Halloween can be a very tricky time of the year for selling homes. However, there are many ways to keep up with the newest trends and ways to bring in more leads. Here is a list of 6 helpful real estate marketing ideas to sell your next listing:

Curb appeal is a big eye catcher to potential buyers. Future prospects are looking for:

• The lawn being mowed
• Trees, flowers shrubs all healthy looking
• Fresh Paint
• Windows cleaned and the frames in good condition
• Making sure sidewalks and driveways are in good shape

Hosting contests on your website and social media pages really gets potential buyers involved. Therefore, having a costume contest where you have your clients post a photo of their decorated homes and the best decoration is fun for everyone. Overall, this can also help drive more traffic to your website and social media pages.

Real estate agents love getting involved with past and future clients. By sending out postcards really shows how loved and building a relationship is important. That’s why clients appreciate a helpful postcard for Halloween. This is a great way of showing you care and also provides some tips on ways to keep your children safe for Halloween. As a parent or adult who will be handing out candy this Halloween, it’s always a good and thoughtful idea of getting a refresher on of safety tips around Halloween time. Most of the time, these postcards are kept on refrigerators or somewhere that they can be easily seen.

Keeping Trick Or Treaters Safe!

Parents love reading ideas on how to keep their children can be safe especially during the Halloween season. Here are some ideas that you can provide to your clients:

• Never trick-or-treat alone.
• Never enter a stranger’s house.
• Wear a light-colored costume or put reflective tape on a costume so the child is visible to cars.
• Never run across the middle of a street; stay on sidewalks.
• Don’t eat goodies or candies before inspecting their wrapper.

We understand that everyone is busy. By hand-delivering pumpkins to your past and current clients if they have children is a great idea. This will show that you really do care about your clients and future clients. Also, by handing out the pumpkins, ask for a photo to share or post on your website or social media pages.

Hosting a home buying seminar will give public ideas about financing, and what to look for in helping and listening sell fast. Posting this on social media and on your own site is a great idea for getting your name and website out there. Some other ideas to give out include:

• Halloween candles
• Halloween key chains
• Fall themed stationery items
• Pens and pencils that are fall themed with your business information on them.
