1. Use Social Media

Never underestimate the power of social media. You can share your home listing on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and even LinkedIn. Get creative in how you share the listing too. For instance, upload photos on Instagram and link it to Facebook with a fun and direct tagline and include the link so buyers can read the full detailed listing. Keep the status updates, tweets, and tagged photos simple because no one wants to get flooded with multiple ads on their social media feeds. You can also make a video of the home with shots of the interior and exterior and upload it on YouTube. A virtual home tour could also attract a bigger audience and generate more interest. Make sure you engage with comments and messages you receive on any social media site as well so you can provide additional information and answer any questions. For some great examples, check out our Facebook page.

Host an Open House Party

Open houses are a great and fun way to get more people to come see the house you're trying to sell. You can turn a traditional and boring open house into an entertaining event. Get creative by hiring a small band, violinist, or a musician to play some music in certain areas of the home. And if you can't afford to pay a professional musician, don't be afraid to play some music from your iPod and shuffle some classic sounds.

No one likes shopping on an empty stomach. A good open house should provide some food for their prospective clients. Hire a catering company to provide a tasty spread of finger foods, snacks, and refreshments so buyers can sample as they browse different rooms in the home.

With the hired help of professional writers and photographers, they can make the home come alive with words and pictures. Your listing will definitely stand out from the other homes on the market.
