Home sweet home

Even if you haven’t bought or sold a home yourself, chances are that you’ve at least spent time staring at real estate windows, flicking through brochures, walking past sign boards or browsing online. Real estate is everywhere.

And where there’s a sale, there’s a listing. A listing is a property’s ‘shop window’ – the best chance to get buyers interested and excited about one of the biggest purchases they’ll ever make. Photos tell some of the story – but a well-written listing will generate more interest and potentially sell quicker.

In a red hot market, you might think that a real estate agent could get a cat to walk across the keyboard and property would still sell. But well-crafted words (just like professional photos) will always work better, regardless of the market. And that’s where this online course can help.

“The entire course was really well structured and detailed. I walked away from the course knowing I have a new skillset to offer and am capable of making money from it.”

Add new options to your freelance income

This self-paced course in Real Estate Copywriting will give you the skills you need to write compelling listings that paint an ideal picture of the property for sale.

It’s a great extra skill to have for freelance writers who:

  • want an additional revenue stream
  • have a passion for homes and property
  • are looking to build a strong client base through regular work
  • would like to create a niche writing in this area
  • simply love sticky-beaking in other people’s houses!

More and more real estate agents are understanding the value of perfectly penned copy in helping to attract potential buyers. By outsourcing their copy to freelance writers, they can focus on other aspects of their business. You simply have to look at the number of different agencies to see the earning potential.

(This is also the a great course for those currently working in the real estate industry who would like to improve the quality of writing for themselves or their team. This course has been approved for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in some Australian states and territories. Contact your local state body to confirm its current status.)

“Dean is so generous with course content and industry tips. His information gathering printout tool is a winner. It makes perfect sense to walk through a house and gather information the way he has set it out. The body copy that my agent received when my beautiful house was recently placed on the property market, was way under par… I asked if I could have a go… Long story short, the house sold, the agent's office wanted to know who wrote the script and bam…..eight copywriting jobs later, I am writing a review for this course.”

Selling the dream

Writing about properties is more than just how many bathrooms and bedrooms a home has. It’s about painting a picture that will connect emotionally with a potential buyer. It’s also about telling a story about the kind of life that can be possible with the home in question.

It’s about selling a dream. But for once, that dream is real. It’s sitting right there, waiting for a new owner to step across the threshold.

As a real estate writer, you can play a part in bringing these kinds of dreams to life.
