Social Media to Sell Homes in a Global Market

Digital marketing has become an important component of advertising in many industries, but in real estate it is particularly essential because today’s market is more global than ever.

Digital marketing has become an important component of advertising in many industries, but in real estate it is particularly essential because today’s market is more global than ever. Danny Hertzberg & Hillary Hertzberg of Second Generation Selling–part of the top selling real estate team in the country, The Jills–recognize the power of digital and social media advertising to sell properties, like this beautiful Miami Beach waterfront property.

In the below video, which first appeared on LXTV Open House, the Second Generation Selling duo shares a few expert tips on using social media to sell real estate in a global market.

Miami, FL where Danny & Hillary are based, is a market where many buyers are coming from around the globe. And when international buyers begin their search, it starts online. Without being present to view the property in-person, photos and video are the next best thing, making visual content more important than ever before. This leading luxury real estate team has been employing the best in high-end photography for some time, but now they’re also using state-of-the art cinematic techniques like drones, and time lapse capabilities to make their videos really pop. Even more brilliantly, they edit these video clips down to fifteen second clips to post them on Instagram for increased exposure.

Social media is the perfect conduit to serving up these beautiful visuals to potential international buyers who might not be exposed to other more traditional marketing efforts. In addition to advertising methods like magazines and brochures, Danny & Hillary use social platforms like facebook, pinterest, and twitter to advertise properties, but they cite Instagram as the most fitting channel for it’s focus on beautiful imagery. Implementing a technique called a “Social Media Hot Spot,” they harness the power of “going viral” to reach thousands of people through linking their social networks and boosting posts with social actions.

To entice potential buyers to view a property, Danny & Hillary go beyond a single photo and instead create an Instagram collage of photos to give viewers a more complete picture of a property. They also show more than the features and amenities of a property and instead focus on showcasing the lifestyle a particular home might deliver. Blogging about their community and the plethora of activities available is just one more way that the Second Generation Selling team showcases the lifestyle of their maketplace, Miami Beach.

Kitchen Remodeling on Budget

Kitchen Upgrades For Any Budget

Ideas Between $1,000 and $10,000

Article by Lindsay Listanski

Guest Blog Post by HomeAdvisor

When you’re trying to budget for a kitchen remodel, you can spend different amounts of money with different results. A limited budget — one of $1,000 or so — will require a lot of work on your part; and you’ll want to focus on small improvements rather than major renovations. A bigger budget — up to $10,000 or so — will allow for some work to be left to the pros; but it’s still unlikely that everything in the kitchen can be renovated.

Did you know that most homeowners in the U.S. reportedly spent between $18,000 and $27,000 in total project costs to remodel their kitchen? If that sounds too steep, here is a comparison of a $1,000 kitchen remodel versus a $10,000 kitchen remodel:

 $1,000 Remodel

 One thousand dollars won’t go far in renovating your kitchen. That’s because professionals who work in cabinet refinishing, flooring replacement and painting–to name a few–will quote at least $400 to $700, which will eat up the majority of your budget. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Focus on the important areas: Keep elements that are in good condition — your cabinets, flooring, or countertops, for example — and focus on aspects that are in serious need of repair or updating. Maybe you need to update lime green cabinets reminiscent of the 50s; maybe you need to replace a few chipped tiles in your floor.  You can make small changes with a big impact without spending a fortune.
2. DIY, DIY, DIY! You’ll need to do as much of the remodel work around your kitchen as possible to stretch your budget. Watch home improvement shows and online tutorials, read books; do whatever it takes to get the know-how. But never approach doing electrical, plumbing or structural work in the kitchen yourself. These tasks are dangerous and should always be left to professionals. Try your hand at painting, laying tiles, sanding or putting in a backsplash — it’s a great way to learn; and it saves you money while revitalizing your kitchen.
3. Don’t do everything at the same time: Since you’re on a limited budget and doing a lot of the work yourself, you can break the project into phases over weeks or weekends. This gives you time to rest and see how things are progressing. If you do everything at the same time, you might spend more than you’d like or create a daunting mess in your kitchen. Phasing your project will make it more manageable.

Some common projects to tackle in a $1,000 kitchen remodel include:

• Painting the walls and ceilings
• Adding a decorative backsplash
• Refinishing or painting your kitchen cabinets
• Replacing your floor with ceramic tile
• Installing LED lighting

Remember: Practice safety when doing your kitchen remodel to avoid paying medical bills on top of any remodeling work.

With a bigger kitchen remodel budget, you have some room to hire professionals to help with the renovations. This doesn’t mean you can completely gut your kitchen and start from scratch — that’s more of a $45,000 project — but you can make a few major changes.

Here are some recommendations for a $10,000 kitchen remodel:

1. Do some DIY: Since labor will be a major factor in the cost of hiring a professional, try doing some of the work yourself. Maybe it’s tiling a backsplash or painting some of the cabinets or walls — the same things you’d do in a $1,000 kitchen remodel. Some of the money in your budget will go towards materials, but you’ll spend far less than you would to hire a professional.
2. Don’t move the major appliances: Keep your dishwasher, sink and oven/hood where they are — even if you’re doing major renovations. Moving them will involve not only labor, but also the cost of installing plumbing and electrical wires in the new locations. This time and money would be better spent on other projects around the kitchen.
3. Are your cabinets worth replacing? Unless your cabinets are moldy (if made from wood), so worn down they’re about to fall off the wall, or otherwise past the point of repair, consider updating instead of replacing them. You can stain, paint, refinish or reface them for a fraction of the replacement cost and they’ll look almost brand new.
4. Make smart appliance investments: If you decide to replace any of your appliances, first consider whether you really need stainless steel. It can be scratched, stained and easily marked by fingerprints. Also consider investing in energy-efficient appliances for what they’ll pay back on your utility bill over time.

Some projects homeowners can do for a $10,000 kitchen remodel include:

• Painting walls
• Painting, refinishing or refacing the cabinets
• Hiring flooring contractors to install new flooring
• Hiring a countertop professional to replace your counters
• Replacing one or more of your appliances
• Installing LED lighting

Whether you hire a professional for one or more of your projects, remember that you can help with part of the project to help cut down on costs. It’s educational and it helps to get the project done faster — so you can be back in your kitchen, cooking and enjoying time with your family.

Increase the Value of Your Home

5 Simple Home Improvements to Increase the Value of Your Home

November 17, 2014

 Home

No one wants to spend a fortune when it comes to selling a home, but you may want to spruce up a few areas to make your property more appealing to potential buyers. When it comes to upgrades, remember to focus on simple, clean home improvements that will make your home appear more modern and elegant.

1. Install New Countertops

   Buyers may examine a kitchen space more closely than bedrooms and bathrooms because this is usually the area where they will spend the majority of their time. Small changes, such as replacing the countertops with a nicer material may be enough to give the space a new and fresh look. Consider using materials that are common in neighboring homes. A buyer may be less likely to purchase a home with tile countertops when the surrounding homes on the market all have granite or marble.

2. Replace Hardware and Fixtures

   Old, ruddy cabinet handles, kitchen spouts and light fixtures can be a turn off to buyers and make the home seem outdated. Replacing these fixtures with modern hardware is a simple and affordable solution that can be done quickly. Most home improvement stores carry a variety of fixtures and hardware, and you can easily compare costs by doing some research online.

3. Refinishing Floors

   Updating the floors of your home is another important upgrade to consider as you prepare to sell. Hardwood floors can be refinished for a reasonable price, and you may want to consider shampooing any stained or worn carpets.

4. Update the Paint Color

   A simple coat of paint can go a long way in livening up a home or a particular room, and the right color can make certain smaller rooms appear more spacious and inviting. Most real estate agents agree that neutral and light or bright colors can make a room stand out, while still giving a clean appearance. 5) Install New Doors You may overlook the appeal of new front, back and side doors, but these features are some of the first things a buyer sees when they visit a home. You may consider painting your current doors to make them stand out or replacing any doors that are outdated or need repairs.

Staging a Home: Dos and Don’ts

Staging a Home: Dos and Don’ts for Your Open House

November 17, 2014

 Home

An open house is a chance to show off your home and increase the number of bids from potential buyers. Most real estate agents agree that first impressions can make or break a sale. Therefore, open house preparation is just as important as the event itself.

Make Sure the Home is Spotless

Cleanliness and space are the first two characteristics potential buyers notice, so it's crucial to make sure your home is clean from top to bottom. Floors, counters and walls should be scrubbed and cleaned, furniture should be orderly, beds should be made and no clutter, dirty laundry or paperwork should be left in the open. If home buyers see a dirty and cluttered house, this may be the only image they remember when they leave.

Store All Personal Items

The goal of an open house is to attract buyers, so be sure to keep home decor as neutral as possible. To depersonalize your home, put away any photos and sentimental objects.

Clear the Home of Pets

One factor you may forget about is your pets. While fish or other animals inside an enclosed container are unlikely to pose difficulties, prospective buyers may not appreciate being greeted or followed by a dog or cat. Some may even be allergic to or dislike pets. While this has nothing to do with your home directly, it can still impact their memories of the walkthrough experience.

If you have any pets, make sure no lingering smells permeate through your home. For example, cat litter boxes can add an unpleasant smell to a room and make it less appealing to buyers.

Leave the Home during the Open House

You may be tempted to stay for the open house to show buyers around and explain the characteristics of your house. However, according to a recent article in Parade Magazine, this puts unnecessary pressure on visitors. Real estate agents may be more experienced to answer questions and potential buyers are likely to be more open to providing feedback about the home if speaking with a professional, rather than a homeowner.

Home Sellers Be the One That Sells!

"How to stage your home for sale"

How Might It Help Sell My House?

In the last few years, home staging has become an increasingly popular method of preparing a home for sale. However, home staging involves far more than the cleaning and minor repairs required to put your home on the market. The process of staging a home is actually an in depth dressing of a home to make the property seem as appealing as possible to prospective buyers.

Home staging professionals use a variety of methods to help homeowners sell their properties, incorporating both amenities already inside the home and a number of special products. When preparing to sell your home, you may want to think about some of the home staging methods outlined here to help you find the right buyer.

At its most simple, home staging is about setting the right mood for prospective buyers. By decorating and arranging a home's interior to present an ideal way of life, buyers are assisted in visualizing themselves in your home. Whether you undertake the process of staging your own home or decide to consult a professional, there are a number of different "props" that may be used around the home.

For example, to add a vibrant sense of life to the home, many home staging professionals recommend using different types of potted plants and arrangements of flowers and fruit. Throughout the home, they tend to utilize soft, luxurious fabrics – such as satin, lamb's wool and silk – to create an atmosphere of comfort. This process can also extend to the exterior of the property, where patio furniture can be added in the backyard and colorful flowers or unique accessories outside the front door.

Many home staging professionals come from interior design or art-related backgrounds. Hence, when working on staging a home for sale, these professionals utilize a number of visual tricks to capture the attention of potential buyers. For instance, furniture is always arranged very carefully to simulate the ideal living space.

In living rooms, home staging professionals often use loveseats and ottomans in lieu of large couches to create the illusion of added space.

 Likewise, mirrors are often placed throughout a staged home to make the living area seem larger to potential buyers. In areas where you hope to focus a buyer's attention – like a hand built stone fireplace or a remodeled kitchen – staging professionals can place unique artwork or accessories to catch the eye.
