Selling words
Real estate portal Zillow set out to figure out which words move buyers by analyzing more than 60 search terms used in more than 2 million listings from January 2014 to March 2016. Terms such as “subway tile” and “Craftsman-style” were associated with higher prices and faster sales, and “quartz” beats “granite” in the ranked keyword list.
Put your best Facebook forward
Sheila Sundberg, founder of real-estate marketing service GrammarPros, offers guidance on avoiding the mistakes that will “kill your Facebook page.” First and foremost, don’t use your personal page for business — FB reserves the right to shut down your page in that circumstance. On the plus side, creating a business page is easy and comes with practical benefits.
“Homes & Land Magazine works! I just took out a full-page ad in Homes & Land Magazine, which hasn’t even gone to print yet. This morning before I headed out on a listing appointment, I e-mailed [the sales associate] to see if the proof was ready so I could take that along to show the sellers. Within a couple minutes she had the proof sent to me. I took that along with my other listing tools. This ad proof put the sellers over the top. They selected me over a handful of other agents. Thank you Homes & Land Magazine! You captured my brand, and my business!”
