Today, we’re focusing on a critical aspect of real estate – the difference between merely listing a home for sale and actively marketing it.
Listing a home involves basic steps like taking pictures and adding the property to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). However, effective marketing is a much more proactive and comprehensive approach. It includes professional photography, videos, virtual walkthroughs, and diverse advertising strategies like postcards, flyers, open houses, door-to-door promotions, and even leveraging TV shows.
An active marketing strategy significantly increases the visibility of a property to thousands of potential buyers. In one instance, our team’s proactive marketing efforts led to a home selling for $55,000 more than expected by engaging with the community and sparking interest among local homeowners.
But our approach isn’t just about the tactics. Drawing from my background in PR and communications with the Navy, I understand the power of storytelling in selling a home. It’s about connecting emotionally with potential buyers by highlighting what makes a home special. This emotional connection is crucial in navigating the various stages of a home sale, including inspections and appraisals.
The results speak for themselves. Our listings not only sell faster than the average but also fetch significantly higher prices. Our approach is a testament to the importance of choosing the right agent – one who understands both the art and science of real estate marketing.
