Real Estate Flyers Done Right

By: Tori Junipelo

Even though there are a number of different ways to advertise homes, real estate flyers are still very effective. They have become a staple of home selling over the years. Given the fact that there are so many different homes and so many different Realtors, it makes sense that there are many different versions of this standard marketing piece. Finding a straightforward format is the key.





The Realtors who pay close attention to design and format are usually more successful. Many home selling professionals, however, see this task as something that has to be done. Usually, keeping the layout simple is the most effective way of putting them together.





The average person that is out shopping for a home is usually considering dozens and dozens of potential homes. Not many people have the time to read through several lines of text. As elegant as home seller prose might be, it is often lost on the buying public.





Limiting the information to short and simple descriptions is normally the recommended method. The basic facts are all that buyers are looking for at first glance. Any special features should be emphasized, but with as few words as possible.





Flyer making is also easier than ever. Almost every agent has access to color printers and design software. Manipulating images and text is a talent that even long time agents have. The problem often arises when one has to decide which photos to use. As a general rule, the photos that should be more prominently visible are those that highlight the key features of a home. The hope is that an underscored feature will separate the house from other nearby homes.





Generally it is far more effective when there are photos of features that set a particular home apart from the competition. When there are so many sellers that are trying to entice a limited amount of buyers, the selling opportunities are limited. If a home's backyard size is the one thing that sets it apart from the surrounding homes, that item needs to be prominently displayed.





It makes sense to take advantage of all the advertising space that one has at his or her disposal. Many agents neglect to use the reverse side of this marketing tool. Just by putting one's other listings on it, this will act as a second advertisement to attract buyers who are not interested in the featured home.





There are opportunities to do some cooperative advertisement as well. Though an agent may not have more than one home for sale, one could share the blank space with another agent. A colleague's home listing might make a great deal of sense. Using a little creativity could give the newcomer to the industry another opportunity to make a sale.





In this market, making use of this crucial marketing piece is more important than ever before. Utilizing every part of real estate flyers might be the difference between making money and having to look for another job. It is a part of the job that should not be taken lightly. Plus, buyers, sellers and the bank account will be grateful.
