HOW I DO IT!
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY & STAGING
Property photos are a potential buyers’ first look at your home. Homes using professional photography sell 34% faster. 83% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.*
That is why every home I list is professionally photographed, ensuring a great first impression every time! Premium Photography provides ultra sharp photographs with the most brilliant colors and crystal clear details. If needed, hiring a professional stager can greatly enhance the appeal of your home.
PRINT MARKETING
PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED MARKETING MATERIALS
Printed brochures are a must to set your listing apart in the marketplace. They tell your homes unique story and help prospective buyers remember their visit to your home. I will provide you with a variety of professionally designed and printed marketing materials that will showcase your home and leave a lasting memory with potential buyers.
EMAIL MARKETING
HOMEBUYING IS AN INCREASINGLY DIGITAL PROCESS.
According to National Association of Realtors 2023 report, 96% of home buyers used the internet to search for homes. A strong email marketing strategy is a quick and easy way to reach other real estate professionals and ultimately the buyers they are working with. My email marketing campaign includes Just Listed emails and status update emails to local Realtors.
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
SOCIAL MEDIA IS ABOUT TELLING STORIES THAT TRIGGER ENGAGEMENT.
Social media is where the majority of home buyers spend their time. To market your home, we have to place it where the buyers are spending their screen time. Facebook is the most influential network with over 1.47 billion active users daily. Similarly, with 1 billion users daily YouTube has become an important marketing channel because property videos are now one of the fastest growing search categories. Instagram is the fastest growing social network with 500 million daily active users.
Our Creative Studio has a dedicated Social Media Manager who creates these stories and posts them on all of our social media networks. Every property has a video that is posted on our YouTube channel.

WHY CONSIDER THE PLN?
LET THE MOST EAGER BUYERS KNOW YOUR HOME IS FOR SALE — WITHOUT OFFICIALLY LISTING IT ON THE MARKET!
Unsure about price?
Need more time to get ready?
Waiting for photos?
POST YOUR HOME IN THE MLS PRIVATE NETWORK!
Want early feedback?
Showcase your upcoming listing to all the agents in the MLS before it’s even ready to be officially for sale! What if you could pre-market your home for sale exclusively to other agents while you were still making the final preparations necessary to list your home? The MLS offers this option as a way to market properties that are “coming soon!” With your explicit permission, licensed agents will be able to show your upcoming listing to their most eager clients who are specifically looking in your area and price range.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE MLS PRIVATE NETWORK?
• Get immediate exposure to agents with buyers in your area.
• Test the market! A firm price is not required to be listed in the Private Network, and no one will ever be able to see your original price after its officially listed.
• Take advantage of additional time you need to prepare your home to be “show ready” prior to formally listing it for sale. You don’t even need photos, yet.
• The “Days on Market” will not accrue in the private network.
• Many agents specifically search this database for buyers seeking specific properties or when a buyer has exhausted the currently listed homes that meet their needs.
• Potentially sell your home before it hits the open market, avoiding the extra stress of last minute showings and the anxiety of keeping your home “show ready” all the time.
