Old School

While the initial first impression is likely to take place online, we are still huge believers in traditional marketing.

Like every other real estate company, we will put a for sale sign in your yard.  That being said ours are unique. We prominently display the website address we pick just for your property right on the sign.  People today are more likely to forget their wallet before they forget their smartphone and the website allows them to access the photos, video and full MLS information while they are driving by your home. 

And of course, the neighbors will also check out your home as well. We believe the best salesperson for your home can be one of your neighbors. After all, they are great advocates to friends and family they know of your neighborhood. The more people that talk about your home, the faster we can sell it. Neighbor to neighbor marketing is very-very powerful and we take it very seriously – both on and off-line.

There are two types of marketing for real estate - Reactive and proactive.  You're probably very familiar with reactive marketing. It is in the form of the real estate flyer in a box on the sign. This form of marketing is reactive because all the person has to is pick up a flyer (or 10)  from the box. There is no benefit to you as a seller as we have no idea who took the flyer or how to get in touch with them. Of course,  flyers can blow around in the wind and wind up in the neighbor’s lawn and they will know where they came from. That is reactive.

We are firm believers in proactive marketing as it is far superior for the seller.  We have run test after test to create the absolute best proactive marketing campaign for the homes that we sell.  Unlike reactive marketing -  Flyers -  we use technology to put the complete image of your home in front of potential buyers. They can see all the information instantly including the video, photos, and other information important to buyers and they can get it instantly right from their phone.  Think of it as the perfect blend of old school and new school approaches to selling your home versus outdated flyers that end up in your neighbors' tree. 

Buyers won’t have to wait for a call-back. They won’t have to wait for someone to email them the listing. Henry Ford once said that “to be successful, find what people want and give it to them.”  People today want instant answers and that is what we give them. 

Fliers are reactive marketing but we still utilize print marketing when we list your home.  Since our photos are magazine quality, we use the photos to send out stunning just listed postcards to all the neighbors as well as taking full advantage of the 50 photo slots in the MLS.  We also put together one-off high-quality information packs we like to provide the buyer at all showings. This helps to answer detailed questions and further ingrains the images and feel of your home.

It’s just another example of what we do differently.  After all, our obsession is selling your home for a better price in a shorter time.
