Still photos are used to showcase those unique rooms and features that can’t be captured with panoramic photo. Listing data such as number of bedrooms, baths, and unique features are just a few of the many details included in the presentation. Listings with virtual tours get clicked more than listings without a virtual tour. More clicks mean more potential buyers for your home. Virtual tours are linked to all marketing on the web

Many times neighbors have friends or family that may be looking for a home in their neighborhood and are a good source for potential buyers.

Showings – We personally show your home to qualified Buyers who are unaccompanied by another real estate agent. An appointment is made with you first; we open and prepare your home for showings, accompany the Buyers through the home highlighting its unique features and then secure the home and pets after the viewing. We will also schedule appointments with you for other real estate agents wanting to show your home to their Buyer clients. We will follow up with you on client and realtor feedback from all showings of your home.

Organized Open Houses – We will hold open houses for your home when it is convenient with you and your schedule. When possible, we coordinate open houses with other Realtors who have homes for sale in your neighborhood to increase turnout and broaden your property’s exposure.
