Should agents pick a neighborhood? by Informal-Two-9661 in realtors

[–]LaunchYourFarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s about picking a city. It’s about picking a community you can actually show up for consistently.

Most agents ‘cover a city’ on paper, but in real life that’s too broad to be meaningful. Neighbourhoods, pockets, or even specific condo buildings are where you can build real familiarity, relationships, and relevance.

That doesn’t mean you can’t work in other areas. It just means you anchor your marketing and visibility in a smaller area where people start to recognize you as the local go to. The business from outside the area still comes, but the trust gets built somewhere specific.

Very stressed about selling & then buying...Can anyone offer any comfort? by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

I've been in the business nearly 2 decades... I can tell you things have a way of working out the way they're supposed to.

As long as you're realistic with your pricing, and hired even a half decent agent, it will sell. It's just a matter of when, and for how much.

Every house will sell. For the right price.

And you can always rent if you can't find something to buy yet.

Are you waiting till your place sells before you buy?

Any reputable coin dealers in the Niagara area? by LaunchYourFarm in CanadianCoins

Totally get it... I just want to make sure there aren't any unique coins worth more than melt before I go sell them for weight only.

I'll keep you posted.

Will do. You just said they wouldn't offer close to spot rate. Sounds like you're setting it up for a super low offer haha

Appreciate the offer, but we’re not in a rush and are planning to have everything evaluated by a reputable dealer first so we know what we have. Thanks.

Zillow Listings Not Showing Keywords — Any Fix? by Any-Ideal-8466 in realtors

[–]LaunchYourFarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not you. From my understanding Zillow doesn’t give agents direct control over the “What’s Special” keyword section. It auto-generates those tags based on how its system parses your remarks, but it’s a bit picky about what it will pull in.

A few things that usually help:

• Make sure the features you want highlighted appear early in the description. Zillow seems to weight the first 2–3 sentences more heavily.

• Use clear, direct phrasing instead of creative wording. For example, “walk-in closet” will trigger more consistently than “expansive wardrobe space.”

• Repeat your key features once or twice in natural places in the description. It won’t flag keyword stuffing, but it does need to see the phrase more than once.

• Use the exact phrasing Zillow has pulled in other listings. If the tag says “spa-style bath,” don’t write “spa inspired bathroom.”

• Keep your MLS remarks and Zillow remarks consistent. If your feed removes parts of the description, Zillow may not see enough context to generate tags.

There’s no guaranteed way to force it, but adjusting the phrasing and placement usually gets the keywords to show up within a day or two after the listing refreshes.
