Here’s a way to put more eyes on your distressed properties.

Abandoned homes, dormant factories, and shuttered businesses are visible signs of a community’s poor economic health. Putting property to productive reuse is a key part of community revitalization. For those tasked with actual property, creating awareness that property is available for reuse is a key step in this process.

Essentially, any piece of real estate is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. Low demand for a property translates to fewer sales and lower sales price. Conversely, the more potential buyers that look at a property, the higher chances are that someone will offer to buy it. And if two people both want to buy the same property, well, that’s a seller’s market and should lead to a bump in selling price.

This common-sense property marketing mindset drove the creation of ePropertyPlus’s Public Site – a turnkey marketing platform included with each ePropertyPlus subscription. A Public Site creates awareness of and improves engagement with your property inventory. It’s like a turnkey marketing platform that does not cost anything to set up and deploy and best of all, it’s entirely integrated with your larger ePropertyPlus software system.

Buyers are Searching for Properties Online

We know that most buyers conduct their property searches online. Buyers are searching online for vacant properties, too. An effective website has to include detailed property listings with the description, location, incentives, and current tax information. And while you can list your vacant properties on sites such as LandFlip.com to reach buyers across the country, keeping websites up to date with an ever-changing inventory is really tough. It’s also tough to communicate unique program guidelines or set screening requirements on stand-alone websites set up for traditional real estate sales.

According to data from the National Association of Realtors®’ 2020 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers report, buyers who used the internet to search for a home increased to an all-time high of 97% last year.
