord and the property?

Check and take note of all the meter readings the day you move in

Of course, we will always advice to not do any of these transactions on your own. We are here to help. Give us a call and we will gladly assist you and answer your questions.
