Seller Services

When I take a listing, I plunge head first in getting the home and the marketing ready for the very first person who sees your home on the MLS. The first day is very important to the marketing of your newly listed home. I make it a point to load the listing into the MLS along with 6 color photos of the exterior and interior including detailed descriptions of each photo. I also load a virtual tour which often includes more than 60 additional color photos with detailed descriptions.

Many people who are searching for homes are contacted each day via email from the MLS for new listings meeting their criteria. When they see your home for the first time on MLS, it has photos and descriptions so they can see the home immediately, make an educated decision of their interest via the photos and descriptions, and set up a showing!

I keep all of my listings on my website, and they are updated instantly as contracts are accepted, closings occur and as listings enter the MLS marketplace

You would not believe the amount of new listings on the MLS without photos on the first day! Your home photos sell the house, and are a top priority for me and are guaranteed to be in the MLS on Day One!

At the same time that you have your home listed on the market, so do many other sellers. I think it is important to share with you daily other homes being listed or reduced in your price range. This helps you know where your home is in relation to any competition you may have in the market. You can compare your home to others listed at the same time and in the same price range to understand the process of the buyer.

Internet marketing is the future and the future is now. As many as 85% of all home buyers begin their home search on the internet. As the price range of home increases into the luxury level ($500,000+), even more home buyers begin on the internet. Your home will be listed on my two personal websites, as well as at least 7 others, and we are constantly adding more links and advertising to other sites to advertise your home to niche markets. REMAX.COM is an international site, and we have locations in over 50 countries. I have an email marketing campaign for Top Agents in their respective markets and inform them when a listing comes available that they may have buyers for. I utilize reverse prospecting amongst realtors, and we can talk more about this at our meeting.

As with all real estate matters, I am a professional, and I always answer my direct line, unless with a client. If I cannot answer your call live, I will return your call as soon as I have a free moment between homes or customers! Ask around and call a few agents just to see how quickly they return your calls, I am always ready to do business for my clients.

I supply all of my listings with an Electronic Lock Box ONLY. This is a must, as safety is a priority when selling your home. The electronic lock box allows me to track each person who enters your home via an electronic "e-key" that only realtors can access. This tracking is important to see who and when people were in the house. I don't use the older lock boxes because anyone could give out that secret code, and I prefer safety for my clients and myself.

I use upgraded, professional swing post signs. I feel in the areas I service, something different and more customized is appropriate. The signs I use are taller than other real estate signs, and sit 5 feet off of the ground for better visibility for both foot and car traffic. The signs are also reflective, so they can be seen in the darkness or in the darker winter months. I also provide directional signs in the event the home is located in a secluded area or we need to direct extra traffic from several different entrances to the home. In certain situations, a Take One box may be used as well.

I will hold various types of Open Houses at your request for the general public at many different times and days. I hold a Realtor Open House for agents with clients looking in the area for similar properties. My office pioneered this tour on Tuesdays, and I have used it to sell several properties in just a few hours of listing! Often I will incorporate into the Realtor Open Houses a luncheon for increased traffic into your home by agents! I can do Neighborhood Open Houses to increase awareness for your home amongst the neighbors, or an Open House targeting other professionals in your line of work, or a play group. The creative options to marketing your home have no limits.

I often use in home directional signs to point out unique aspects or upgrades to the home that would increase value or accent a feature that is sometimes overlooked or forgotten. I also create and produce brochures for your home with photos, descriptions, features, disclosures and other information that would help to set your home apart and sell your home.

I offer an optional customized 3D “Floor Plan in my menu of unique listing services. This allows buyers who have seen several homes in one day to better recall your unique floor plan, and perhaps begin visualizing their furniture in your home, thus facilitating an offer.

I utilize a Virtual Tour to market unique aspects of homes. These tours have as many photos that are necessary to depict the unique and historic features of your home. The photos include descriptions of the features, and their benefits to the buyer. Typically, there will be 30-100 photos included, depending on the size of the home. Photos can be included from the summer and winter months to show foliage and beautiful snow winter scenes, firework and skyline views. I also include lot descriptions and overhead views of the property lines, and any additional warranty info you might want to include for buyers to consider.

I'e shown proven success by attending showings and Selling the home. This has resulted in several quick sales (less than 50 hours on the market). Ask Amy about this option at your meeting with her, or call for more information.

I mail “Just Listed postcards to buyers in other areas that would likely be moving up into the type of home you are marketing. I often advertise in local magazines and papers depending on the time frame we have to work with. I advertise myself and my website to direct potential buyers to the listings I offer. I have added Floor Plans and Survey Plats to my standard listing information to give buyers all the information on your home .

I consistently follow up with agents who show the home to gain feedback with regards to location, pricing, amenities, et cetera so that we are aware of the perception of home buyers. This feedback often helps us make necessary changes to sell the home more quickly.

Home Owner and Seller incentives often vary but sometimes include, Free Dry cleaning, Free Home Security System Installation and Systems. Ask what is available to you at our meeting.
