MARKETING STRATEGIES UTILIZED TO GET YOU THE BEST PRICE
Professional Wide-angle Photography
According to data from the National Association of Realtors, 89 percent of buyers
use online tools in their home searches. “A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words”.
Your first home showing is online, so your home has to win the beauty contest.
Great photographs are probably the single most important piece of any online
listing. Wide-angle Lense Photography of your home is important to make the right
first impression.. It is imperative that your home shows better than others The wide angle lens gives a better view of your rooms (like they would see in person).
All my listings get interior & exterior pictures taken with a wide-angle lenseprofessional camera producing “magazine quality” pictures which showcase your home in the best way possible. Your home needs to win the beauty contest compared to the other homes on the market! The first showing of your home is online, it is imperative that your home shows better than others!

High Quality Sharp Photos
Overall, when viewing an online real-estate listing, home buyers spend
about 60% of their time on photos, 20% on the property description and
20% on the real-estate agents' remarks section. Therefore – the
pictures are the most important.
The likelihood of your home selling at or above list price is 31% higher
when you use professionally taken photos. For sale is not a destination,
sold is. Sharp photos put SOLD signs in front yards.
Video Marketing
A professional video of your home will be taken as a buyer would see your home
when walking thru is the latest tool in real estate home marketing. Buyers are
attracted to video and are much more likely to view the video as opposed to
scroll through screens of pictures of your home. Also, when a buyer calls to see
your home after seeing the video, they are already “pre-sold” and are more likely
to be a qualified buyer for your home. The video will include music and great
photography highlighting your home’s best features. Video really allows
homebuyers to create that emotional connection.
The video will be also promoted on all online sites, Facebook, and Blog posts.

Video Marketing of your Home Online
Ain addition to YouTube, your home’s video will be also promoted on all
online sites (Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, etc),the MLS, Facebook,
Google+, Blog posts, and your home’s unique website.
Interested homebuyers can preview your home online and are often
already “pre-sold” before arranging a showing for your home. The
video gives you a virtual 24x7 Online “Open House” everyday for buyers
to see your home!
A dedicated website for our home will allow your video, pictures, description,
and tons of other info to be showcased in one place. Your home should have its
own web address (URL) which buyers can use to search for your home directly
on the internet, i.e. http://123YourAddress.com.
These advanced marketing and home presentation strategies will bring more
buyers in the door and, as a result, a higher sales price. It is imperative that
these are incorporated into a professional home marketing plan.

Social Media Marketing
To expand the reach of your home marketing, I utliize social media sites like
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Paid social media promotion is
a important element of a successful marketing plan. Facebook is
approaching Google as having the highest internet traffic.
Sample promotions include:
- Facebook Fan Page and Realtor Group promotion
Facebook “Promoted Posts” of your home’s listing and Video to targeted
home buyers
- “Just Listed” Anouncement on agent’s Blog, Fan Page, and LinkedIn
- Posts to community SunNews webpages
- Twitter tweet of new listing
- Instagram photos shared on the web
Social proof and sharing by local homeowners and buyers creates a “BUZZ”
around your new listing and home video and can be a magnet to potential
buyers.

Mobile/Smartphone Marketing
Your home’s visual presentation on mobile is more important than ever.
Sellers need to make sure their listing looks great on a smartphone. Photos
will be taken with a high-resolution camera, because that’s what looks best
on mobile. Zillow reported that in January, nearly 600 million homes were
viewed on Zillow’s mobile app. That’s 223 homes per second.
Recently Realtor.com predicted that mobile search is most likely going to
surpass traditional online search for volume of buyer searches in the
coming year. It is imperative that a seller make sure their home is marketed
effectively to mobile users to increase your likelihood of a sale!
Mobile marketing on Realtor.com, REMAX.com, Zillow, Trulia, & more with
instant home buyer access to me via their smartphone to schedule
showings and see pictures. This allows all smartphone and tablet home
shoppers to have “anywhere” access to your home’s listing and to easily
arrange a showing.
