Our Marketing Strategy

I will work for you every step of the way! My combination of skill, experience, and technology ensures that I can sell your home for the highest possible price and in the shortest period of time. I have the tools to meet the demands of a highly competitive, modern market.

24/7 Online Presence

My online marketing system allows me to make information accessible 24-hours a day, and to respond immediately and directly to each and every prospective buyer. From my website, prospective buyers can get information immediately about your home. Through my Personal Home Search, your listing will be sent by e-mail to every prospective buyer in my database, where your home meets their criteria.

Traditional Marketing

As soon as you list your home with me, I will enter your home in the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) database. Other agents can immediately access your property information by computer. Plus, your property will be included in any printed MLS® books. I also regularly publish in magazines and newspapers in the area and send out direct mail pieces to potential buyers.

Pricing Your Home

When you think about it, there are several other homes for sale competing with your home. I will help you price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers. The way I do this is by generating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report, which will show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your area.
