## Introduction
The listing description is one of the most important parts of a real estate listing. It’s the first thing a prospective buyer sees when they search for a home on Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com or any other real estate website. If the listing description isn’t compelling enough, it can negatively impact the number of people who view the listing.
This guide will teach you how to write a compelling listing description that will help you sell more homes. You’ll learn:
– How to make your listing description stand out from the rest
– What to include and what to leave out
– When to use bullet points and when to use paragraphs
– The best way to structure your listing
– And much more!
If you’re a new real estate agent, this guide will also teach you the basics of listing descriptions, so that you can write a great listing description for your first listing. If you are an experienced agent, you can use this guide as a refresher on what to include or leave out in your listing descriptions. Either way, you will be able to write more compelling listing descriptions that will sell more listings.
## What is a listing?
A listing is a description of a home that is for sale on the real estate market. It includes information about the home, such as price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, and more. A listing also includes contact information for the listing agent and the listing owner. The listing agent is the agent who represents the seller in the sale of the home. The owner is the person who owns the home and wants to sell it.
There are two types of listings: active and expired. An active listing is one that is currently on the market. An expired listing has been removed from the market and is no longer available for sale. You can see the status of a listing by visiting the listing page on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), which is a database of all the homes for sale in a specific area. The MLS will tell you if the listing is active or expired.
## Why Write a Listing Descriptions
Listing descriptions are an important part of selling a home. They are the first impression a potential buyer has of your home, so they need to be compelling enough to get them to click on your listing and read the rest of the description. In addition, a good listing description can increase the likelihood that a buyer will make an offer on your home. It can also help you get more showings, which can lead to more offers and ultimately, a higher sale price.
Writing a compelling description can be a challenge, especially if you are new to real estate. In this guide, I’m going to teach you everything you need to know about writing a listing that will get the attention of potential buyers. I will also show you examples of great listing descriptions from real estate agents who have been selling homes for many years. You will learn how to structure a listing so that it is easy to read and understand, and how to use bullets and paragraphs to make it even more compelling.
