MARKETING YOUR HOME
Here are some of the key aspects of our marketing system which is designed to give your property maximum exposure to buyers who are looking for homes like yours. This is not an exhaustive list of our marketing activities, but we figured we would bore you if we talked about the things that all REALTORS® do (putting up signs, posting on MLS®, etc.).
1. A Targeted, Multi-level Web Presence
Nowadays, pretty much every REALTOR® has a website; but not every REALTOR® has an INTERNET MARKETING STRATEGY. Our strategy begins with the “hyper-local” and stretches all the way to the global.
This is our general Kelowna area real estate site where we promote all our area real estate listings to buyers from around the world.
2. Professional Photography & Floor Plans
With almost all buyers visiting your home online before they choose whether or not they to visit it in person, a large number of professional photos of your home are a must. Never before has a first impression been so important.
3. Full Spectrum Internet Advertising & Social Media Marketing
With our large-scale internet marketing system, we expose your home to online buyers on sites like Facebook.com, Castanet.net, Craigslist.com, KelownaNow.com & more. We also have pay-per-click property advertising campaigns on Facebook and Google.
4. Unique Property Web Address & Property Web Page
Whether driving by your home or looking for it online, potential buyers will find the info they want quickly and easily by visiting your home’s custom web page via its unique Property Web Address – no frustrating “click-click-click, search, click, click-click-click…” to navigate through an agent’s website to find your home.
5. Open Houses
Some agents will tell you that open houses are not effective in selling homes. There are always buyers who don’t feel comfortable shopping for homes with a REALTOR® and see an open house as a non-threatening way to view a new listing. We’re happy to do open houses for you when your listing is new and after significant price changes.
6. Designer Property Brochures
By sending buyers home with a colourful souvenir of their visit to your property, we ensure that they retain the fond memories of your property, even after they have viewed other homes.
7. Feedback on Showings
We understand that it’s an unsettling feeling to put your property “out there” and have people come and look at it. We find that one of the hardest things for sellers is when they don’t know what buyers really think about their home. We make a significant effort to provide you with honest showing feedback from the buyers and agents who view your home – each time your property is shown. This gives us the opportunity to address aspects of your property that buyers don’t like and it helps us to know how we stand up to the immediate competition in the marketplace.
This is not an exhaustive list of our marketing services but we hope it gives you an idea of how seriously we take the marketing of Kelowna area properties and the many competitive advantages we offer. We would love to meet with you to discuss our services in detail; give us a call any time!
