As an executor I will be selling a house in the new year through one of the big nationwide estate agents. It’s a 3 bed Dublin semi with a large rear garden in what is considered a very good residential area. It should sell for around €800K.
The agent is recommending a double picture ad in the Irish Times property supplement on Thursdays with a picture of the front of the house and the rear garden. Including VAT this would cost €900 for the 2 Thursdays it would be advertised for. A single picture ad of just the front of the house would cost €450 for the 2 Thursdays.
I accept a single photo add is definitely needed for both weeks. My question is a double add worth the additional €450 ?
I’m thinking the double add will be more beneficial to the agent rather than the seller but am willing to be convinced otherwise.
Surely anyone remotely interested will go to the agent’s website and will see numerous pictures of the house and garden together with the detailed property description.
Any thoughts ?
