15 Steps to SOLD!
Consultation
During our COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION we will tour your home and go over what needs to be done to prepare it to sell. I will share the comps in your area with a comparative market analysis(CMA), and discuss strategic pricing and my marketing strategy that will sell your home for top dollar quickly.
Marketing Strategies
Our MARKETING will go above & beyond putting a sign in the yard and placing it in the MLS. We take pride in our custom marketing strategies. Your home will be showcased on social media, email, video & print marketing. We want to meet every possible buyer wherever they might be looking.
Staging & Pre-Inspection
The goal of STAGING is having a trained eye come into your home and look at it as a buyer would. My ability to stage for the market will get your home show ready. We look at staging like we are creating a neutral palette, so that all buyers can envision themselves living there.
A PRE-INSPECTION will be done so that the buyers will have confidence to make an offer on the home.
Photography & Videography
Many times a buyer has already decided if they are interested in your home just from the pictures online, without ever stepping foot inside. Our PHOTOGRAPHY partners are the best at coming into your home and capturing it at its absolute best. Now, the pre-marketing can begin.
Coming Soon & Firm Exclusive
If applicable, we can list your home as “COMING SOON” in MLS. This will give buyers a sneak peek into your home before it is officially ready to show.
FIRM EXCLUSIVE is another option for the most discerning clients. Your home will be marketed within our firm to all of our brokers.
Active On Market
Now that we have completed all the steps to prepare your home for market, it’s time to go LIVE . Our marketing plan will also go live and your home will be presented to thousands across our market as well as the world with our Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® global network.
Showings / Open House
Keeping your home show ready is the key to being sold quickly. I will share tips with you to keep the guess work out of making sure you are ready for all SHOWINGS. Keeping a clean, shiny, and clutter-free home will ensure buyers only see the best things about your home.
Marketing & Advertising
These may be held at any time on an “as needed” basis. Once an Open House is scheduled, it will be entered into MLS and will appear on the DM website, as well as all MLS feeds on other large search sites. DM features all Open Houses on social media accounts every Friday for the upcoming weekend.
Our marketing department will create custom marketing materials for your listing. Custom pieces are designed in house and will be mailed to specific lists that cater to our marketing plan/schedule.
Broker events may be held to introduce your home to other local agents in the Charlotte area and around your home. We have a database comprised of thousands of Charlotte agents that we can select from to invite to your home. Once scheduled, this event will go into our company calendar which is emailed out to our agents weekly.
