Marketing Your Home Successfuly
Strong market presence and exposure to qualified buyers and their representatives are key elements in securing the best value when selling your home. Our professional, multi- pronged approach is specially designed to showcase your home to the people most qualified and likely to purchase it. Here's how:
Other Brokers
Our agents and brokers are well connected in the real estate community and use this network of contacts to ensure other brokers are aware of your property and motivated to show it to their clients. We accomplish this by offering incentives to show the property over its potential competition, and by following up with agents after each showing. We also make it easy for other top agents to get to know your property by emailing them a virtual tour of the home, and allowing them to schedule showings through eShowings' toll- free number.
Multiple Listing Service
Up to 80 percent of buyers look to the internet when they begin educating themselves about the local real estate market and looking for their dream home. Listing your home with us instantly exposes your home to thousands of real estate professionals and their clients through the Multiple Listing Service. That’s like having over 19,000 realtors working directly for you – a powerful resource! Your MLS listing includes a variety of details that will help agents match their buyers to your house, a complete description and at least eight photos highlighting the property and a link to a virtual tour – all designed to attract buyers to your home. Listing your home on the MLS automatically feeds it to Realtor.com – the #1 searched real estate website by home buyers. We will couple your property's MLS presence with information displayed on our company and agent websites, along with specialized services such as virtual tours, agent and prospective buyer email notifications, strategic website linking and informational CDs.
Web-Based Affiliates
Effective website linking will help buyers find information about your home. We utilize the power of several popular real-estate websites to generate interest and showings in your listings.
Realtor.com is the #1 real estate website, and we upgrade all listings on Realtor.com to Showcased Homes with extended descriptions, rolling banners, additional pictures and virtual tours.
TampaHomes24-7.com is our custom designed website, which ranks #1 across major search engines for top real estate search terms and receives thousands of views per months. As one of our Featured Listings your home will be exposed to thousand of buyers looking for a home in the Tampa Bay area.
TheTampaAuthority.com is a professionally designed upscale website with full-featured listing pages including up to eight photographs, a virtual tour, printed flyers and a mortgage calculator.
FindAHomeInTampa.com is a state-of-the-art lead generation website that captures hundreds of buyer leads each month.
Property Information Brochures & Print Advertising
The internet has changed the way real estate is marketed, but it would be foolhardy to ignore more traditional marketing tools that have long histories of proven success. Our selling plan incorporates the use of printed and electronic property information brochures and feature sheets. These are emailed to the area's top real estate professionals, and to prospective local and out-of-town buyers. The brochures are also available at the property to showcase the home's best features to buyers attending showings or open houses. We also believe in the power of print advertising, and will feature your home in our monthly magazine ads and on 'Just Listed' postcards mailed to community and neighbors.
