When it comes to selling a home, visibility is everything. The more eyes on your property, the higher the likelihood of selling quickly and at the best possible price. But how do we achieve this level of exposure in a competitive market like Seattle? Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the proven strategy we use to get over 16,000 views on a home listing and drive results for our sellers.

The Power of Multi-Channel Marketing

By leveraging a combination of social media, video marketing, email campaigns, and direct mail, we ensure that your home gets the attention it deserves. Here’s how we do it:

1. Instagram Reels: 10,199 Views

Social media is one of the most powerful tools for marketing a home. For every property we list, we create multiple Instagram reels that showcase the home’s best features. These short, engaging videos are designed to:

• Capture attention quickly with high-quality visuals.

• Reach a broad audience, including local buyers and those relocating to Seattle.

Why It Works:
Instagram’s algorithm prioritizes video content, meaning reels are more likely to appear on users’ feeds and the Explore page. With strategic hashtags, captions, and geo-targeting, our reels consistently attract thousands of views.

2. Professional YouTube Video: 4,069 Views

While Instagram reels are great for grabbing attention, YouTube allows us to dive deeper. For each listing, we create a professionally produced video tour of the home. These videos highlight:

• The layout and flow of the home.

• Key features like updated kitchens, outdoor spaces, or unique design elements.

We don’t just post the video—we also invest in paid advertising to ensure it reaches a larger audience, including targeted buyers searching for homes in Seattle.

Why It Works:
YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, and real estate video content performs exceptionally well. By boosting the video with ads, we extend its reach beyond our immediate network.

3. Email Newsletter: 1,541 Opens

Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to reach potential buyers. We feature your home in our weekly email newsletter, which is sent to a curated list of active buyers, investors, and local agents.

What We Include:

• A stunning image or video of the property.

• Key details like location, price, and standout features.

• A direct link to the full listing or video tour.

Why It Works:
With a high open rate and engaged audience, our email campaigns ensure your property stays top-of-mind for buyers. Plus, we keep your home in the newsletter every week until it sells, maximizing exposure over time.

4. Direct Mail to Neighbors

We don’t just rely on digital marketing—we also go old-school with a direct mail campaign. We send postcards to all the neighbors around your home, announcing the listing and inviting them to the open house.

Why Neighbors Matter:

• Many buyers are referred by friends or family members who already live in the neighborhood.

• Neighbors themselves may be interested in upgrading or downsizing locally.

This targeted approach ensures that your home is visible to the people who are most likely to help spread the word.

The Results: 16,243 Views, 13 Showings, and One Offer

Here’s how it all adds up:

• Instagram Reels: 10,199 views

• YouTube Video: 4,069 views

• Email Newsletter: 1,541 opens

• Direct Mail Campaign: A direct touchpoint with neighbors

These efforts generated 13 showings, one of which led to a buyer making an offer and successfully closing the sale.
