Our 5 POINT MARKETING SYSTEM gives sellers a serious competitive advantage in the market.
1. Hosted Infomercials- these are not just virtual tours. They are full marketing presentations that give buyers a real understanding of the opportunity of purchasing the subject home.
2. High Quality Professional Photography and 3D Interior/Exterior Tour- We spare no expense to make our clients’ homes shine above the rest.
3. Saturation Marketing Campaigns- We broadcast our media everywhere possible at all times, from highly localized neighborhood mailing campaigns and print ads, to a national reach online. We invest a significant amount of money, time and effort into this and leave no stone unturned.
4. Dedicated Website for Your Home- we build them to drive traffic to and focus a buyer's attention.
5. The Team Advantage- Having a big team means having a significantly amplified reach and influence in the market. Together we can create a real “buzz” around a property. Moreover, by working with large numbers of buyers and having a deep database of buyers to communicate with, we are often able to bring the sale of a home to fruition quickly and efficiently.
My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what some of my clients have said about my real estate services...
