A web site is an invaluable tool in selling your property. It compliments any print or online advertising you may undertake, as well as the e-brochure produced as part of marsbrook's marketing solutions to selling your house in France. Websites produced by marsbrook are tailored specifically to helping you market and sell your property.

Your web site may be the last stage before you confirm a viewing with someone. It's role is to both further entice people as well as to better qualify them, such that should they come to view it, you know that they already love it for what it is!

Although it can provide more detail than the e-brochure, it excels in enabling you to allow people to view your home from the comfort of their own. Through copious images (we recommend 2 per room from different angles in addition to exterior shots and some of the local area) prospective purchasers can truly appreciate the benefits of your property. When viewed in conjunction with our clear, professional floor plans, they will get a good feel for how the property will work for them.

a web site domaine name

What to call your site? You can quote your sites name in any advertising you do, or when you talk to people, hence an easy to remember and spell name is always a good choice. We can work with you to help identify an appropriate one as necessary. We'll then handle the registration for you.

professionally designed floor plans and graphics

Through the inclusion of professionally produced floor plans which we build on your behalf using arthitectural software, prospective purchasers will be able to better visualise how the house 'fits together'. Layout can be important for people, and understanding how the house would work, or could work for them subject to certain modifications is not to be underestimated.

In particular where properties are substantial in size, or involve lots of rooms, layout plans are an extremely important tool.

To assist people who may be unfamiliar with your location in France, we produce two graphics to help them. The first, which is generally located on your home page indicates broadly where you are in France relative to other major cities. The second is a more detailed map of the local area surrounding you, broadly covering a 20 to 30km circumference.

photographs

More than anything else, photographs sell houses. People want to see as much as possible before committing to a viewing which may hold significant travel implications for them. But once committed, you can rest assurred that you have a servious prospect. It's for this reason that we build French house for sale web sites with lots of photos! If people are as suspicious as us, when pictures of rooms are not included they will question why. And if the kitchen and bathroom are noth there, they will assume they either don't have one, or that it desperately needs replacing. The latter isn't a problem as long as people know.

a web site in English and French

With our most comprehensive property marketing option (the 'comprehensive' option) we produce a French version of the web site too. You can either provide us with the translated version yourself, or we will produce a cut down version of the web site in French using a combination of our own knowledge of French in conjunction with translation tools. Please see the French version on http://www.maisonaude.com/ for an example of this. Although we live in France we are not fluent, and whilst what we produce is satisfactory for promoting your house to the French market, it will definately not be grammatically prefect.

fine tuned for success

Although your site is primarily a sales aid to support the advertising you do to sell your house, we still fine tune it to provide you with the best chance possible to appear under relevant searches on the internet using such search engines as Google, Yahoo and MSN.

We submit your site to these search engines as well as listing it on the property for sale in France section of marsbrookproperties.com to assist search engines in finding and listing you quickly.

contact form

To make it easy for people to contact you we include a contact form as standard on all web sites. Most sites simply include the email address to write to. A missed opportunity in our view! Far better to use the opportunity to gather some information on prospective purchasers to see how interesting they are to you. We suggest asking questions such as what timescales are they looking to purchase in, do they have a house to sell prior to purchasing, is it on the market as yet, will they require a mortgage, etc..

email

Before you start advertising your property you might like to consider what could happen to your email address! Some of the more successful sites unfortunately make your email address very public with the result being that your private email address could very well end up on various dubious mailing lists offering you mortgages refinancing or.... well, who knows!

As part of your property marketing package with marsbrook we will provide you with up to 3 email addresses which you can use in the marketing of your property thereby protecting the integrity of your personal address. You can actively use these addresses, or have us set them up with automatic responses whilst forwarding the original email to your personal email address.
