Your website is one of the best tools that you have to attract potential buyers. If your website isn’t bringing buyers to you then it might be time to take a good look at the design of your website and see if you can make it friendly and inviting to buyers that are looking for homes in your area. Here are a few expert Web design tips that you can use to upgrade your website and make sure that it can attract potential home buyers:

Use Multimedia

These days videos and photos are an absolute must for real estate agents to use. Some agents balk at using video walkthroughs because they don’t want to invest the time in creating them or don’t know how to post them easily online. But a video walkthrough and great photos are the best features that you can add to your website to attract potential buyers. If you have been avoiding creating video walkthroughs you need to reconsider your reluctance and learn how to do them. Video walkthroughs and fantastic photos are really what attract buyers.

Neighbourhood Information

When potential buyers are browsing through your website to find new homes they are also looking for information about where the home is located and what type of neighborhood the home is in. In order to give potential buyers a complete picture of the area where the home is you should be posting links to crime reports in the areas, public transit available nearby, and photos and videos of the neighbourhood as well as the home that is for sale. Local school information is also something that you should post for prospective buyers with children.

Amenities

If a home that is for sale is in an HOA community with great amenities you need to make sure that potential buyers know about the amenities available in that community. If the community has a grocery store, business centre, pool, walking trails or other features include information, photos and videos of the area with the information about the home.

Contact Information

You’d be amazed at how many people don’t have their contact information highlighted on their website. And that’s a killer mistake. Your information should be easy to find so that potential buyers can see a home on your website and immediately text you or call you to find out more about that home. If you don’t want to have all of your contact information listed publicly then make sure that there is a contact button or form on every page of your website so that at any time people can contact you quickly. The more accessible your information is the more potential buyers will reach out to you.

Check out these five creative ways to get more leads using channels that you already have:

Social Media

The worst thing that you can do as an agent has neglected your social media accounts. While it might seem like spending time on social time isn’t a productive use of your time social media is a great way to find leads and it’s totally free. Having active social media accounts on popular platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are essential if you have wanted to continually find new quality leads. If you have a little money to spend Facebook ads are a low cost and direct way to get great leads.

Your Own Website

You know that you need to have a website. But are you using your website to get new leads? If not, you should be. Make sure that your contact information is updated on your website and add a section just for leads. Post some high-quality information for both sellers and buyers and a contact form so that people who are interested in more information can easily get ahold of you. You can even run referral contests and other promotions to bring in new leads.

Guest Blogging

Networking with other agents and home professionals like home designers is a great way to get new leads. Contributing some guest blog posts to popular blogs in your area like travel blogs and dining blogs is an easy and free way to reach new potential buyers that could be looking to move to the area.

Host Seminars

Hosting seminars is a fantastic way to find people that are interested in buying and selling homes in your area. Hold a seminar for first-time buyers to give them the information that they need to buy a home. Or hold a seminar for people that are thinking about selling their home. Offer refreshments and some great information and you’ll be amazed at how many potential new leads you’ll get. You can even hold online seminars by using live streaming on Facebook or Instagram.

Community Events

Make sure that you attend neighborhood festivals and community events. Set up a booth offering information for new buyers and sellers and you can establish yourself as an expert in that particular neighborhood at the same time.
