INTRODUCTION

Not all homes are created equal and neither are all REALTORS®. What sets Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty apart is our dedication to the highest level of performance for our clients. The marketing of your property is of utmost importance. The goal of our marketing plan is to touch every possible prospect for your home through internet promotion, print media, direct mail and focused distribution of information to agents in your area.
It has been reported that over 95% of all first inquiries regarding real estate are through the internet. Therefore, we have placed critical importance on the use of both technology and fundamental applications to ensure you the most satisfaction throughout the process of marketing your property.
We have developed a comprehensive media campaign to introduce your property to the market. It includes local advertising, direct mail to neighbors and past clients, and email promotion to agents in the community who are most likely to have clients with an interest in your property.
Teamwork is a vital component of a successful campaign to sell your home. Your responsibility is to make sure that your house is in the best showing condition possible before we begin our promotion and advertising. We can assist you with a checklist of important details and the names of resources to help you complete any needed repairs.
PROMOTING YOUR PROPERTY
Effective marketing with consistent promotions is the key to success. In selling real estate, there needs to be a comprehensive strategy designed to attract buyers to your property. At Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, the selling of your property involves more than just an ad in the paper, a sign in the yard, and waiting for a buyer. In reviewing the various forms of marketing, the Internet has been proven to be a very effective means of marketing your home. Research by the National Association of REALTORS® shows that nearly 100% of all homebuyers use the Internet to shop for their home. Rather than tackling the complicated buying process by themselves, 89% of Internet home shoppers worked with a real estate agent. Therefore, we will use a comprehensive plan that includes promoting your home to colleagues throughout the area to expose your home to the most buyers.
INTERNET: All Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International listings are featured on the world’s most powerful media sites and real estate-focused websites in the world, including: Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, WSJ.com, NYTimes.com, FinancialTimes. com, Juwai.com and more.
ANNOUNCEMENT IN SALES MEETING: Your home will be introduced to all Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty sales associates via virtual caravan. The presentation includes color photos of the exterior and interior as well as details about your home. This is the first opportunity to market your home to real estate professionals.
BROKER OPEN: On the first available Tuesday, key agents and brokers will be invited to tour your home. A catered lunch or other incentives will be offered to draw as many agents as possible, thus maximizing exposure for your property. Any feedback from the agent tour will be provided to you immediately.
OPEN HOUSE: If desired, public open houses will be held periodically, providing an opportunity for potential buyers to tour your home.
MARKET EXPOSURE: In addition to the strong Internet presence we offer our clients, our company and listings may be marketed in various print media such as the Neighbor Newspapers, Dunwoody Crier, Alpharetta Revue & News, Marietta Daily Journal and more. Color brochures will also be created for display at your home.
RELOCATION CONNECTIONS: Prospects for your home come from relocation services, corporations, executive search firms, and fellow associates who keep track of potential buyers moving into the Atlanta area.
REFERRAL NETWORKS: Your home will be promoted by word of mouth to a personal network of fellow sales associates as well as my sphere of influence and past clients.
STATUS UPDATES: You will receive an update on market activity as we go along and you will find out the responses to your property by buyers and agents. Every 30 days we will review current market statistics and at this time will discuss adjustments or recommendations that may be necessary to reposition your home in the market in order to accelerate a satisfactory sales agreement.
