AD – This is a pre-written post
Back in the day, real estate agents used traditional media such as print media as the primary mode of advertising the properties of their clients, for sale. This included newspaper classified ads and even simple flyers. Furthermore, they also conducted one-to-one meetings with prospective buyers along with holding seminars as well as flaunting their referrals from known associates in the business.

These days, real estate agents, along with using the aforementioned marketing strategies, also take help of the internet and use its tools such as:
- Paid online marketing campaigns
- Social media marketing campaigns
- Setting hashtag trends in twitter and the likes – in a bid to ensure that the property of their client sells fast and gets off the market as quickly as possible.
Why do you need to use the internet if you want to sell your home fast?
Well, you might think that your home is located in Wirral – one of the most desirable locations in England. Hence, you wouldn’t need the help from the internet in a bid to spread the word about your property to prospective buyers.
Well, this is not the case anymore as no thanks to the pandemic, people are holding on to their money and are pretty calculative when it comes to spending it.
Hence, only classified advertisements won’t be enough to convince even buyers with deep pockets that Wirral homes are worth investing in. You would need to ask your letting agent to take the help of online marketing tools such as:
- Detailed listings with HD videos and pictures
- Social media marketing campaigns
- Paid advertisement campaigns and the likes – in a bid to increase the chances of your property getting noticed by prospective buyers.
Furthermore, internet marketing will also increase the reach of the marketing message designed for your property.
For instance, if no one in England is interested in your property, you never know, a friend of your cousin who is residing in the US has deep pockets and is interested in your Wirral home as he always wanted to live there – get the point?
So what is the best approach then?
In the future, real estate marketing will be carried out using only the internet along with extensive usage of certain tools like virtual property visits.
For now, all known, veteran and new real estate agents still rely on both traditional marketing mediums as well as the power of the internet to market the properties of their clients.
Hence, it is best that you also ask your real estate agent to use both traditional marketing mediums as well as the power of the internet such as social media sites and online property listings, to market your property and increase its chances of getting noticed by prospective buyers.
In the end, whether you plan to use only the internet, the traditional marketing mediums or both to market your property, you would need to ensure that you have assistance from a reliable real estate agent otherwise; you won’t be able to get good deals, let alone sell your property fast. Get the point?
This is an interesting one post, So much in the world has changed, and the real estate market is no different. I never really thought about using an online platform.
Thanks a lot 🙂
This is certainly a sellers market and you can get top dollar for your home. With sites like Zillow and Trullia leading the way in values online
Another great, informative post! It makes sense that you could benefit from being online and marketing for house sales. I am very thankful that I am not in the process of buying and selling right now, it’s so uncertain in different area!

This is an interesting one. Makes total sense that also in real estate the marketing moves online. But at the same time I’ve seen incredibly fast sales recently in terms of apartments and houses! I don’t know what this pandemic has done but at least up North people seem to be buying properties like crazy. My best friend just bought 2 apartments to rent out, my mum sold her apartment in one week and my dad sold our childhood home, a 3-bedroom house within just TWO DAYS! That’s insane 😀 But I’m sure things will slow down again eventually, and social media will definitely have more significance in real estate as well. x
