Headlines are attractive at first sight. This is what clients see first before proceeding to the rest of your description. It is usually an introductory part to your property and first impression to clients’ matters. It needs to be specific as well as standing out. For example, having a headline like “houses for sale in Kitengela” would not be as catchy as “Move to what moves you-3 bedroom houses on sale in Kitengela.” The latter is longer yet so specific and can give a client almost all the information they may need at first sight.

Part of your property description is the pictures of your property. You may want to ask how this is related to your property description in real estate investments. Let me tell you how. Property that is clearly pictured and has details in it is more likely to attract clients than one without such details. Someone may want to see, the type of roofing in the house or probably the side of the balcony in the property. assuming the balcony was on the right side of the house and you only pictured the left side because that is what was appealing to you, you may lose a potential client because of that slight mistake. Therefore, make sure everything is well captured and detailed while uploading your property. Videos are excellent for this.

Potential clients will have to look at this section maybe not once neither twice. What I mean is that, their attention is mostly on this part. Your property story should involve the features of the property in a short yet well described manner. For example, you could indicate;

Move to what moves you-3 bedroom houses on sale in Kitengela.

***upload your property pictures/videos***

Features

-3 bedrooms all master en suite

-flexible spaces

-open door kitchen

-snack bars and porches and so on.

Location is like the backbone of the real estate investment in Kenya. Do not forget to indicate the location of the property you are selling. In fact, it should be inclusive in the headline. People would be interested to buy property in specific areas especially depending on their need. They want to straight away search for specific areas. Do not leave location out of the descriptions you make.

Finally, work towards actions. By this I mean, make sure you let people know where to find you, if the property is ready for viewing/inspecting and such specific details. Do not forget to let your clients be accessible to you. Create that connection in between you and your client.
