According to HomesGoFast.com, an independent service which
advertises property for sale world-wide, 70% of its UK customers who choose to advertise their properties online with it and its partner sites are female.
Jane Marr, director of HomesGoFast.com, says: “Women are the real decision makers when it comes to selling a home. They are the ones searching the internet for a new abode and call their partners over to the computer when they find one. Just as many women tend to enjoy looking into other people’s houses, they seem to find surfing for a new home a pleasure. I believe men
find it more of a functional matter.”
Ideal for the female market, HomesGoFast.com removes many of the complexities involved with buying and selling property. The service puts buyers in contact with vendors at a low fixed cost.
Private sellers benefit from wide online exposure on HomesGoFast.com and its major partner sites, which include the Fish4 network (including Skyactive) and Propertyfinder.com. Sellers gain instant uploading of their advert and continuous marketing of their property, which is advertised until sold, with
no time limit placed on any ad. They can create an advert at leisure, for no charge, and pay only when they want it to go live.
Thanks to HomesGoFast.com’s no-nonsense service, sellers feel in control. They negotiate directly with the buyer and, when a price is agreed, exchange solicitor details. HomesGoFast.com offers an online conveyancing service, which means the whole process can be completed without the stresses and strains of approaching a ‘traditional’ solicitor.
As well as private sellers reaping rewards, property agents outside the UK benefit from using HomesGoFast.com’s service. They can reach a vast European audience of people who are seeking property abroad. HomesGoFast.com provides a free overseas property finding service for serious buyers. Whether it’s a finca in Spain, an apartment in the United Arab Emirates or a property in an emerging market such as Brazil, a massive range of property is represented.
A whole section of the website is dedicated to finding the perfect holiday home and users can search in countries of their choice.
To attract the right buyers, HomesGoFast.com has focused on search engine optimisation for overseas property search terms and currently comes top in many major search engines including Google and MSN for “sell property fast”.
The service allows customers to list all their available properties in one place, from where they are automatically distributed to Fish4 and Propertyfinder as well as the HomesGoFast.com site.
Jane Marr reflects on the market: “Women list with us as they are prepared to break away from traditional methods of selling their property. They are more creative and like to make their own adverts. They also enjoy being in control and are therefore suited to selling property themselves. Most of all, they know a bargain when they see one… and £45.00 to sell your home
when traditional estate agents frequently charge thousands is certainly a good deal!”
