You have heard enough of the promises, you simply want results! Selling your home in today's ever changing market calls for a Realtor with new and innovative ideas. It has been proven time and time again that to get maximum exposure for a listing, marketing through the Internet is critical. I truly believe in the power of Internet advertising and how it brings Buyers "out of the woodwork." Statistics show that over 90% of Buyers utilize the Internet to research properties prior to viewing them. It is absolutely essential to bring a property full exposure to a online visual marketplace! Well, many experts predicted it would happen and yes the market has now definitely shifted to more of a Buyer's market! With inventory levels of properties gradually increasing and Buyers taking their time before deciding to purchase a home, the Sellers of today need every edge that they can get!

Here are some creative ways I will advertise your property to online Buyers:

5. Century 21 Kelowna
6. Century 21 Quebec
7. Century 21 Canada
8. Twitter.com

Well, I think you get the point!
These are just some of the many places I will advertise your property online. I do even more to get your property the best possible exposure and decrease the time it takes to sell and let's face it the faster it sells the happier you will be! The thing to remember is that I do more advertising online than most agents...please call and ask other agents what they do for online advertising and you will not likely find even one that does close to as much as I do. You can also expect a weekly update on activity on your home even if there have been no showings. With regular communication like this, you know I am still on the job and have not vanished from sight!
Again, I will market your home prominently on my website at KelownaRealEstateNews.com with 21 professional photos (another industry leading initiative). My personal site was recently recognized in the Top 50 most active real estate websites for traffic within the entire Century 21 Canada system, out of 7500 sites!
I will purchase the domain name for your homes address and have signage created to allow prospective Buyers to link directly to information on your home by simply imputing your homes address into the computer.
I have paid to make certain that I am on the first page of Google whenever anyone searches for "Kelowna Real Estate Agent" or most any combination of those words. With this type of web presence it will give your home even more exposure.
I will hold open houses (or not if you don't like the idea) which will allow prospective Buyers the opportunity to view your home in a stress free manner. I will be available at each open house both to answer questions and to emphasize all the positive aspects of your home.
I will list your home on the MLS Realtors' tour. This gives Realtors from various offices an opportunity to view your home first hand so they can better describe what your home has to offer to their clients who may be in the market for a home like yours.
I hire a professional photographer to come and take high resolution photos of your home. I link these 21 photos to a website that I purchase using the civic address of your residence. The photos give Buyers a chance to preview your home and see it showcased in a way that catches and captivates their attention!
I then take those same 21 professional photos and have high quality brochures created to put on display at your home giving Buyers a takeaway reminder of the features they liked about your home.
I will utilize the world recognized Century 21 branding by placing the gold sign prominently on your property to alert any passersby that your home is for sale and where to find further information.
I will include your home in my virtual office tour allowing my colleagues the chance to see pictures and details of your property. This is a real asset as it allows me to answer their questions and to really sell your home to other Realtors and to access their group of qualified Buyers.
I will send information regarding your property to entire my sphere of influence (prospective buyers, investors, past clients, etc.) letting them know why they may want to look into buying your property. I will also make certain that that I update my sphere of influence whenever we have a major change to the listing whether it is a price adjustment, renovation, upgrade, etc. According to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board over 85% of home sales take place due directly to the contacts and relationships a Realtor has built over the length of their career.
I will have your home is listed in the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) MLS Review newspaper.
I will execute strategic advertising by sending the property details to those in the Century 21 network system of 400 plus offices and 8,000 sales agents that I have worked with in the past or met at our national conventions.
I will keep detailed records of who saw your home and when. This will allow me to contact anyone who has shown any interest in your property so that when we get an idea that an offer might be presented I can potentially instigate a multiple offer situation. We know what multiple offers mean right? MORE MONEY FOR YOU! At the end of the day is that not the ultimate goal for us all!?!
I will provide a complementary moving truck to assist you in moving out of your old house and into your new home. The truck will also be offered to any Buyer who purchases through Century 21. This is one more incentive for them to buy your home instead of someone else's!
By listing with me, a Century 21 Real Estate Agent, you will also have the opportunity to earn Airmiles. The Airmiles program will also be offered to any Buyer who purchases through the Century 21 system. This is another incentive for them to buy your home. No other real estate company in Canada can offer you this.
These are some (but by no means all) of the things I do to assist you in the selling of your home. It is very important to make your home stand out from the crowd and I will do my best to make that happen! Of course, every property has its individual characteristics and strengths. I will capitalize on these strengths and use them to their fullest potential. No agent will spend more time or effort to sell your home then I will. I am so confident in that statement I will say it again..."No agent will spend more time or effort to sell your home!"
By enlisting my services, I make the sale of your home as easy and stress free as possible. I will provide you with a sales and marketing plan that outlines what we can do to make your home sell quickly and at the best possible price. Some may consider hiring any agent a risky thing to do, I see it as an opportunity to get a sold sign on your front yard!
