Seller Services

 We intend to sell your home for the maximum price in the minimum amount of time. To a certain extent, achieving that goal is a numbers game. We need to create a richly detailed, spectacular listing for your home, and then we need to put it in front of as many potential buyers as we possibly can. Did you know that, as of 2006, more than four out of every five homebuyers used the web to fi nd their new home? In 2007, the percentage increased even further.

The number of buyers who use the internet to find their next home is increasing daily. The traffic to online real estate marketplaces is  skyrocketing.The power of the web is growing. And we have been able to successfully establish ourselves online so that we are able to tap in to this steady stream of real estate shoppers.

Over time, buyers' use of the internet to search for homes has increased, rising from 71% in 2003 to 80% in 2006.  Even more importantly, the share of buyers who reported using the Internet frequently to search for a home has risen from 42% in 2003 to 59% in 2006.  This trend is increasing every year.

The web is now by far the most important advertising medium for real estate, and that’s becoming truer every day. Fortunately, we’ve managed to stay ahead of this trend, and have been continuously working to increase our web presence so that we can push listings to more places very quickly, putting our properties in front of online buyers very effectively.

We subscribe to National Listing Services, and web services that connect real estate professionals with one another along with the most important real estate advertisers on the web. This network allows us to advertise your listing on our website, on many other local real estate websites, and on some of the busiest real estate marketplaces on the internet.

Thanks to these web services, and to our numerous contacts, you will see that we belong to a powerful online network that can make a substantial difference in the exposure your property receives.

The software that we use will allow us to create your listing in such a way that it is more likely to be found in online searches. This is thanks to a few key components.

Neighborhoods – instead of creating listings according to awkward ‘selling areas,’ each of our listings is categorized by its familiar neighborhood name. Why is this important? Simple – buyers don’t type “Area 7B, Charleston, SC” into search engines like Google. Instead, it is estimated that over 60% of all real estate searches have a neighborhood element such as “homes for sale in Ion Village, Mt Pleasant.” Because we’ll categorize your listing accordingly, it will have a better chance of being found via these crucial searches.

Multiple Search Platforms – not only will we help your listing attract attention via “natural search” in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN, we will also place your listing in real estatespecific search sites such as Point2 Homes, Oodle, Trulia and Google Base.

Better Information – because we try to add as many high-quality photographs and as much richly detailed information to your property listing as possible, it will have a signifi cantly better chance of attracting more buyers.

Better listings. What’s the big deal? Well, it’s simple – many independent studies show that better listings with more photos attract more visitors, they keep buyers looking at your home longer, and they generate more quality buyer leads.

More photos. We understand the power of quality photographs, and will include as many photos as possible to help attract attention to your listing.

More information. Buyers want information. That’s only natural – they’re trying to make an informed decision about a major purchase. So instead of withholding information about your property, we deliver as much information as possible. Not only does this make your listing easier to find online, and not only does it help ensure that inquiries about your property are serious ones . . . it can also attract more attention from the buyers who find it.

More personality. No one knows your home better than you do. That’s why, if you’re interested, we are able to set up a special area of your listing where you can add your own comments.You can even log in via your own password and access statistics on the visitors your listing is attracting.

More power. Our listings always include Google mapping with satellite imagery, virtual tours, and many other features to showcase your property at the highest level of professionalism and technological elegance.

Today’s buyers expect lightning-fast responses to their emails and inquiries, they expect regular updates, and they expect an impressive, feature-rich website. Not only is our website designed to attract and engage today’s buyers, it also includes numerous behind-the-scenes software elements that will help us to sell your home.

Our network is set up to enable buyers to register their preferences and receive listings via email. That means that we may already have dozens of waiting buyers who are looking for the type of property you are offering. As soon as we have completed work on your listing, it will be instantly emailed to these matched buyers.

Our website has the ability to send a notification directly to our cell phone as a text message if a prospect is interested in your property and inquiring about it. This means that we are able to respond with incredible speed to important potential buyers.

Our software automatically places potential buyers in a communication program so that we are sure to maintain friendly contact with them, encouraging more repeat visits to our website – and more repeat viewings of your listing.

Not only will your listing get serious advertising on our website and on the websites of all of my network partners . . . we will also push it out all over the web, to the busiest real estate marketplaces online . . .

We’ve researched and subscribed to the most effective real estate technology available. This technology is just one of the important tools that allow us to present your property as effectively as possible, and to have it discovered by as many potential buyers as possible. In modern markets, having a technological edge can make a dramatic impact. We have that edge, and we are looking forward to using it to your advantage.
