US property owners advised to sell property online to attract overseas buyers

If you’re looking to market your
property to the widest possible audience, you may need to consider more than a
local agent. That’s the advice of a major US news provider who has recently
published its ‘Top Ten Tips for Buying and Selling Your Home in 2013’.

Fox Business has advised American
buyers to consider marketing their homes with an international property portal
who specialise in international real estate, as we see next.

‘Market your home to foreigners via overseas property sites’ – Fox
Business

Fox have recently published their
top ten tips for buying and selling property in 2013. These tips include
screening buyers, creating a good impression and renovating your home wisely.

One of their most important tips
when selling property was to consider all of the possible marketing options
available to you. As well as using social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter
and Pinterest, Fox also suggest that you ‘market your home to foreigners via
overseas property sites.’

Specialist ‘for sale by owner’
sites feature property from around the world and can be a great place for you
to advertise your home to millions of potential buyers.

“Lots of sellers of US homes
advertise their properties on our website,” says Nick Marr, director of
overseas property portal Homes Go Fast. “We have a vast database of buyers from
Britain and around the world, many of who are looking to buy property in the
US.

“It makes sense that you would
maximise your chances of a sale by marketing your property to the widest
possible audience. Using an international real estate website gives you a much
greater chance to sell property online.”

As Fox says, to sell your home
you must ‘Give your agent (or yourself) the green light to creatively market
your home in varied venues, be they virtual or terra firma.’ And, an overseas
property website is the perfect place to start.
