What size photos can I upload to Vode Property?

We recommend that your photos be a minimum of 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high.  If they are any larger then the system will crunch them down and distort them.  Try and use high resolution shots, as this is the window to your property, and good photos sell Real Estate.

Do you recommend professional photography?

Yes we recommend professional photography because first impressions count, with so many people viewing property on the web, photos become the difference between and enquiry and no enquiry.

We recommend if possible that you get professional photos of your property, the photographer will supply you with a web size photos as well as print size photos.  You then simply add the web size photos.  We have photographers in most areas that we can recommend.  They usually charge $200 for 10 photos which is sufficient for most properties.

I have had over 200 views of my property and I have only had 1 enquiry, Why is this so?

Buyers use the internet now as an annomous shopping mall, many people who view your property are doing it for a lot of reasons the most common ones are for:

Research – they are looking to sell their house in the future and are getting an idea on price and also presentation of your property online.

Buyers – Of Course buyers who are ready to buy and ones who are starting to research the market and make comparisons of listings around the area they wish to purchase.  Some buyers can research for up to 12 months before they actually buy, they become absolute experts in an area and most of the time know more about prices in an area than some agents.

Real Estate Agents – Real Estate agents are always scanning the internet in fact nearly all of them have subscriptions to the main web portals so as soon as a property gets listed they know about it.  Remember this is their profession and the good agents are all over it.  They will endeavor to win your business and gain your listing because that is their income.

Valuers – Valuers also spend a lot of time on real estate web portals researching property recently listed for sale and sold.

So out of all of the above group you could make an assumption that 25% of those people viewing are actually buyers.

To improve the chance of a sale and also a buyer actually emailing you for an inspection you have to make your listing very attractive to them.  This is done by online presence of course, information, photos and floor plans.  So ensuring they are top quality and always refreshed is paramount.

The other piece of advice I can give you is…..if a property hasn’t sold, then it is about price and promotion always, you need to bring your price in alignment with the current market conditions.  A slight price adjustment can sometimes bring you the enquiry you are after.

I am thinking of having some Open For Inspections, How do I advertise them?

Thats Easy!  If you simply login to your account here, type in your username and password.  Your listing will then display, if you click on open, you can register your day, date and times in their.  This will then feed to all your subscribed web portals.

I suggest you make your opens for no longer than one hour, 1/2 hour is best.  This means all buyers come around the same time and it causes a natural excitement in the home and if a few are interested it increases your chance of a quicker sale.  It also means you can do other things on the day and you are not waiting around all day for people to arrive unannounced.
