What Does It Take to List a House?

by Debbie Goldberg 06/09/2019

Listing a home may be simple. In fact, if you know what it takes to craft an engaging house listing, you could speed up the property selling journey.

Now, let's take a look at three tips to ensure you can create an effective home listing.

1. Evaluate Your Home's Strengths and Weaknesses

Your home likely has served you well, but it may be far from perfect. However, if you analyze your house from a buyer's perspective, you can understand your residence's strengths and weaknesses and craft your property listing accordingly.

Oftentimes, it helps to make a list of your home's strengths and weaknesses. You may want to allocate time and resources to correct any problems with your house, too. That way, you can transform a home weakness into a strength before you finalize your property listing.

Don't forget to accentuate the positive aspects of your home in your property listing as well. If your home boasts an amazing outdoor swimming pool, for instance, you may want to include details about your pool in your house listing. Or, if you recently improved your home's roof, you may want to highlight this upgrade in your property listing.

2. Be Honest

There is no need to stretch the truth in your home listing. And if you fail to provide buyers with accurate information about your house, you may struggle to enjoy a fast, profitable home selling experience.

Ultimately, it is important to provide buyers with the information they need to determine if your house matches their expectations. With an honest approach to a house listing, you can empower buyers with the insights they need to decide whether to pursue your residence.

3. Include High-Resolution Images

Your home listing should include relevant information about your residence, along with high-resolution images of different areas of your house. Because if you can show buyers the true beauty of your residence, they may fall in love with your house right away.

Before you take pictures of your home, you should clean your residence and remove clutter. You also may want to hire a real estate photographer who can capture amazing images that you can incorporate into your home listing.

Lastly, as you get set to list your house, you may want to hire a real estate agent. This housing market professional knows how to craft an effective home listing, and as such, can help you promote your residence to the right groups of buyers.

In addition, a real estate agent takes the guesswork out of selling a house. If you are unsure about how to proceed at any point during the home selling journey, a real estate agent is happy to assist you.

For a home seller who want to accelerate the property selling journey, creating an effective house listing is ideal. Thanks to the aforementioned tips, you should have no trouble crafting a home listing that hits the mark with buyers. As a result, you could use your listing to stir up significant interest in your house and enjoy a successful home selling experience.

I'm a full time Realtor with over 30 years of experience yet young enough to embrace today's ever-changing scope of marketing and technology. Having grown up in Connecticut and moved many times (too many to count!) I can empathize with today's buyers and sellers. Strictly maintaining ethical standards and being a fierce advocate on behalf of my clients are things I take very seriously. As a buyer, you can expect me to listen to and evaluate your real estate wants and needs. I can assist in explaining relevant forms, agreements, and closing procedures. I will guide you through the process of finding the right home, negotiating your offer, adhering to all contract dates and terms as well as final walk through and closing procedures. As a seller, I will listen to and evaluate your goals, needs, and timing in order to properly price your home to get the maximum exposure needed to attract the right buyers. In addition to negotiating on your behalf, I will make sure we communicate throughout the entire process as we navigate the contract terms, finance and inspection contingencies, as well as all closing procedures. I was born in Japan, grew up in Hamden and lived in New York, Ohio and Southern California before settling down in New Haven county to raise two kids, two dogs and a cat. I'm passionate about good food and love to bake. Some of my free time has been spent volunteering at Temple Beth Sholom, a synagogue where my family has been members for over 40 years. I also spend time at Tower One/Tower East, an assisted living center in New Haven where my mother-in-law now resides. 30 years of helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals has given me the peace of mind to know that what I do everyday matters. If you are thinking of buying or selling please keep me in mind.
