Find and win your next property listing

Have you secured a real estate license and are ready to make 2021 your breakout year? Or have you sold most of your stock and need another listing? 

One of the hardest decisions for a vendor is choosing an agent to sell their home. By embracing technology, digital systems and online advertising platforms, you can effectively position your personal brand, build your credibility and reach a wider number of prospective vendors. 

Here are some ways to help you find and win your next listing: 

1. Stand out from the crowd 

Want to take authority in your suburb? When a prospective vendor is searching Trade Me Property listings to see which agents are selling in their suburb, you can strategically influence their decision through your listing type. 

By upgrading to Premium Listing, your authority and marketing expertise may trigger the vendor to find out more about you and what you have to offer by clicking through to your agent profile. 

2. Build your profile 

Just like finding at doctor who you trust, a vendor's first decision is to find the right agent to sell their most valuable asset. Prospective vendors will do their research by checking out profiles of agents before making a short list and contacting them. 

OneHub is a platform designed exclusively for agents to ensure you're part of this research. Build your own agent profile and showcase your recent sales, current listings and personality in front of NZ's most active and engaged property audience*.
