TOP SELLING TIPS 15

All ‘active’ buyers will be regularly searching for a  property online so it’s very important that you have a significant online presence.

But what about  the ‘passive buyer’? 

You know the type, they are not necessarily looking, the one who saw the board on the school run, the ones who would ‘love to buy that house if it ever came on the market’ or perhaps who would ‘buy a property in that block if one ever came up for sale’.

Time is a precious Commodity in todays fast moving world, so many people may not be able to check out the latest portal to see whats available.

You also need to market to these buyers. 

A For Sale board is a great way to do this locally.
