Here's some important facts to help sell your Los Angeles home:
This weekend I went to a real estate conference (RainCamp) at Loyola Marymount University and I learned the following:
- 87% home buyers are using Internet to search for homes
- 94% of 24-44 year olds are using Internet in their home buying process
- 37% of home buyers found their home on the Internet
How can you use these home buying statistics to help sell your home in Los Angeles?
- List your home with an internet and social media savvy real estate agent.
- Have your home professionally staged so it looks great in person and in on-line photos. Professional staging allows you to make your best first impression on the internet.
- Have your home professionally photographed after its staged. Some listing agents include professional photography as part of their marketing because they recognize the difference it makes. Point & shoot photos from a snappy pix camera won't create a compelling desire to see your home
- Make sure your listing agent posts 10-20 photos of your home on the MLS (each MLS limits the number of photos allowed, so number of photos may be different)
Consider the above important facts to help sell your Los Angeles home.

Great information Michelle! Any homeseller would benefit from your advice and staging expertice. In this market... staging will save the day and the dollar!
I knew of the first stat you shared but not of the second two. This is great information to have. I appreciate you taking the time to share what you learned at the Rain Camp.

Thanks LKP! You'll learn this and more at RainCampSacto
Kathy: I thought it was very interesting statistics that can really impact the sale of a home.
Thanks for sharing these important stats Michelle. Staging benefits the sell process during the home tour but also impacts interest of online searchers. Staging turns looking on line to looking in person.

Good points, Leslie!
Michelle- I, like Kathy N, knew of the first stat but not of the latter 2, and these are good to know!! All 3 point to the need for any seller to recognize that there's a new way to market your house and it's even more important to choose the right marketing team ie the Realtor AND Stager.
