Property Marketing Mistakes To Avoid

A round-up of the most common, easy-to-fix marketing mistakes we see on new listings.

Property Marketing Mistakes To Avoid

1. Phone photos as the lead image

First impressions are made in the MLS thumbnail. Always lead with a professional hero shot.

2. Wrong aspect ratio on social

Vertical for Reels / TikTok, square for feed, horizontal for YouTube.

3. No video

Listings with video get more engagement on every major portal.

4. Missing floor plan on larger homes

Buyers want to understand layout before booking a showing.
