As an Agate Bay Seller did you know that more than 92%+ of home buyers will begin their property search on the internet? Now, more than ever your mountain house needs to have the best on-line exposure, presentation, and coverage possible.

On-line marketing is so much more than just entering your property data and a few photos in the Tahoe Sierra Multiple Listing Service (TSMLS).

Internet marketing is far more advanced today. As a Seller if your agent is still hoping to get potential buyers to call about your home, with a limited internet profile, and poor photographs, you may be very disappointed with the results.

Serious second home buyers view an on-line listing with limited and/or incomplete information with poor, or no photos, as a being a big negative.

Second home owners don’t have the luxury of being able to drive by your property and say “wow, this home looks so much better in person”. A poor on-line presentation puts your property at a marketing disadvantage.

A poor first impression will hurt your efforts to get top dollar for your Tahoe home.

Tahoe Seller Tip – Provide as much information and property details as you can on your property. The more information, the better!

Tahoe Seller Tip – On-line Curb Appeal! Pick the best photo as your first photo that will get buyers to click on your home listing to get more information.

You may not have thought about how important your first position photo is to a potential buyer, but the Internet has become your very first showing to home buyers.

It is critical that your first photo have that “eye candy” on-line curb appeal and that it sends the right message about your property!

Each on-line viewing is your first showing! Every time your home is viewed on-line that Tahoe buyer is making that critical first impression decision on whether or not to have your Tahoe home on their short list of properties to see when they come to Lake Tahoe.

Unlike other markets, this second home market often has buyers here for only a few hours to see properties and most of already decided what home to see before they ever get here. Your on-line presence will impact a buyers “must-see” showing list, which means you need a great internet profile and presentation of your property.

Tahoe Seller Tip – Only use the best photographs to market your Tahoe Property!

To achieve the broadest world-wide Internet marketing exposure and presence, your Agate Bay property needs a combination of a fully completed TSMLS property profile, social media campaign, blogging, and video exposure.
