First, establish the features of the property:
- Floor area
- Number of rooms
- Layout of the rooms
- Location
- The surrounding area
- Draw up a floor plan of the property
Next, establish the target group, that is, who you are aiming the listing at. Will it be:
- A single person
- A large family
- A multi-generational family
- A young couple without children
- An older couple
Add visual materials:
- Make sure the photos are of excellent quality. If you cannot take them yourself, ask a specialist for help.
- Photograph entire rooms (after first making them perfectly tidy).
- Take a photo of the surroundings of the property and of the view from the window.
- You can shoot a short video presenting the advantages of the interior and surroundings of your property. Make it more attractive with on-screen captions or a voice-over, or take on the role of guide yourself.
Essential information:

- State the price.
- Add an appealing description (if you are taking into account that the client may be a foreigner, write the description in a foreign language too).
- Add contact details.
To sum up what we have said so far, your property sale listing must:
Have an attractive and clear message – it is best to include as many details as possible (floor area, aspect) and highlight the property's strengths (location, fittings, use of space).
Have beautiful photographs and a video presentation – remember that your property should look the same as it does in the photographs or video. During a viewing, a potential buyer must not be unpleasantly surprised.
Have catchy headlines – it is worth using words such as large, spacious, well-lit, bright; this will make a positive impression on a potential buyer. In addition, intersperse the descriptions with phrases such as: architectural design of the house or flat; special amenities and attractions; shops, restaurants, cinema, school and playground nearby. It is also worth adding a slogan along the lines of: Spacious family house; Your dream house, e.g. in Katowice Zarzecze; Exclusive city apartment; House with a large garage and workshop; A secret garden within sight, etc.
You will be surprised by the effectiveness of the methods above! Write with imagination and sell your property at a profit!
