We are also able to connect a myriad of marketing tools to the site, including our custom property videos, tours, etc.

We will provide periodic activity reports that detail all marketing and advertising efforts.

Also, a digital activity report will be provided, outlining the online traffic being driven to your property.
OBJECTION VS CONDITION
It is important to differentiate between possible objections and conditions regarding the property.
• An objection is a feature or state that can be adjusted or corrected. Common objections: outdated paint or wallpaper, carpet in disrepair, landscape in need of sprucing, etc.
• A condition is a feature that can’t be changed or altered. Common conditions: property located on a busy street, property backing to commercial property, located in a flood plain, etc.
Armed with the knowledge of the difference between objections and conditions, we will review and consider all market activity and feedback provided by prospective buyers and their agents and will share suggestions based on all pertinent information so you are armed with the best information to make informed decisions along the way.
Approximately 80% of market activity occurs during the first six weeks and proper “market value” pricing results in greater exposure and an increased probability of a quick sale. An overpriced home may experience fewer showings and can miss this first six week surge of opportunity and may ultimately be overlooked.
