Website Calls to Action That Encourage Appraisal Enquiries.

“Contact us” is easy to overlook because it does not explain what the person will receive.

Use wording that describes the next step.

Examples include:

• Request a Property Appraisal

• Arrange a Seller Consultation

• Discuss Your Selling Plans

• Request Recent Local Sales

• Book a Pre-Sale Property Walk-Through

• Compare Your Sale Method Options

• Ask a Local Property Question

• Receive the Monthly Market Update

The right wording depends on the page and the reader.

Do not use the same call to action on every page.

A person reading about preparing a home for sale may respond to:

“Arrange a Pre-Sale Preparation Meeting”

Someone reading a local market update may prefer:

“Request Recent Sales for Your Property”

A homeowner reading about auctions may find this more relevant:

“Discuss Whether Auction May Suit Your Property”

The action should feel like the natural next step after reading the page.

Potential sellers can be grouped into three broad stages.

Early research

These homeowners may not be ready to speak with an agent.

Suitable actions include:

• Download the Seller Preparation Checklist

• Receive Local Market Updates

• Read the Complete Seller Guide

• View Recent Suburb Sales

• Ask a Property Question

Considering a future sale

These owners may be ready for light personal contact.

Suitable actions include:

• Discuss Your Selling Timeframe

• Request Relevant Comparable Sales

• Arrange a Pre-Sale Planning Meeting

• Ask What to Prepare Before Selling

• Compare Your Campaign Options

Ready to appoint an agent

These owners may be comfortable with a direct appraisal invitation.

Suitable actions include:

• Request a Property Appraisal

• Book an Appraisal Meeting

• Arrange a Campaign Consultation

• Speak with a Local Sales Agent

Providing several pathways allows the relationship to begin without forcing every visitor towards the same decision.

A button becomes stronger when the surrounding words explain its value.

For example:

“Request a private property appraisal covering recent comparable sales, current competition, likely buyer interest and suitable campaign options.”

This is more meaningful than:

“Find out what your home is worth.”

A proper appraisal may involve much more than a single price estimate. Explain the quality of the discussion rather than promising an instant answer.

A homeowner may hesitate because they do not know what will happen after completing the form.

Add a short explanation such as:

• A local agent will contact you within one business day.

• There is no obligation to proceed.

• Your details will not be added to unrelated marketing lists.

• We will arrange a suitable time to discuss the property.

• The initial conversation usually takes around 15 minutes.

• You can begin with a telephone call if you are not ready for a property visit.

Only make promises the business can consistently keep.

A long form can discourage genuine enquiries.

Begin with the details needed to start the conversation:

• first name;

• email address;

• telephone number;

• property suburb or address;

• likely selling timeframe; and

• optional message.

Do not require the owner to answer detailed questions about property condition, motivation, expected price and financial circumstances before anyone has spoken with them.

Additional information can be collected during the conversation.

An appraisal invitation should feel professional and comfortable.

Avoid phrases such as:

• Act now

• Do not miss out

• Claim your free appraisal

• Find out how much money you are sitting on

• Sell before it is too late

• Get the highest price guaranteed

These statements can create unnecessary pressure or make promises that cannot be supported.

Calmer alternatives include:

• Understand Your Selling Options

• Request a Current Market Assessment

• Begin Planning Your Sale

• Discuss Your Property Privately

• Ask for Local Sales Evidence

Confidence does not require artificial urgency.

Suitable positions include:

• near the top of the homepage;

• after explaining the selling service;

• beside a relevant case study;

• after a local market update;

• at the end of a seller article;

• near client reviews;

• on the agent profile;

• at the bottom of local suburb pages; and

• in the website menu.

Do not place so many buttons on a page that the reader cannot tell which action matters.

Choose one primary action and, where useful, one quieter alternative.

A visitor may be more willing to enquire after seeing evidence of the service.

Near the appraisal invitation, consider including:

• a detailed client review;

• a short explanation of the process;

• the agent’s photograph and name;

• direct contact details;

• years of relevant local experience;

• a short case study;

• privacy reassurance; or

• a statement explaining who will respond.

Avoid placing several unrelated awards beside the form. The evidence should support the decision the visitor is being asked to make.

Some property owners would rather call than complete a form.

Display the telephone number clearly and make it selectable on mobile devices.

You may use wording such as:

“Prefer to speak directly? Call Sarah on 04XX XXX XXX.”

Make sure the person named can answer or return the call promptly.

Review every important call to action on a mobile phone.

Confirm that:

• buttons are easy to select;

• forms fit the screen;

• text is readable;

• the telephone link works;

• the keyboard suits each form field;

• error messages are clear; and

• the confirmation page loads correctly.

Do not allow a pop-up to cover the entire screen or prevent the visitor from reading the page.

After the form is submitted, explain what happens next.

For example:

“Thank you. Your appraisal request has been received. Michael will review the details and contact you within one business day to arrange a suitable time.”

You could also provide links to:

• a seller preparation guide;

• recent local sales;

• the agent’s profile;

• frequently asked questions; or

• a relevant case study.

Do not leave the visitor looking at a blank page or a message that says only “Form submitted”.

Track:

• people who select the appraisal button;

• people who begin the form;

• completed forms;

• telephone clicks;

• source page;

• genuine seller opportunities;

• appraisal appointments;

• listings won; and

• reasons people abandon the form.

If many visitors select the button but few complete the form, the form may be too long or the next step may feel unclear.

• The wording describes a clear action.

• The action matches the page.

• Different seller stages are considered.

• The visitor knows what they will receive.

• The process after submitting is explained.

• The form asks only for necessary information.

• The language avoids pressure.

• Trust evidence appears nearby.

• Telephone contact is available.

• Buttons and forms work on mobile devices.

• A useful confirmation message is displayed.

• Enquiry quality is measured.

A good call to action does not push a homeowner into a decision.

It removes uncertainty and makes the next step feel clear, relevant and safe.
