The art of presenting a property
Text from 2023. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
When we decide to sell a property, one of the key steps is preparing an attractive advert. It is the first thing potential buyers will see, so it is worth devoting time and effort to creating a professional presentation. A good advert can significantly speed up the sales process. In this article we discuss the key elements a property presentation should include.
Photographs as the key to success
Photographs are one of the most important elements of a property sale advert. Photos should be sharp, well lit and show the property from various perspectives, covering both the interiors and the surroundings.
Present the property online
Virtual walkthroughs or video presentations are tools that allow clients to "walk around" the property online. These tools help them better imagine what the property looks like in reality. What is more, such elements make the advert stand out from the competition.
Showing the potential of the property
Before taking the photos, it is worth making sure the property is clean and well organised. Each room should be carefully prepared and unnecessary items removed. This will allow buyers to see the full potential of the flat or house.
Practical information
You cannot leave out details in the property description. The presentation should be clear, precise and attractive, encouraging people to view the flat or house. A good advert must therefore include:
- the exact location and the price;
- the floor area, and the number and type of rooms;
- the form of ownership of the property and of the land;
- the furnishings and the standard of finish;
- the type of building, the floor and the year of construction;
- the type of development and the construction technology;
- the property's advantages, such as a garden, balcony or terrace, parking space, storage room, lift, building security, garage, burglar-proof doors and facilities for people with disabilities;
- a description of the area and infrastructure - proximity to a school, shops, parks or public transport.
Thanks to the information above, potential buyers can quickly assess whether the property meets their criteria.
Contact and cooperation with an estate agent
If an estate agent is handling the sale of the flat or house, it is worth giving their phone number at the end of the advert. This way potential buyers can easily get in touch with questions or to arrange a viewing of the property.
Summary:
The art of presenting a property lies in carefully preparing an advert that will attract the attention of potential buyers and make the flat or house stand out on the market. Good-quality photos, an accurate description, video presentations and highlighting the property's advantages are the key elements of a good advert. Taking care of these details can significantly speed up the sales process and bring better results.
