Why Homes Sell! Imagine a couple buying a home on the Peninsula. They reviewed all current properties in their price range in the area they love, but because the ma rk e t in g p re s e n t at i o n w a s uninspired they didn’t want to see the perfect home. It happens all the time because of a wrong & possibly poor quality photograph backed-up by

poorly written text. We believe in an INSPIRED presentation t h a t breathes life into a home, creating

O F

a buzz of interest. Many times within two to three weeks of a new listing we have more showings than the prior listing had in six months. Marketing

A R T

excellence is the difference. John has more than 30 years experience in marketing, creative writing, advertising & photography. His negotiating skills create successful closings. Contact
