My Marketing Plan

Marketing Your Home
Not all homes are created equal and neither are all REALTORS®. What sets me apart is my attention to the highest level of performance for my clients. It's reported that over 70% of all first inquiries regarding real estate use the Internet. Therefore, I've placed critical importance on the use of both technology and fundamental applications to insure you the most satisfaction throughout the process. They are as follows:

• Property Flyer - I prepare a professional marketing sales tool including graphics and highlights of your home to distribute to the brokerage community and potential buyers.
• Multiple Listing Service (MLS) - Information about your home will be included in the Multiple Listing Service, a database of currently available properties accessible by real estate professionals.
• Other Brokers/Agents - I cooperate with and invite other brokers and agents in the community to tour your home in order to find a buyer.
• Relocation Connections - Prospects for your home also come from relocation services, corporations, executive search firms, and fellow associates who keep track of potential buyers and maintain relationships with former clients.
• The Internet - With over 70% of today's consumers utilizing the Internet for real estate information, I employ a robust set of tools and resources to make your home available for preview.
  • My website
  • My broker's website
  • Email alert

I will remain in very close contact with you, providing you regular status report that will include buyer reactions to your home. This will allow us to continually evaluate and reassess our marketing strategy.

Stage 1: Preparing the Home for Sale

• Property Inspection - Before we list your home, we will inspect and identify improvements that could increase profit on the sale.
• Staging - If requested, a professional decorator will stage your home so it can be presented in its best possible light.
• Establishing Goals - Markets can fluctuate so it's important to establish your goals so that we can work hard to meet them.
• Listing Price - Establishing a competitive listing price is critical to the success of the sale. We use the most advance CMA tools to derive the right price.
