Social Media
At Gigley Real Estate we know that the best way to sell your home is to ensure that everyone sees it! So we take pride in the fact that we don’t just list your home with MLS and send it out to a few home search websites. We create a virtual tour and blast it out on Facebook, Linked In, Twitter, Pinterest and Blog about it on the Gigley Real Estate website. Hannah has more than 2,000 “likes” on her professional Facebook page and many more on her personal page. We advertise your home as a “coming soon” property a few days before we list it and friends and family members start sharing the post, commenting on the pictures and asking about the list price. It’s a great way to peak interest and spread the word.
