While every agent knows the basics of listing a home on the MLS, it takes a bit of know-how and strategy to make a listing stand out from the rest. ⁣
Want to know a few strategies from my MLS playbook?⁣
Tell a story with words instead of the usual room and property descriptors. Don’t forget to highlight neighborhood amenities and surrounding parks, schools, and shops.⁣ You’re selling the lifestyle.
The quality and sequence of photos matter. Professional photos are non-negotiable. Additionally, the first photo should almost always be of the exterior followed by photos that take a potential buyer through a home. 
More is more when it comes to details. Buyers are hungry for as much info as possible, so give it to them! Does a listing have a massive screened porch or family room? List the dimensions. Custom-built storage cabinets in the garage? Say so!⁣
Choosing a home is choosing a lifestyle. Sell with a realtor who knows this and knows how to fold it into every part of marketing your home—including on the MLS!⁣
