My Marketing Includes…
Naturally, when you are ready to sell your home, you want someone to market it whose marketing will cause people not only to notice that it is on the market, but also will cause people to be aware of what your home has to offer them.
Quality photos are a central ingredient. I capitalize on effective use of photos in the following ways:
- Virtual Tour. I provide a virtual tour of each property that I market. That virtual tour is linked to MANY on-line sites! It is linked to the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Association of Realtors Multi-List Service, and to Realtor.com. It is also displayed on my website, JohnRiceHomes.com, and my website is listed on my sign riders. That means that if someone drives past your home, it is easy for them to write down my website, go to it, and view the virtual tour of your house.
- Pictures in Multi-list. The current maximum number of pictures in the MLS is 20. I like to use as many pictures there as possible!
- Photos in Realtor.com. Because I subscribe to what Realtor.com calls “The Enhanced Listing Package”, I can have up to 25 photos, as well as additional headlines, textual description and information included with your listing in Realtor.com.
Buyers have repeatedly told me that if they are searching for a house on-line, and a particular property only has one or two photos, they skip it and move on to the next property. Having your house well represented with a virtual tour and multiple photos is important!
Broad Internet Exposure is vital! Prudential Alliance Realty listings are automatically placed on approximately 150 realty web sites!
I design a multi-photo flyer to be placed in each property for Buyers to pick-up when they view the house. This gives potential buyers a way to remember your house and what they like about it. Often when I show other Realtors’ listings, my buyer has only the exterior photo of the house.
I do many open houses each year. There are some houses for which open houses are not practical because of location or condition. Some sellers do not want the interruption of their routines that open houses necessitate.
