Coldwell Banker is also the first to offer dynamic IP lookup on the channel; This mean consumers will be served up videos about their specific area.
An important source of information for buyers is still a real estate professional like myself. But every year, the Internet and related new media, like mobile messaging, become more essential to the marketing process. So you want a company that knows how to use the Internet.
One of our first steps is to get your home up on our national website, coldwellbanker.com. It is through this website that your home will be exposed to millions of customers. And once your on our national site, your property will automatically be filtered to other real estate related portals through our listing distribution strategy. The listing will appear on sites such as: Trulia GoogleBase Yahoo! Real Estate Classifieds Century 21 ERA and more These sites combined deliver 127 million visitors and sent 7 million visitors to coldwellbanker.com! You will also be able to find your property on our local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which exposes it to area Brokers, agents and customers. Realtor.com, one of the most visited real estate websites out there today. As well as on our local website, which has: insert # of visitors insert other sites that your local site connects to insert ways in which the site is promoted
You don’t want any potential homebuyers “falling through the cracks.” With the Coldwell Banker Rapid Response system, I can and do respond to buyer inquiries almost immediately. And if I’m not available, the call is automatically routed to a colleague who is.
When you sign on as a Coldwell Banker client, one of the first steps that will take place, after taking pictures of your house, is to immediately upload your property information into our local MLS database, which will expose your listings to all Brokers within our area, coldwellbanker.com, which is one of the most visited real estate Web sites and has an automatic system in place to distribute your listing to other Web sites such as Trulia.com, Yahoo Real Estate, Google Base and others for maximum expose and our local Web site. Additionally, we will install a Coldwell Banker yard sign on your lawn and promote your property through these other events…
The marketing ideas I’ve been sharing with you require that the condition of the property will be comparable or superior to the other properties it will be competing with on the market. The condition of the property can have a dramatic impact on how quickly it sells, and the price you obtain. It is important to see your property through the prospective buyer’s eyes. We have to ask ourselves how the typical buyer will view your house. Their tastes might not always match yours. You’ll find that a small investment in time and money that you make now for improvements can more than pay for itself in stronger offers from buyers. Instructions: Once you have discussed the importance of property enhancement, move on to the ongoing tactics you will use to keep generating new interest in the property. Clearly explain each tactic and why it is important. If you hold open houses locally, add an additional slide in order to talk about it as a marketing activity.
Selling a home can be a complex process, especially if you want to do it right.
This isn’t a process that most people want to go through alone. So you want a partner in the process who you have confidence in – someone with the experience, knowledge and advanced resources to ensure that every step is carried out as well as possible. That way, you can focus on everything else that comes with selling a property and moving with as little stress as possible.
Mr & Mrs Seller I have a list here of typical Seller’s concerns. Will you please share with me what is most important to you in the sale of your home?
Home Buyers engage in comparison shopping. They will not pay more for a property than they could pay for another, similar one. To provide you a big picture overview of properties that are comparable to yours, we will take a look at the following type of information: Currently for sale – Shows properties competing for the buyers’ attention right now. Did not sell – Demonstrates what the buyers have not been willing to pay under current market conditions. Recently sold market data – Reveals what buyers have actually paid for similar properties.
In a challenging market, setting the right price is more important than ever. And that’s another reason to select an agent with the expertise you can really trust. You and I both want the best price for your home. But the more a property is priced above its realistic market value, the less interest it will attract – and the longer it will take to sell You want your home to hit the market as a hot property. When it’s priced right and ready to show opens your home to a great number of potential buyers, which equals more buyers will be interested when it first comes on the market. Since mortgages are based on fair market value, not the sale price, more buyers will be able to consider your property when it is priced competitively. If a property fails to appraise at fair market value, it will either force the buyer to make up the difference in cash or cause the sale to fall through.
