\n Get Started<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Add Property Features<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Add detailed information about your listing\u2019s top features and specifications. This may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Land Size<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Number of bedrooms and bathrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Amenities such as a garage, pool, and garden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Special features<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that the details provided are accurate and concise so that potential buyers have a clear picture of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Property Bidding Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you want to set up an auction, you will need to provide general information about the property to start an online auction. This may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Country, address, zip code, city, and state<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Type of auction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: Add Property Interior and Exterior Details<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your potential buyers want to visualize how the property looks. In this section, you need to provide details about the interior and exterior of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: Map and Street View<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to provide a location idea to potential buyers to help them visualize the neighborhood. BidHom\u2019s map and street view features can help achieve that. By providing URLs for aerial views, street views, and virtual tours, you can offer a better understanding of the location to potential buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 10: Property Photos and Videos<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Exterior views from different vantage points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 11: Due Diligence Vault<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 12: Save and Exit<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
