Step-by-Step: Post Property Ads That Sell
Write a Clear, Specific Title
Your title is the first thing buyers and renters see — in search results and on the listing. Be specific: include the property type, key feature, and location.
Tips:
- Include property type and size: "2-Bed", "Studio", "3-Bed Villa", "1-Room"
- Add the area name: "in Riverside District", "near City Centre", "near the business park"
- Mention a key USP: "Semi-furnished", "Gated complex", "No agent fee"
Add High-Quality Photos
Photos are the biggest factor in getting inquiries. Empty rooms with natural light photograph best. Aim for at least 4–6 photos showing every room.
Tips:
- Shoot in daylight — open curtains and windows
- Declutter rooms before shooting
- Include hall, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and building exterior
- Use landscape (horizontal) orientation
Set the Right Price
Overpriced ads are skipped. Research what similar properties in the same area are renting/selling for and price within 5–10% of market rate.
Tips:
- Search PlanetPointers for similar ads in your area
- Price slightly below market to attract quick inquiries
- Mention if price is negotiable — it increases responses
Write a Detailed Description
A thorough description answers questions before they are asked, reducing back-and-forth and attracting serious inquirers. Aim for at least 100–200 words.
Tips:
- Include: floor number, facing direction, age of building
- Mention nearby landmarks: "500m from Metro Station", "near the business park"
- List furnishing details: AC, fridge, washing machine
- State preferred tenant type if applicable
Pin the Exact Location on Map
PlanetPointers is map-first. Listings with a precise map pin appear in radius-based searches — which is how most active buyers and renters find properties here.
Tips:
- Drag the map pin to the exact building, not just the area
- A precise pin appears in "search near me" results
- Buyers can navigate directly to your property using GPS
Add Contact Details & Respond Fast
Ads with verified contact numbers get 2× the inquiry rate. Respond to inquiries within a few hours — renters often approach multiple listings at once.
Tips:
- Add a working mobile number (shown only to logged-in users)
- Enable WhatsApp contact if possible
- Set up a preferred time for visits in the description
Ad Title Examples: Good vs. Bad
| Avoid This | Do This Instead |
|---|---|
| 2 bed flat city | 2-Bed Semi-furnished Flat for Rent in Riverside District | Gated Complex |
| House for rent | 3-Bed Independent House for Rent near Tech Park | 2,000/mo | No Agent Fee |
| Good apartment available | 1-Bed Fully Furnished Apartment in Downtown | 2 min walk to Metro Station |
| Property for sale | 2-Bed Apartment for Sale in Innovation Quarter | Ready to Move | Priced to Sell |
📸 Photo Tips: Get 5× More Inquiries
Listings with at least 4 photos receive five times more inquiries than text-only ads. Here's what to photograph:
Living / Hall
Wide-angle shot showing the full room including windows.
All Bedrooms
Show each bedroom separately. Include built-in wardrobes if present.
Kitchen
Show counter space, storage, and any included appliances.
Bathroom(s)
Clean and well-lit. Show geyser, western/Indian style clearly.
Building Exterior
Show the building entrance, compound, or gated society gate.
Balcony / View
If there is a balcony or good view, always include it — it sells.
