Pre-Listing Presentation
VENDOR MANAGEMENT
Throughout the process of selling your home, we want you to keep living your life. Taking time off work or rearranging your schedule to accommodate a stream of vendors who will work to get your home market-ready is the last thing we want you worrying about. With your permission, we’ll gladly take on the role of coordinating projects, start and completion dates, overseeing work on-site and ensuring tasks are performed to the highest standards.
STAGING
As part of our initial consultation, a well considered plan for staging your home will help prospective buyers love it for all the right reasons. We how to make your property shine. Investing in great staging can significantly drive up your sales price.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The importance of great pictures cannot be overestimated. When photography is done well, it conveys value, sets a desirable tone for your home and compels discerning buyers to come see the space for themselves. Our skilled professional photographers know how to bring your home to life while making a great first impression on buyers in order to drive interest and demand.
VIDEOGRAPHY
We provide a professional video for each property that includes a narrated walk through video for social media channels and a non-branded video tour for the MLS per their restrictions.
Staging
Every effort to prepare your home for the market is designed to excite buyers and generate the highest possible price for your home. With this in mind, experience and statistics tell us that professionally staging your home is a must. Today’s buyer uses online search engines to quickly scroll through listings and photos for the places that catch their eye. The reality is, if your home doesn’t look amazing on a shopper’s screen, it may be passed over. The numbers are clear: Homes with staging spend 78%* less time on the market.
And if the upfront cost seems steep, consider this: Well- staged properties typically earn back nearly twenty dollars for every one dollar invested. It’s the first and most important step you can take to ensure your listing gets the attention it deserves.
Photography | Videography
Great pictures and video should sell your home before a buyer ever steps foot in the door. We utilize a team of artistic and professional real estate photographers and videographers.
If the photos and video don’t make an impact from the moment your listing is featured online, we likely won’t get a second chance. From staging to photos to video, it’s all about helping your property stand out as something special.
How Buyers Are Finding Homes
Syndication
No matter how stylish, easy to use and full of information a website is, the average real estate brokerage doesn’t get 5 million visitors a month. This is why millions of website visits are amassed on national portals and search engines, such as the ones listed below. By syndicating your listings to show as they appear on those channels, your listings will get exposure to those consumers.

Pricing Your Property
YOUR PROPERTY IS UNIQUE
While it may be one of the first things you’ll want to talk about, the final decision about where to price your home will ultimately become clearer after we’ve done the work to make it market-ready.
Yes, the comparable sales figures for other homes in the area are a factor, but they might not be everything.
Will look at all the variables, the location, the features, and the demand. But your property is unique and will work with you to set a price that:
- Considers the best features of your home, as well as realistic drawbacks
- Gauges recent sales of comparable properties in your neighborhood
- Analyzes and reflects the price range that will attract the most qualified buyers
- Establishes your property’s fair market value in relation to current conditions
It is important to price your property correctly as it comes to market. Overpricing can pose significant challenges. If the reduction is later required, it can send a negative signal to buyers, even if the home is everything they are seeking. When the circumstances warrant, we may consider an off-market. To test pricing which allows us to go public with a price we know will drive maximum interest.

For Sellers
Listing Storyboard
Bring your home to life with a listing storyboard that shares a video of your home and an interview with you (not on camera unless you specify) about why you fell in love with your property, where you love to eat, shop, etc…
Coming soon
Sometimes you are not quite ready to get your home on the market. Our coming soon program alerts potential purchasers as well as buyer agents – that your home will soon be listed. Potential purchasers register for information so that we can alert them as soon as your home is live!
Certified Pre-owned homes
In old-fashioned real estate, homes go under contract, then most often a re-negotiation happens at the time of inspection, and often again when the home is appraised by the purchaser. CPO puts sellers back in the driver’s seat with full knowledge of the property they are selling and in a better place to make more money while selling faster
Walking Tour Video
Walking tour videos bring your listing to life, exploring the neighborhood you live in as well as the key features of your property. This sets your property apart from all the other listings that prospective purchasers are viewing – often from another state. Imagine the different experiences they’re getting.
Selling Land
We are delighted to list your lots and bare land, and support them with a booster marketing package. No more picture of a tree and a sign!
Social Media
In ‘old fashioned’ real estate sales, a sign in the yard was enough. Today, more and more people are joining the online social world every day – people of all ages and demographics, reading/watching / listening to the news, updates on their family and friends, and generally participating in more and more of their daily interactions online. Our engagement strategy, customized to your property, allows you to connect with your buyers – wherever they are.
Memories Video
A memories video is similar to a walking tour video – the only difference is that we capture your memories in your home. Perhaps your children were born, graduated, or got married in your home. Perhaps you built it. Whatever the reason, most homes carry memories, and we understand it’s those you are connected to much more than the ‘bricks and mortar’. You don’t have to be in front of the camera – it’s up to you. Just walk around with us and share your memories, so that you have it captured to share with yourselves, friends and family.
Retirement Communities
Retirement communities are present all areas of the country. There is a sometimes confusing array of terms depending on the area, ranging from 55+, Age-Qualified Community, Active-Adult Community, Master- Planned Community, Gated Community, Golf Community, Manufactured Home Community, Assisted Living Community. We will provide you with a customized search that identifies the local terms for retirement communities as well as homes available within those communities. When you are ready to ‘right-size’, let us find your dream home.
Estate Planning
We have teamed with the finest financial planners and estate planning attorneys to make sure that when you are facing such difficult decisions, you have the facts to make responsible plans to provide for you and your loved ones. Our real estate service is especially helpful in situations where a group of siblings has inherited a home.
