When it comes to selling your home, marketing and the presentation of your home isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. A solid marketing strategy can help you sell faster, attract more buyers, and potentially boost your final sale price. Whether you’re in a red-hot market or things are a little slower, the right exposure can make all the difference. Here are three simple ways to make your home shine and get the attention it deserves.
1. Social Media is Your Best Friend
Want buyers to fall in love with your home before they even step inside? Then get it online—and not just on your local MLS. These days, 90% of buyers start their home search online, and platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and even Pinterest are where they’re scrolling for their next move.
It may not be that buyers are actively flipping through Marketplace for property listings, but real estate agents who properly leverage these platforms’ powerful targeted ad systems can put your listing in front of prospective buyers on social media, which is where their attention is. In fact, we’ve converted social media doomscrollers into real estate buyers when it wasn’t even a consideration.
Make sure your listing features high-quality photos, engaging video, virtual walkthroughs, and other marketing pieces to showcase your home’s best features.
More eyeballs = more interest = more offers. It’s simple math.
2. Open Houses Still Work—If Done Right
Some people think open houses are old-school, but the truth is, they still work—especially when paired with effective online marketing. They give buyers a chance to walk through your home in a low-pressure setting and see all the little details that can be hard to capture in photos.
That crown moulding? That oversized walk-in closet? That designer backsplash? These are the things that wow people in person.
Plus, open houses give your agent a chance to sell prospective buyers on your home and all of its fantastic features—and trust us, that matters.
3. In-Home Marketing = Big-Time Buyer Impressions
Once buyers are in the door, it’s time to seal the deal. Think professional brochures, strategically placed signage pointing out upgrades that may be easily missed, such as;
Undercabinet lighting
New HVAC or roof
Energy-efficient windows
Nearby parks, schools, or trails
- Smart-enabled devices
Make your home feel like a model home. Buyers might be touring multiple houses that day, but if they leave yours with a stunning brochure and a clear memory of those custom upgrades, they’re more likely to come back with an offer.
Bottom line: great marketing isn’t just about showing off your home. It’s about telling the story of why someone else will want to call it theirs.
