We let our clients do the talking.

Jennifer & Andrew have been great to work with - personally and professionally - in both the sale of our old house and purchase of our new one. Without getting into detail, our situation was quite complex on the purchase side - so much so that my wife and I agreed that it required more expertise than could be fairly expected of any typical realtor or broker. The Oldhams provided that expertise for us, and we've already referred another couple to them. 5 stars!

BUYER AND SELLER

Jennifer and Andrew were wonderful to work with, starting with pricing and sales strategy right up to negotiations and closing. Highly recommended. They both are seasoned professionals able to manage the entire sales process, and having a lawyer on the team provides additional clarity for occasional complexities.

SELLER

Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations. They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and were never just here to sell us any house. When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top. We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.

BUYER AND SELLER

Marketing your home

At The Oldham Group, we put an emphasis on modern marketing, taking a multi-pronged approach to the digital promotion of your property. This starts with a professional property website to properly showcase your home to interested buyers online.

The frst thing we do before marketing is Identify the buyer persona. For example, a Silicon Valley engineer with a net worth of $3M who likes mountain biking and comic-con. Then, we create marketing that will attract that buyer persona to your lising.

Enhanced Targeting allows us to target consumers based on the sites they visit and the apps installed on their phone. By narrowing down to profession-specifc sites and apps, we can effectively target any profession or interest you can imagine.

The property website includes photos, videos, virtual tours, listing details and has the ability to submit contact information as an interested buyer.

LEAD GENERATION LABS ADVERTISING

2701 Witheridge Road

We run website traffc ads through Facebook and Instagram to drive visitors to the page. These ads are live for the duration of the listing and are updated with status changes such as “Coming Soon,” “Just Listed,” and “Price Reduction.

We also target the listing area through email campaigns. These emails are sent for each status change on your listing and are full of information for potential buyers. When sending these emails, we create a list of potential leads in the area through a mix of home buyers in our team database as well as local homeowner leads from a third party real estate farming tool.

GOOGLE ADS

To top off our digital listing campaign, we create and publish Google Display and Search advertisements. Very similar to the social media ads, these content pieces are posted for status changes. They drive traffc to the property website as all of the digital.

Trade-In Program

How it works?

1. Get a guaranteed offer

Our partners will work with us to make an offer on your current home - and guarantee it. That's the price they'll pay you for your current home as soon as you're ready to move into your new home.

2. Make a strong offer on your new home

When you've found the home of your dreams, you'll be ready to make an offer with no lending or home sale contingency. This means you're more likely to close and can do so on your own timeline.

3. Move in on your schedule

Once your offer is accepted, everything comes together in days, not months. Our partner buys your home at the guaranteed price so you get the cash to close on your dream home and control when you move.

4. Get full market value when we sell your home

We list your past home. If your home sells for more than our partner paid for it, they give you the additional cash minus selling costs and program fees.

Buy Before You Sell

How it works?

1. Get a Guaranteed Offer Price

You’ll get a guaranteed offer price for your home, so you can move forward with confidence. Unlike trade-in, our partners only purchase the departing residence if necessary, rather than upfront. If your home hasn’t sold within 90 days after the closing on your new home, our partner will step in and purchase it for the guaranteed offer price. Now you can secure a loan for your new home without any home sale contingency because you’ll have a guaranteed offer from our partner

2. Make a strong offer on your new home

When you’ve found the home of your dreams, you’ll be ready to make an offer with no home sale contingency. This means you’re more likely to close and can do so on your own timeline. Want to tap into the equity you have in your current home? Our partner can provide a down payment loan on your new home.

3. Move in on your schedule

Once your offer is accepted, everything comes together in days, not months. You can move into your new home immediately upon closing. Worried about covering two mortgages? Our partner can advance funds to cover the mortgage payments on your old home until it sells at no added cost.

4. Get full market value when you sell your home

We will list your prior home within 10 days of closing on your new home. If the home doesn’t go under contract within 90 days after the closing on your new home, our partner will purchase your home for the guaranteed offer price. We then work with our partner to re-list the home. If your home sells for more than the guaranteed offer price, you’ll receive the additional cash after program fees and costs.

3. Our partner writes you a competitive cash offer

4.You accept and receive cash for your home!

You control the timeline and move when you’re ready. Your house is sold and cash is in your hand, often in as little as 10 days.

01

Let’s Talk

Meet with your Compass agent to discuss your plans and goals, trends in the current marketplace, and assess your property’s qualities and characteristics. Your Compass agent will analyze comparable property sales, assess the competition, work with you to determine pricing strategy, and outline a strategic plan to achieve the best possible result for you as a seller.

02 Setting the Stage

From applying a fresh coat of paint to rearranging furniture, your Compass agent will ensure that the property is visually ready for showing. Your agent will schedule a professional photo shoot, commission an illustrative floor plan, and prepare a listing description. At this time, you should also sit down with your agent and complete the Seller Disclosure documents that will be necessary for the transaction.

03 Going Live

The listing is broadcast on Compass.com and sent across our 100+ partner sites for the duration of the selling process.

04 Spreading the Word

The Compass marketing team produces beautiful print collateral to strategically showcase your property. Your agent develops and executes an intelligent, effective paid marketing plan in relevant publications. Eye-catching property signs are produced and placed outside your property.

05 Making Connections

Your agent continuously leverages professional contacts and the Compass Network Tool to find ideal buyer brokers. Open houses are hosted for both brokers and clients on an ongoing basis.

06 Building a Strategy

Your agent conducts an assessment of the market response within the first 30 days of your listing going live. Feedback from agents and buyers is aggregated, and the listing strategy revised if needed.

07 Communication

You and your Compass agent will establish the best method and frequency of communicating as the process unfolds. Your agent will provide you with regular feedback and will keep you updated with continuous traffic metrics and information from the market.

09

Escrow

Once a contract has been agreed to and signed by all parties, an escrow will be opened and the buyer’s contingency period will begin. Timelines for the completion of buyer and seller responsibilities will be listed in the purchase contract and adhered to in the escrow. Your Compass agent will keep a close eye on the timelines and ensure that you are in compliance with your responsibilities, while also holding the buyer’s side to task to keep the process moving. 10

08

Negotiations

Once we receive an offer, your agent will contact you to review the terms of the offer and analyze the pros and cons. Together you will decide how to respond to the buyer in one of several ways: by accepting the offer, rejecting the offer, or making a counter offer.

Closing

Your Compass agent will monitor and coordinate all the details necessary to get you to the finish line. Once the buyer has performed their inspections, removed their contingencies, and the loan (if any) is ready to fund, your agent will arrange the final walk-through. At or near this time the escrow will close, payment will be made, and the keys will be handed over to the buyer.
