OUR PROVEN MARKETING SYSTEM
See for yourself...
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 Social 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 FOOTAGE
If 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.
Using specific keywords, targeted locations, and search behavior, we craft custom Google Pay-Per-Click campaigns to drive potential buyers to your home’s listing. This helps your listing stand out to those who may be most interested.
We understand buyers’ search preferences can vary and don’t rely on just our website to promote your listing. We provide exposure on Zillow, one of the most used real estate search websites in the country, to ensure your home is seen by a wide audience.
PAID TARGETED ADVERTISING ON GOOGLE EXPOSURE ON ZILLOW
There’s no better way to sell your home than to have interested buyers walk through the front door. We advertise and promote your home to potential buyers and their agents in advance to ensure successful Open Houses.
MULTIPLE PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
Not all agents will have clients interested in your home. We specifically target the top agents bringing buyers to your neighborhood and your price point. Our focused communication means that agents pay attention when they hear from us.
TOP
Professionally designed and commercially printed, our Chinowth & Cohen property flyers allow buyers to take away a favorable representation of your home after every showing.
DISTINCTIVE PROFESSIONAL FLYERS
We maintain an internal Client Relationship Management database consisting of tens of thousands of potential buyers. We will match your property to specific buyers based on location, price and size and contact them directly about your listing.
Most buyers work with an agent in the purchase of their home, so generating excitement within the Broker Community is critical to the success of your sale. By showcasing your property to outside Brokers, we build a sales team of agents who want to sell your property.
PREVIEW SHOWINGS
By participating in our local MLS, your home will reach all agents in the area as well as show on other Brokerage websites. This increases exposure, and allows us to better cooperate with other agents who may have the perfect buyer for your home.
We host a website specifically for your property, where potential buyers can follow the status, share with friends, request showings and much more. This encourages engagement with your home online and showcases your property individually.
WEBSITE SPECIFIC TO YOUR PROPERTY
If your home and desired selling strategy requires more from us, we can do it! Every home sale is different, and we can’t wait to create the perfect plan for you.
BROKER’S LOCAL AGENT PREVIEW EMAILElite TV features your property on Sunday at 10 AM on the CW or streaming from ccoklahoma.com. Our professionally produced 30 minute show features area homes with video and voice over highlighting your property’s features.
ELITE TV - YOUR HOME IS THE STAR!
Many man hours go into the marketing of each and every Chinowth & Cohen listing. No agent can do it alone. We have a team of twelve full-time marketing staff who execute the many steps necessary to deliver our marketing services to you.
Elite Magazine is produced by Chinowth & Cohen’s marketing team and features every active listing offered to the public. This FREE publication is available at our offices and area QuikTrip, CVS and Reasor’s locations.
ELITE MAGAZINE
95% of home buyers look online for properties during the home buying process. How your home looks online is critical to getting buyers through the door for showings. If the photos online don’t “wow” them, they may never come, which is why Chinowth & Cohen has strict professional guidelines for all listings.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM APPROACH
First impressions matter in the sale of your home. Our clean and professional signs let potential buyers know you are working with a reputable firm in the sale of your home without detracting from the curb appeal of the property.
LUXURY YARD AND POST SIGN
Northeastern Oklahoma’s leading newspaper source for Real Estate. Your property can be promoted in this beautiful fullcolor tabloid available in Saturday’s edition of Tulsa World. Ads and Open House listings are created by our in-house marketing team.
TULSA WORLD: WORLD OF HOMES
Real estate postcards are one of the most effective ways to keep the public and potential buyers up to date on your property! Postcards are a great way to showcase your home to neighbors.
Potential buyers want information at the tip of their fingers. Our Text Code sends them your property details instantly and allows me to follow up on their inquiry afterwards.
24/7 INFORMATION SIGN RIDER WITH TEXT CODE
Varied ads in these highly read publications are a vital part of a home marketing campaign: Tulsa People, Oklahoma Magazine, Homes & Land, Tulsa World Magazine and more.
OUTSIDE PUBLICATIONS
Advertising in local weekly publications is an inexpensive, yet effective way to reach a wide audience. The Owasso Reporter, Skiatook Journal, Sand Springs Leader and Wagoner County America are very popular in our market.

WHAT MATTERS AND WHAT DOES NOT MATTER IN THE SALE OF YOUR HOME
Factors Impacting Sales Price:
• Lot Size
• House Size
• House Condition/Features
• Recent Sales
• Competition
• Timing
• Financing
• Special Conditions
Regardless of what you paid, what you owe, how much you want, or what any other agent may say they can sell your house for, in the end it is the Buyers who will determine the selling price. What You Paid
PRICING YOUR HOME AT FAIR MARKET VALUE
IF THE ASKING PRICE IS:
If the asking price of a property increases beyond fair market value, the market of potential buyers decreases dramatically.
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!
» During the listing period, maintain the home in ready-to-show condition with beds made, clutter removed, dishes put away and so forth.
» 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. If at all possible, take your pets with you to the park or on an errand run during a showing. Please hide all pet bowls and supplies.
» 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, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ANYTIME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS!
