Step 2. Write Your Ad
Writing your ad is easy. Simply start by making a list of all of the positive features of your home. Think of the things that initally attracted you to the home when you purchased it. Once you have your list together combine it into easy to read sentences without abbreviating too much. Remember to limit your ad to the number of words allowed in the package you selected in step 1. If you need assistance in writing your ad, we would be more than happy to sit down with you and put together a winning campaign. For more tips on writing your ad see Writing an Effective Ad.
Step 3. Take Photos
Take photos of the property - both interior and exterior. Photos should be taken horizotally NOT vertically. When taking exterior photos, try to avoid sunny days. The sun can cause glare and shadows which can negatively affect the appearance of your home. Some of the best photos we recieve are taken on overcast or cloudy days. All photos should be in .jpg format with a minimum resolution of 640x480. You can upload the photos, email them, or bring them into our office. If you are using a digital camera, you can bring it in and we can take them off the camera for you (call in advance for appointment). If you are using a film camera, your film developer should be able to put the photos on a CD for you. For an additional fee, we can send a photographer to take photos for you. See Photo Tips for more information on tips and techniques for taking great photos.
