We let our clients do the talking.

Stine is a go getter and not afraid to take on any challenge. She leverages her time to get as much done as quickly as possible. Her attitude is upbeat, and her confidence is contagious. She managed to pull off a major clean out and touch up of our large property resulting in its listing prior to the target date, after which she worked tirelessly booking tours and making sure all the paperwork was in order. Stine is dedicated, caring, supportive and knowledgeable and her role was pivotal in our successful sale. My husband and I highly recommend her as a realtor and are thankful for her diligence and great communication, which enabled us to feel that we were in very capable hands.

SELLER

Stine was our agent helping us sell our house. We’ve had an incredible experience with her - Stine is a knowledgeable, experienced, and very ahead thinking seller agent who truly goes all out for impact and works very hard. Stine also has a terrific personality, and we really enjoyed working with her. Very highly recommended!

SELLER

While trying to navigate the sale of our house and the purchase of one elsewhere, Jennifer and Andrew offered us options that made things much easier for us. By following up with interested parties before the house went on the market, they were able to get us the price we wanted without going through the hassle of updating the interior and staging it. That was a huge benefit to both of us! Not only do they make a great team, but they're super nice people! Having someone who listens and works with you is awesome!

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.

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.

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