First, let me say that things have definitely changed in the Real Estate Market. The Internet is a key player in real estate sales. Buyers look to the Internet first when shopping for a home. So getting your home in front of an Internet audience is crucial. Newspaper advertising has taken a back seat to other forms of marketing. In fact, less than 6% of buyers find their home in the newspaper.
For more information on Why You should hire a Professional, please click on the graphic above to be taken to an overview of what I WILL do for you !
I am a full time agent. I have 5+ websites operating at all times. I have a 24 hour call system in place for you and a potential buyer. I have experience with tax-deferred exchange. I talk to over 25 people in a week. Over 100 in a month. I am working with 10 + buyers right now. I have had 0 listings expire . My listings sell within the first 6 months.
My Comprehensive Marketing Plan Starts With :
- I provide you with 60 tips on Home Staging to raise the bar high against the competition.
- I offer a One Year Paid in Full at closing Home Warranty to the Buyer...at NO Cost to You !
- A Comparative Market Analysis of your home.
Setting the Price on Your Home :
- Location - Your homes setting and location influences it's value.
- Condition - Our goal is to make your home as close to a model home as possible. Like builders would enhance their appeal with their model home. We too can increase your marketing time by being sure that your property is in the best possible condition.
- Pricing - Your property has to be sold twice. Once to the buyer and once to the appraiser. I will use my experience to fine tune the price of your home by taking into consideration both of these variables.
Pricing Your Home Fairly :
We will take into careful consideration :
- Recent Home Sales
- Pending Sales
- Current listings
- Square Footage
- Age
- Number of Rooms
- Number of Bathrooms
- Condition
- Location
- Amenities
Why you should price your home realistically :
- Time - Chances are that your home will sell at it's fair market value.
- Pricing your home realistically at the beginning increases the likelihood of a timely sale.
- Competition - Buyers educate themselves by viewing many homes. If your home is not competitive with what they have seen, your home will not sell.
Internet Advertising :
My unique marketing and advertising system is enhanced to get your home on top of Google and other search engines. My website for example allows me to keep track of all the unique visitors that come to my website looking for their new home.
My extensive marketing and advertising system reaches hundreds of potential buyers and on average 34 potential buyers weekly. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo benefit the sale of your home and capture the most "Hot Prospects". Forms of Internet Advertising I utilize to benefit the sale of your home are :
- Flyers
- Blogs
- Virtual Tours
- Postcards
- Specific sites as named above to market and advertise your home
- Website placement with Featured Enhancements
When a flyer is created for example it is immediately syndicated to several sites. For an example of a Real Estate Flyer please click the link : http://crossvilletnrealestateforsale.vflyer.com/1/index.html 
A flyer just like this will be created for your home and syndicated to the sites you see above....Just to name a few.
Finding buyers for your home contains several conventional and non- conventional methods. As shown above the non-conventional methods utilized often and consistently are through search engines and specific online marketing sites capturing the buyer audience.
On a more non-conventional method : getting your home out to other potential buyers consists of :
- Colored post -cards to Realtors within our area
- Colored Flyers to Realtors within our area
- Open House
- Blog Talk - This is a special feature introduce by our Realtor Association that allows Realtors such as myself to email your home directly to all the agents within our area.

Hi Melissa, I want to personally thank you from both Kim and I on the job well done and how thorough you were throughout the entire evolution.

It was a hard sell and once you got you ensured that all the paperwork was correct and made the closing easy. I would and I will recommend you to anyone that I know to get the job done. YOU ROCK!! Have a great weekend, Sincerely
Timothy F. Tria US Navy Retired

Nice ad. Alot of good info for the consumer
Melissa, I thought the entire presentation was EXCELLENT, especially new areas like blogging. I also liked your heavy emphasis on Internet Marketing. The only caution I would give you is don't overwhelm them with too much information or your one hour presentation might stretch to three hours and they will suffer information overload. Just show them you ARE that good but keep it tight and concise. Above all, ask many questions before the "tell" part.
Melissa - This is a testimony of excellence. I would hire you. Great job.
Melissa,
Well thought out presentation of why clients should list w/you. I've done something similar which is a "ringer" in listing presentations! Keep up the great work.
These types of posts have been invaluable for my clients to see the kind of presence I have and it is clear you have the same vision.
Melissa: You did a FABULOUS job on this! You always have been instrumental in raising the bar but, you've really done it with this! EXCELLENT presentation!
Melissa, You're a true expert in your field AND in your area. I'd hire or refer you in a heartbeat!
Melissa - anyone who works this hard on a listing presentation must also work hard on the listing - great presentation.
Melissa, great job in explaining your value to the seller. You've presented a wealth of information to inform sellers and to help them make the decision of choosing the right REALTOR.
Great post....bottom line, it's back to the basics!
Melissa, good job, very comprehensive.
Hi Melissa,
You are a good role model for new Realtors. I will be reading your posts and think we will all learn a lot from you. This is one area that I know I have to work on. Thanks for your examples.
OK, where do I sign?
If I were selling a home in your area, you would be my agent!
Your friend in Charlottesville Virginia!
Melissa, I'm very proud of you! I hope this week gives you a chance to catch your breath, and maybe have a little fun too :). Liz Team Tex-La
Melissa, come list my home!
Wow Melissa that was a very well put together post...must have taken you quite a while...you did a great job...I noticed that you just got a beautiful lot listing...did this post help you find that customer? Keep up the great work.
Kristi - No, the new lot did not come from my listing presentation. I obtained a bunch of them last week. However, the lead did come through a localism post that I wrote on the History of my area. Localism DOES work, it takes a little while to get yourself out there but once you start the listings and the buyers will come !
MELISSA - This is very impressive. You provided some great answers that potential sellers may have without them having to even ask the question. Nice job!
WoW, Melissa! How could anyone not list with you......you're light years ahead of agents everywhere when it comes to being on top of the things that will get a property sold and for top dollar. Very impressive.
Jo
Melissa, Very impressive and comprehensive. Do you send this to listing prospects via internet or present it in person? I've been wondering if it's better to send something like this BEFORE I meet with someone, so that if when they do hire me, it's as simple as completing the paperwork and launching the listing. Please advise as to how you communicate your presentation...
LaShawn - A Pre-listing presentation such as this is always sent to any potential client prior to our face to face meeting. It usually stops right up front them interviewing with any other Agent besides me. Just a few weeks ago I had a seller tell me they were interviewing one other Agent. Ok, no problem. In the end I got the listing. They reported to me that they wanted me to sell the home hands down because the other Agent did not provide them with half the information I did and they simply loved " What I could do for them". My approach has got me 17 listings in 3 weeks ! If you have any questions don't hesitate to call or email me.
The most informative post I've seen in awhile. Thank you for sharing! Looks like you're raising the bar on what clients should expect. Good for you!
I enjoyed reading it Melissa! You rock.
Very nice presentation. Thanks for sharing it with the group. I'm sure it's very effective.
You have done a nice job on your pre-listing presentation. The best part is, if you have the customer's email address, you can email it to them. Keep up the good work, you have some great localism posts!
Lissa, If I were listing my house I would be calling you! No doubt about it! You've got what it takes all the way around! Great job again this week! Later in the rain~Deb
