We create modern real estate marketing to sell your home or condo for the Highest Price, Best Deal & Shortest Time!
The decision to sell your home is one of the most important financial decisions you will make, yet many give little thought to finding the real estate agent best suited to create quality marketing to attract buyers with the highest and best offer.
92% of home buyers start their home search online. 65% of internet home buyers drove by or viewed a home they saw online. 44% of buyers first found their home they purchased on the internet (National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)).
Our marketing creates many online “touch-points” to attract today’s consumers looking to buy a home in the North Bay Area
Here is how we do it...
Professional Photography
It all starts with high quality real estate photos. We take over 100 high quality photos with a wide angle lens and use High Dynamic Range (HDR) software, color balancing and geometry correction techniques to create magazine quality photos of your home. These quality photos are not only used in our MLS but used throughout our marketing and also gets syndicated to many real estate searchable websites like REALTOR.com, Tulia, Zillow and others. (use arrow keys to tab through examples).
Property 2 Sided Color Brochure
We always include a brochure that gets posted in a box on the yard sign or is handed out to consumers at an open house. We also pass these out to other agents that have buyers looking for a home to buy. We feature our high quality photography, information and details about the property, the price, and we also include the link to the property website.
Our MLS
Good photography is probably the most important step in the process. Our MLS allows for up to 50 photos. Most buyers start their search online and they use the photos to decide which homes to see and which homes to skip. The photos uploaded to the MLS also gets syndicated to other real estate searchable websites like REALTOR.com, Zillow and Trulia. We in addition to uploading your interior and exterior photos, we can also upload aerial (drone) photos and floor plans if available. The unbranded virtual tour or any documents/reports can be uploaded as well.
Property Website
We create a property website with your home address as the URL. The website is “responsive” and can be viewed on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone that includes our high quality photos, description, details, price, map to the property, and our contact info. The web address is include in all our marketing and we include a property website rider under the for sale sign for passers-by. Here are some recent property websites: 2116sweetwater.com or 240eastostreet.com.
Property Email Blast
We promote an open house weekend with a property flyer email blast to 10,000-12,000 real estate agents around the bay area. Email goes out a day or two before the first open house date with a big banner across the top of the flyer. Typically we get 1,000 to 2,000 agents opening the flyer in their inbox. You never know where a buyer will come from.
Property Address Rider
We provide a rider that sits under the for sale sign that includes the website address. Passers-by can jot down the website address and view the photos/info in the comfort of their home or office. We’ve had potential buyers find our properties with this kind of marketing.
Virtual Tour
We create a beautiful Virtual Tour of your home. The branded version is used in all our marketing and is included as a tour link on the property listing in Zillow, Trulia and REALTOR.com. The unbranded version gets uploaded to our MLS so buyer’s agents can forward it to their clients. The virtual tour also includes property information and details, a map to the property, a link to the property website and a link to download the brochure.
YouTube Video
Here is a recent YouTube video created in house with drone footage and put to music. You can view more videos at our YouTube channel (see below).

Facebook Open House Advertising

We target a 25-30 mile radius of the home's address and use Facebook's data analytics to target people "likely to move", "follow Zillow, Trulia, REALTOR. com" and "other" real estate Facebook criteria to reach potential home buyers. As seen in the examples below we can expect 400 -800 post engagements clicking through to the property website we create for the home for sale.

We literally pay for the property website link to show up on the first page of search results - many times in the first position. In the example below we were able to get an additional 1,148 eyeballs on your home for sale and had 90 consumers click thru to the property website. You never know where a buyer will come from.
