Free real estate advertising , the best option

As we have said before, there are many ways of advertising a property, using different means such as television, newspapers, Internet, magazines, radio channels, etc. but all these options are not for free, and in some occasions, the fee we must pay for a simple advertisement is really high. Free real estate advertising is almost impossible to get, but if we look carefully, we may find some alternatives to avoid paying for publishing our property; internet is one of the most popular solutions for this inconvenient since we can find some websites which give us the opportunity to upload a video or images of our property without paying a cent.

Many people think that free real estate advertising is not as effective as an expensive publication but we must affirm that this concept is incorrect; affording ads does not guarantee that our property gets sold or rented, perhaps we count with more services that may catch the attention of potential customers but it does not mean that we will do the transaction earlier.

Free real estate advertising has showed being a great option for those who can not afford an expensive commercial but still look for a good alternative. What does this type of advertisement offer?. First of all we have to remark that the services given by free real estate advertising can’t be compared with those which belong to private sites; for example in a free internet page we do not have special programs to convert photos or images and the video we may upload must have a size of 50 MB as much. Otherwise, we still count with a special section to introduce vital information about the property (rooms, garage, neighborhood, etc.) and a place to leave our e-mail address or phone number. Free real estate advertising websites are not very common since this new tendency has been developed during the last 4 years and is still growing, so we must search very carefully and hard a good alternative that pleases our needs.

Registration

Although there are other free means to promote our property, we affirm that the best way to catch customers attention is to use internet websites; to publish a video of our house or apartment on an internet free real estate web site, we first must open an account on the page choosing a nick name and a password; this is very important since we will use both to access the site and operate. Once we have done this, we must start with the registration process; here is where we have to enter our private information such as phone number, e-mail address, name and surname, zip code, etc.

It is very possible, it will depend on the free real estate advertising website, that we will have to wait for a confirmation e-mail to verify our account; after receiving it and following all the necessary steps, our account will be authorized. This is when we start the video uploading; first of all, we must remind you that not all video formats are allowed in free real estate advertising websites, that is why we must read the terms of use and conditions as the frequent asked questions, to learn about all the programs we may use to convert the clips.

Most of internet sites work with MPEG, AVI and MOV; in case we do not have a video taped, we must look for an image converter, but not all free websites include one. Free real estate advertising websites advise us to film a high quality video, we mean, that images must be clear so the user may enjoy the property without doubts; in case we record the clip during the night it is recommended to use flash lights and filters to get better shoots from each area. Finally, we must remember that free real estate advertising on the internet allow us to publish videos at any cost but we also have responsibilities like updating the video file, do the renewal of each publication, include all the important information related to us and to the property we are promoting, etc. Once our house has been sold or rented, we must cancel the subscription for that video, otherwise we may be punished and our account might be closed for not following the policy and terms of the website.
