HOME MARKETING SYSTEM
“In my experience, in the real-estate business past success stories are generally not applicable to new situations. We must continually reinvent ourselves, responding to changing times with innovative new business models”. ~ Akira Mori
List with Letitia and Let's Get Started on Getting Your House SOLD!
The successful marketing of a property is rarely the result of a single marketing activity. An effective Home Marketing System requires an integrated approach of promoting your home. Both traditional and unconventional marketing methods have a place in selling your home. The key is to focus on options that will generally result in terrific exposure.
Thinking about listing your home for sale? Letitia Stevenson's Integrated Home Marketing System is designed to help your home get terrific exposure and sell at the best possible price, for the most favorable terms, in the shortest period of time and with the least inconvenience to you.
EXPOSURE! EXPOSURE! EXPOSURE!
In marketing your property, maximum exposure is the name of the game. Your marketing plan must reach two key audiences: home buyers and real estate professionals. With 90% of home buyers starting their search online, creating a strong online marketing presence for greater exposure is essential. Next to the real estate professionals, the internet is the leading source of how buyers find the home they purchase.
How Buyers Find the Home They Purchase
People are often surprised to discover that some of the most popular marketing activities like print advertising and open houses are not really the principal ways buyers find their new home. By far, most buyers find out about the homes they buy through two sources: real estate professionals (38%) and the internet (37%).
We go beyond traditional methods of promoting properties. Letitia Stevenson and Prudential Fox & Roach, REALTORS® commitment to online marketing - and strong online presence - places us in hot spots on the Web in front of millions of consumers, offering listings, resources and information prospective buyers want most.
