What Type of Pictures Should You Use Within Your Estate Agency Blog Posts?

Have you deliberated over which pictures to use in a Facebook post or Blog post?

Many letting/estate agents find it difficult to choose a graphic for their content. Nevertheless, it’s vital, as frequently quoted research shows that pictures attract more individuals to the content and help people recall the content they read longer.

If you want to be seen as a leading authority in your local property market, as many of you know, I advocate you write (or get someone to ghostwrite for you) data driven content on your town's property market - like these 25 agents around the UK . With the articles I ghostwrite, I always endeavour to add a graph with the article, as it makes it simpler for your landlord/vendor readers to understand your article than with text alone.

That can clearly be seen in the epidemic spread of such internet tools as ValPal and RoboVal.If I see another ‘Click here for an instant free valuation of your home’ .. I will scream
Agents spend hours contemplating the right pantone colour applied to a ‘click here for your instant free val’ button, or the best time to post their ‘instant fv’ or ‘properties wanted’ posts on Facebook
These are strategies to get the half-hearted house seller over the line.
