Marketing real estate has evolved over the last several years. I work behind-the-scenes to ensure that your home is visible to potential buyers in a variety of ways. Upon listing your home, I will enter into the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), placed on the company website and several local and national websites. The Internet, social media, and several real estate websites put your home in the public eye much more than in years past.
I also use some new technology as well as tried and true methods to sell your home at the best price and at the optimum length of time. Making phone calls, contacting potential buyers, community groups, alerting other area agents, planning open houses (when appropriate and safe), and following up with respondents to ads, signs, and inquiries from the web all play a part in marketing your home. A unique marketing plan will help set apart your home from the others in your market, drawing in potential buyers.
I look at the marketing process in weekly increments. This allows us to adjust the advertising as we go. Marketing should be organically changing based on the feedback we gather in order to adjust the advertising. Every listing is unique, and so should it’s marketing.
