It’s a sellers’ market.
Despite record-setting levels of home-buying interest, new listings have decreased by about 5% compared to this time last year, and the average time a property spends on market is now just 10 days, down from 83 in 2019.
So with competition for listings fiercer than ever, what can you do to set yourself apart and earn more seller clients?
Win more listings by advertising your past solds
As home prices continue to climb and sellers realize they can make a tidy profit on a sale, more and more are likely to enter the market. Several consumer publications have recently advised undecided sellers to seize the opportunity—even if they intended to wait for upwards of a year or two. So why not go after these consumers now by leveraging your previous experience?
Past solds are advertisements that showcase your success in selling a property. They’re used as a way to demonstrate your experience in your sphere and highlight your abilities as a sellers’ agent, and they’re an ideal way to market your business when you don’t have any current listings.
They look like this:
In today’s market, an ideal past sold advertisement would include copy or image to entice an on-the-fence seller towards putting their home up for sale. Did you recently sell a home above asking price? Go under contract in record time? Get an overwhelming number of offers or several all-cash ones? Include it in your ad. The secret isn’t so much to show you can sell their home, but to demonstrate that you can do it better than anyone else.
How Homesnap Can Help
Homesnap offers two options for agents looking to advertise their past solds.
Homesnap Pro Ads

Homesnap Pro Ads also makes it easy to customize your ads. So, if you have particular copy to include on your advertisements—like the fact you sold a listing above market value—you can easily include it to demonstrate why you’re the best agent out there for potential sellers.
