Where do most buyers begin their home search? Online.
According to the National Association of REALTORS®’ latest data, 97% of homebuyers use the Internet to find their next home. That means your home’s online presence is often the first—and sometimes only—opportunity to make a lasting impression. A listing that stands out and keeps buyers engaged can be the difference between a quick sale and months on the market.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when it comes to selling your home, a well-crafted online listing could be worth thousands of dollars. Professional photos are essential but success comes from the full package: a compelling description, the right price and strategic marketing.
How you showcase your home online doesn’t just attract buyers—it can increase its perceived value and help you sell for more.
The Key to an Engaging Online Listing
-
High-Quality Photography – Your Home’s First Impression
Buyers scroll through listings quickly, and professional photos determine whether they stop to learn more. High-resolution images with proper lighting and composition showcase your home’s best features, making it more appealing and memorable. Homes with professional photos sell faster and for more money than those without.
-
Virtual Tours – Bringing Buyers Inside
In today’s digital world, buyers expect more than just photos. Virtual tours allow them to explore your home from anywhere, creating a connection before they ever step inside. This added level of engagement can attract serious buyers and increase interest in your property.

Compelling Listing Copy – Words That Sell
A great listing isn’t just about visuals—the right words make an impact, too. Well-crafted descriptions highlight what makes your home unique and speak directly to your ideal buyer. Whether it’s a growing family looking for space, retirees seeking a low maintenance lifestyle or professionals wanting convenience, tailored copy creates an emotional connection and compels buyers to take the next step. (With a background in marketing, communications, and journalism—as well as experience as a former television news reporter—writing is my forte.)
