What Kind of Home Marketing Should Sellers Expect?
Home sellers have a full array of options available to them when they list their home for sale.
They can pay a minimal fee to have their home listed on the Multiple Listing Service, and do the rest themselves. Or they can pay about 6 percent of the sale price to a full service broker who handles "ALL" aspects of the marketing and sale of the home.
In other words, "You Get What You Pay For", or you should.
Here's what you should expect if you opt for our full service brokerage.
Before you even list your home for sale, we will provide you with a marketing proposal and comparative market analysis. Our marketing proposal will explain in detail what we will do to bring about the successful sale of your property.
Ask to see samples of our advertisements, brochure and flyers we provide?

More and more buyers are using the Internet to help them find a home to buy, approximately 75 percent of home buyers start their home search on the Internet. So we make commitment to advertising your listings on the Internet (We post your listing on 6 different websites). In addition, we make sure that photos of your home will be included (6 to 18 Photo's).
The comparative market analysis will give you information about recent sales in the neighborhood of homes similar to yours. We also provide information about homes like yours that are currently being offered for sale. This information is useful in selecting an appropriate list price for your home.
We also assist you in preparing your home for sale. We will walk with you through your home and point out the most cost effective improvements you can make in order to maximize your profit from the sale.
We have great resources for recommendations of the various trades people you might need to contact in order to get your house ready to market—painters, staging decorators, handymen, contractors, landscapers, etc. We can also recommend which inspections you should order before your home is listed for sale, and give you names of inspectors to call.
Once you're on the market, we will represent you in interactions with other agents, prospective buyers, lenders, inspectors, title people and other interested parties.
Home Seller Tip: The key to a winning working relationship is open communication and good rapport. A full service agent should keep you well informed about the marketing activities that are performed on your behalf. This would include such things as reporting to you about how agents responded to your house after the broker's open house. Also, your agent should update you after public open houses, follow up on showings and let you know how buyers are reacting to your home. This gives you valuable information about the effectiveness of your marketing plan.
