Improve your listing quality and sell faster!
Traditionally, to sell or rent a house all you had to do was make an appointment with the buyer, use a bit of the “real estate agent charm” and show them some properties that best suit their needs. But those days are over…
Currently, over 90% of buyers are using the internet to research the market before contacting a real estate agent, and it has never been more important to make a good first impression online.
In real estate terms this is known as a ‘quality listing.’
A joint study conducted by The National Association of Realtors (USA) and Google in 2013, stated that ‘Real estate related searches on Google.com have grown 253% over the past 4 years’ and now ‘90% of home owners used the internet during their property search.’
A more recent study by We Are Social (Singapore) found that internet usage in Cambodia had grown by over 400% between 2015 and 2016. In line with the We Are Social research, Realestate.com.kh has increased traffic and sales and rent inquiries by 416% since the same time last year.
With internet users in Cambodia skyrocketing to over 6.7 million people this year, high quality real estate listings have never been so important.
And to ensure property seekers on Realestate.com.kh are presented with the highest listing quality possible, we automatically display listings with 0-1 images at the bottom of the list. Quality listings will always be preferred by our website, and sit higher in the list of search results.
Top Listing Quality Tips:
1) Upload More Than 3 Photos:
After all, a picture speaks 1000 words. Realestate.com.kh’s internal data shows that your chances of selling a property can increase by 85% if you upload more than three images to your property listing. It is very important that the photos you upload are of the actual property you are selling, as this will show potential buyers exactly how the property looks – and prove it is a genuine property for sale. You need to take quality photos! Show the key selling features and show people all the benefits.
2) Take Time Writing a Quality Listing Description:
Offer as much detail as possible when you are writing your listing description and improve your listing quality. Put yourself in the property buyer’s shoes! What features will they find most attractive in your property?
3) Get Your Contact Details Perfect:
Your listing is a waste of time if people can’t get hold of you! So make sure your contact details are perfect. Add two phone numbers and an email address if you know that sometimes you will be too busy to take the calls. Also, take time to improve your “Personal Profile” or “Agent Profile” online; as this profile allows you to give some extra information about yourself and/or your real estate agency – and to create a much-needed sense of trust and familiarity between yourself and potential buyers and renters.
4) Make Your Property Listing Headline Count!
Add a “Property Headline” in both English and Khmer – and make it count. If it is simple and clear, people will find your items before they find another. The internet has thousands of property listings for Cambodia these days, so you need to make sure your title quickly summarizes what you have to offer!
5) List A Price:
Don’t list “Price On Application” (POA)… At Realestate.com.kh, we have found that potential buyers generally read the home’s description and expect to see an exact listed price. On Realestate.com.kh, listings that display a reasonable price receive 150% more inquiries. If the price is negotiable: also let the user know in the listing description. If the terms of sale/rent are negotiable: let the buyer know in the listing description.
6) Follow Up Your Sales Inquires QUICKLY and PROFESSIONALLY:
When you receive phone and email inquiries from your online property listing, it is extremely important that you follow up with the potential buyer and renter as fast as possible. If you don’t get in touch quickly, your potential buyer or renter will soon find another offer, and another seller who is more interested in them. If they are an International buyer, communicate over the phone is the correct language – and follow up with a detailed email.
It is extremely easy to create a new listing on Realestate.com.kh, whether you are a private seller, landlord of real estate agent. You can sell yourself and we don’t take commission!
