The owners of this ’renovator’s delight’ residential property were moving interstate and needed a quick sale to ensure they didn’t have to hire someone to maintain the property in between them moving out and a new owner moving in. Demand for properties in the area was low, so the property listing needed to really stand out and make a strong emotional connection with potential buyers in order to quickly attract and convert a property shopper. So, K. M. Wade crafted bespoke listing copy that was ultimately pivotal in achieving the vendor’s goals.
Why it’s special
- Engaging, emotive copy — The copy written by K. M. Wade included everything the target audience needed to know about the property and did so in a way that encouraged the reader to imagine living their dream life in the home and gardens
- Benefits and value focussed — Most real estate listings in the area were short, bland pieces of copy that listed the key features of the property and little else. The copy written by K. M. Wade was longer than usual and emphasised the value the audience could experience if they purchased the property. The opening paragraph set the scene by conveying the overall benefits and value of the property, so readers were compelled to read more of the listing, even if they would normally only read the above-the-fold copy. And the remainder of the copy fleshed out the details in a way that had shoppers wanting to read more.
- Exceptional results — At the time of listing, the average time on the market for the other properties in the area was 65.5 days. The property listing for 1 Braidwood Rd went live on local real estate websites just after 1 pm. The buyers placed an offer on the property just after 6 pm that evening. By 8 pm that evening, the vendors had accepted an offer on the property that was just $10k short of their list price and well above what they’d hoped to achieve.
