Listing Services

When representing a seller, the AmyBSells Team goal is to get you to a contract as quickly as possible, at the highest price possible, with the least amount of inconvenience to you.The AmyBSells Team is constantly searching for ways to educate ourselves about how to give our clients an edge in selling their home. At the top of our list of resources is the annual profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, provided by the National Association of Realtors. We use this valuable tool to accurately place information and marketing where it will most influence the buyer – after all, they are the ones we are trying to reach. This report includes key information and statistics about buyers, their motivations, how they search for real estate, and their agent”s role.Cincinnati mapReal estate in Cincinnati is very diverse, depending on your location. I work with sellers to create custom, original marketing plans based on their needs, the unique home and their location. I am a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, and I use those skills on every single listing, $65K and up! I look forward to working with you on the sale of your home. As always, I am available via cell-phone direct at 513-377-3637 – All the time, any time.

MLS on day one

When I take a listing, I plunge head first in getting the home and marketing materials ready for the very first person who sees your home on the MLS. The first day is extremely important to the marketing of your newly-listed home. I will load the listing with 15 color photos of the interior and exterior with detailed descriptions. I also load a virtual tour on my site, which often includes more than 100 additional color photos with descriptions! (See “Virtual Tours”)Many people searching for new homes are contacted daily by the MLS with new listings. It”s very important that when potential buyers see your home for the first time that your listing is complete and detailed – otherwise we miss that opportunity. You would not believe how many new listings appear on the MLS without photos on day one! The photos of your home can sell your house, so we need to make sure buyers see them.I keep all of my listings on my website, and they are updated instantly as contracts are accepted, closings occur and listings enter the MLS marketplace.

Your Home”s Competition in the MLS

At the same time that you have your home listed on the market, so do many other sellers. I will contact you when other homes in your price range are being listed or reduced. This helps you know where your home stands in relation to your competition. You can compare your home to others listed at the same timeframe and price range to understand what the buyers will see.

Internet/Web/Email Marketing

Laptop CoupleInternet 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 homes increases into the luxury level ($5000,000+), even more home buyers begin on the internet. Your home will be listed on my two personal websites, as well as at least seven others, and we are constantly adding more links and advertising to other sites to advertise your home to niche markets. KW.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 use reverse prospecting among realtors, and we can explain this further at our meeting.

24/7

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

Safety of your Home and Family

I supply all of my listings with only an electronic lock box. 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 can give out the code – I prefer safer options for my clients and myself.

Upgraded Signage

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. Each listing is also equipped with it’s own 24/7 information hotline where buyers driving by can call the number and get an instant description of your home, and the price, and reach me directly should they choose to schedule a showing or have more questions. 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-Home Directional Signage

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 will create a special Property Information Binder for your home with all warranties, pre-inspections, descriptions, features, disclosures and any other information that would help set your home apart.

Virtual Tours

virtual tourI use a Virtual Tour to market unique aspects of homes. These tours have as many photos that are necessary to give the buyer an extremely accurate representation of your home and all its special features. The photos have descriptions of features and heir benefits. Typically there will be 30-100 photos depending on the size of the home. Not only do we want to show the best aspects of your home — foliage, views, etc. — we may even include photos from the community or neighborhood. I also include lot descriptions and overhead views of the property lines and any additional warranty info a buyer may benefit from knowing.

Feedback from Showings

I consistently follow up with agents who show the home to gain feedback with regard to location, pricing, amenities, et cetera, so that we are aware of the perception of buyers. The feedback is gathered a day after the showing, and I pass it on to you as soon as I receive it. This feedback often helps us make necessary changes or adjustments to sell the home more quickly.
