How Will My Property be Listed?
The word “listing” really doesn’t describe the many ways in which we market your home. An effective marketing program requires exposure in many different media and places.
The MLS
Recent studies show that 85% or more of all homes sold in the U.S. are sold through their listing in the MLS, Multiple Listing Service. This is a cooperative service of the real estate brokers in an area. They all place their listings in the MLS, and offer commission sharing with other brokers who bring buyers for their homes. It’s efficient, detailed, up-to-date, and accurate.
Our Website
We have invested a huge amount of time, effort and money in the creation and maintenance of our brokerage website. We market it to search engines and present your home with multiple photos, a virtual tour, and complete information about its location, features and benefits.
Syndication
Any single website is like a grain of sand on a beach when you compare it to the scope of the Internet. We take your listing information and photos and syndicate them out to other real estate sites all around the Web. From smaller specialty sites to large sites like Trulia and Zillow, we get your home exposed all over the Internet on sites enjoying millions of page views every day.
Print Advertising
We run continuous brokerage ads in the local newspaper’s real estate section, as well as several homes magazines. From single exposure to running your home in a group in large full color ads, we will make sure that your home is out there in print for potential buyers to see.
Direct Mail
We market in multiple neighborhoods and subdivisions with direct mail. Post cards will go out to your area to let the neighbors know that you’re selling. It’s a fact that there is often a buyer right around the corner. Many times we’ve found that there are people wanting to move up to a larger home or down to a smaller one, but they like their neighborhood and don’t want to move away. Or, they know someone who wants to move into the area.
All of the marketing and advertising in the world isn’t worthwhile unless it’s effective. We are constantly measuring and quantifying the results of our marketing. Knowing what works, what puts your home in front of the most buyer eyes is what we do. It’s how we’ll sell your home.
