Internet portals like Rightmove are massively important for generating interest and viewings in your property, and there are a few simple things you can do to maximise your potential.
Michael Nettleton, director here at Nock Deighton, has this advice...
The three most important parts of your Rightmove profile are:
(1) The main image
(2) Your pricing strategy
(3) The property headline
I’m going to take a look at each of these in turn, starting with the main image and looking at the other two in future blog posts.
So, your main image: Give yourself a minute and look at the main image of your property. Be critical - does it show your house in the best possible light?
Would it make you click on it for more details? If not, it could be time for a new picture.
I’ve tested various photographs to see how they affect click-through rates, and one that works well is an image of just your front door.
Of course, it helps if your door looks good - so make it look as nice as possible by giving it a fresh coat of paint or framing it with a hanging basket or flower pot.
It might sound strange, but it works! Be creative with your photographs and your click-through rates will improve.
Thanks for reading. More tips will be published on this blog soon!
