Find A Good Estate Agency
This is easier said than done because there are just so many of them. You need to find someone you can get on with. You may already know one if you are a property developer because you would have worked with them before. Check for specialties, if you are renting a few flats then find someone who represents flats.

Make sure the photos you take are bespoke and show the best. Nowadays, you can even use virtual tours to make the best of what you have, Excelsior Imaging have the details. Try everything you can and browse estate agency websites to see what kinds of things sell and then copy it. The better the representation of your properties the more likely you are to sell it. This means the people who do the tours too. You may want to even do it yourself.

Target Your Audience
If you are going for a student rental, you’re going to want to highlight how it comes already furnished with so many bedrooms etc. Target the descriptions to the people you want to buy the property. If you have a house and are looking for a family then you want to put more focus on the garden and on storage etc. These are things you need to bear in mind to ensure you get what you need. If you have a nice flat then you may be looking for the single professional, so you don’t just want to advertise the flat but also what is in the surrounding area. Is it close to transport links for example. Really think outside the box and put yourself in their shoes. Think what would make the difference to you if you did what they did.
