A Thesaurus is your friend.
Sure, that piece of property is stunning. But, when selling homes (for the most part) what piece of property, isn’t? Grab a Thesaurus and find another adjective to describe your property. Perhaps remarkable, vibrant or notable might suit the message instead?
Be Specific.
Nowadays, the word “designer” is so often used, it’s almost like it’s going (pun intended) out of style. Be more specific when using this term. Tell your target which designers are being used. The more details you can offer, the better.
Transparency goes a long way.
Some properties need work. Instead of saying a place has potential, list its attributes and offer some specifics of the work that needs to be done. Honesty and an up front approach will go a long way with potential buyers.
