At Miles & Barr, we employ a range of proven marketing tools to ensure your house gets the attention it deserves. Keep reading to find out about the various marketing tools an estate agent will use to market your house to secure a buyer.

  • 1. Professional Photographs

    We kickstart the marketing process by capturing your property's best features through high-quality professional photographs. These images serve as the first impression for potential buyers and significantly impact their decision to explore further. We understand the importance of images and have an in-house team of skilled photographers. We also capture drone images and videos to give your property marketing an extra push.

     

  • 2. Brochures

    Property brochures remain a crucial part of our marketing strategy. Our professionally designed brochures feature photographs, detailed floor plans, and comprehensive descriptions of your property, giving buyers all the information they need to take the next step.

     

  • 3. Online Virtual Tours

    With our website's Matterport technology, potential buyers can take immersive 3D virtual tours of your property, exploring every corner from the comfort of their homes. This means that your property will benefit from additional viewings further to the traditional process of in-person tours.

     

  • 4. iPacks

    Our exclusive i-PACKS consolidate essential property details into a comprehensive document, from land registry titles and leasehold specifics to warranties, guarantees, and local area insights. This streamlines the conveyancing process as all necessary documents are gathered into one place prior to enquiries being raised.

     

  • 5. Property Matching Emails

    Once you’ve approved your photographs, property listing brochure, and virtual 3D tour, our next step involves targeted marketing through property matching. We send email alerts to buyers whose search criteria match the particulars of your property, ensuring that interested buyers receive personalised notifications. Further to this, our monthly email newsletters keep potential buyers informed about the latest properties on the market. You might spot your home on one of these emails. These newsletters help create interest and further awareness for your property among active buyers. With these tactics, you can be sure that your property reaches the right audience.
