AWARD WINNING SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING CAMPAIGNS
We leverage the power of our significant social network when marketing your new listing. Using blog posts, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, we place your home in front of a wide audience of potential buyers.
Targeted FSocial Media posts allow us to laser focus ads to possible buyers based on dozens of behavioral, geographic, and demographic matrix. We use your property location, price, and unique characteristics to showcase your home to Facebook users who most closely match your ideal buyer.
THE POWER OF VIDEO
As a real estate agent, part of the value of your services is your ability to create and implement a successful marketing plan. These days, standard real estate marketing strategies incorporate digital marketing materials. Featuring virtual tours on your site is an elegant way to signal to clients that you’re aware of cutting-edge technological solutions and that your services include a versatile marketing toolkit. They’ll be impressed by your property listings and your marketing savvy.
PHOTO/VIRTUAL TOURS
Our professional video tours establish the sense of ownership that is crucial to nudging clients towards finalizing the real thing. Virtual tours allow clients to tour the property on their own time and at their own pace, giving them a sense of personal connection. You can enhance this sense of connection by adding virtual tours to a suite of other interactive features. The more time and energy they invest, the more likely they’ll feel committed to reaching out to you with an inquiry.
MATTERPORT 3D TOURS
Our highly trained Videographers will give your property a true 3-D experience! Our brains are hard-wired to think visually, constantly calculating distances and depths. Videos are flat and tours with just 360o photos don’t offer that unique Matterport Dollhouse View. Plus Matterport makes it easy to capture large properties with automatic alignment. Only Matterport offers the easiest to create and most immersive experience for marketing Real Estate. It’s the closest you can get to actually being there.
DRONE FOOTAGEIf there is one universal truth about home buyers, it’s that they are terrible at visualizing space. Is your property unique? Palacial? An acrege with natural beauty? Our drone footage will show it all! Most listing photography does little to help. For example, say your listing has a huge 3 acre backyard, but 75% of it is obscured by trees. The photo on your listing makes it look tiny. With a drone video, you can capture the entire yard in one video and show buyers just how big a space it really is.
THE BEST TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP YOU SEAMLESSLY UPDATED ON THE STATUS OF YOUR SALE

IF THE ASKING PRICE IS:
THE
PROPERTY APPEALS TO:
15% over market value 20% of the buyers
10% over market value 30% of the buyers
5% over market value 50% of the buyers fair market value 95% of the buyers

Property Interest Level
30 days 60 days 90 days
Your home receives the most exposure to the greatest number of potential buyers within the first 14-30 days on the market. Pricing at fair market value from the beginning ensures the highest number of interested buyers see the home. As time passes, perceived value decreases, resulting in a lower sales price.

THE BUYING ATMOSPHERE
When it comes time to show your property, here are some suggestions that will create a smooth and successful process!
» Maintain the home in ready-to-show condition with beds made, clutter removed, dishes put away and so forth. Then, you’re always ready for a showing as soon as you get the phone call.
» Showcase your home as if you are receiving guests. Turn on lights or open drapes, place flowers in vases, hang your best towels, light a fire in the fireplace if it’s cold outside, and play soft background music.
» During a showing, try to step out for a cup of coffee or run a few errands. The potential buyer will feel more relaxed if allowed to view your home without any distractions.
» Make sure your pets are confined to a safe and out of the way place.
» In some cases, silence can be golden. If you are present for the showing, it’s best to reserve comments until the buyer has left your home.
» For safety purposes, it’s wise to show the home to a buyer only if the associate working with them is present. You should also put away your valuable items, such as jewelry and collectibles. ALWAYS,
