1 White Abbey Lawns in Kildare – Eddie and Lorraine's recently-sold home.

EDDIE AND LORRAINE, from Kildare Town, recently decided to take the leap of selling the place they had called home for ten years. With one child aged four and another ten-month-old baby, space was at a premium in their 124 m² home. The couple needed a house better suited to the needs of a young family, and they knew a good sale price was essential to making that move a reality.

Selling a home is one of the most significant financial decisions a family can make. In today’s competitive market, getting the best exposure and price for the house you put on the market is essential. Preparation will stand to you if you’re hoping for a stress-free sale that will, in turn, let you move on to your next home in good time.

Listening to the sound advice of their expert property professional, Kathy Moran of AMOVE, Eddie and Lorraine used a Daft Advantage Ad to sell their house.

For estate agent Kathy, investing in a Daft Advantage Ad is a no-brainer for her clients. “I often say that even if they get an extra €1,000, thanks to a Daft Advantage Ad, the ad has been paid for ten times over,” said Kathy, seeing as prices start from only €99.

Eddie saw the importance of giving their home at 1 White Abbey Lawns more prominence on Daft.ie straight away. “The house is nice from the outside but it looks much better inside. So having the ad get more views was great,” he said.

There’s no question that increased clicks on the Daft Advantage Ad increased viewings. “Getting more people in the door made people realise that it was the house for them,” continued Eddie who, in the end, sold the house for more than 30% over the original asking price.

Selling a home isn’t something you do every day. It’s crucial to make every effort count to achieve the best possible outcome. A Daft Advantage Ad guarantees unbeatable visibility because your ad will be at the top of search results on Daft.ie, ensuring maximum exposure to potential buyers. 

Daft Advantage Ads also benefit from larger photos to really make your property stand out. With greater visibility comes increased interest, and sellers are opening themselves up to much more offers and, in turn, better sale prices.

Kathy Moran is a huge advocate for using Daft Advantage Ads, particularly when she’s trying to sell a house in a certain part of Kildare. “In south Kildare, we’re competing a lot more for buyers. Any extra string to our bow benefits my sales and viewing numbers. What I find very interesting is that the house hunters I meet at the viewings say it’s there first time in south Kildare,” said Kathy.

This in itself proves that a Daft Advantage is a clear indicator of the reach Daft Advantage Ads see online. 

Eddie and Lorraine's new forever home.

Eddie’s experience is proof that a Daft Advantage Ad is the best way to maximise your return when selling your home. In Eddie’s own words, “you’d be mad not to” when asked if he’d recommend taking out a Daft Advantage Ad to other home sellers.
