About Pam Court Realty Pam Court Realty was first established in January 1998 by husband and wife team, Bob and Pam Court.

The journey began in 1990 when Pam began working with the developers of Mountain Creek, John Heaney & Associates, selling properties and helping with the development of the Mountain Creek and Buderim areas.

Pam worked with John Heaney & Associates for 8 years and witnessed first-hand the growth of Mountain Creek from a small housing development with dirt roads and dense bushland to the thriving community of today. Mountain Creek is now a highly sought-after lifestyle, offering everything from internationally-recognised primary & high schools, a local TAFE, world-class golf course, tennis centre, Woolworths shopping precinct, a tavern and so much more.

Pam Court Realty is a family owned and operated boutique-style office proud to be the area market leader for sales and rentals, as well as, an active part of the community sponsoring local school and sporting events.

A professionally designed and printed keepsake for all buyers interested in your home

Signboards Many of our buyer enquiries come from the signboards at the front of the property. This is your 24 hour a day salesperson!

Professional Floor Plans We use the floor plans online and on the back of flyers so buyers can remember your home even after the inspection.

We Get It Right Online You have less than 4 seconds to capture the attention of a potential buyer.

87% of potential buyers use the internet as their main tool to search for property.

Digital marketing is leading the way in the real estate world, but as people are becoming more and more time poor, your window of opportunity to capture the attention of a potential buyer is getting smaller.

It’s not unusual for a buyer to pick up their smart phone or iPad and have a quick stroll through page 1 or 2 to have a look at what’s new online... but what if your property is listed as a Highlight, Feature or Standard advert on realestate.com.au and doesn’t appear until at least page 4 or 5?

Don’t risk missing your market! With an audience of more than 5 million visitors every month, realestate.com.au is a crucial part of your advertising schedule and at Pam Court Realty you will receive a PREMIERE LISTING as a part of your FREE marketing package.

THE 3 BIGGEST FRUSTRATIONS FOR BUYERS

SOURCE: Residential Consumer Omnibus, March 2016. Sample Size: 1534 Base: Respondents looking to buy a residential property.

A Premiere Property attracts more buyers to help drive up the sale price.

Be seen first by more buyers Premiere properties appear first in all suburb, state and region search results.

Biggest ad With largest photos to invite more enquiry from buyers.

Rotate to the top Every 15 days your property rotates to the top so it’s seen by new buyers.

eBrochure – Your property delivered straight to eager buyers Email active buyers directly Who’ve been searching for a property like yours.

Increase views and enquiries By linking directly to the property details page on realestate.com.au.

Your agent will choose your send date To maximise enquiries.

Showcase your property With photos, a description of its features, inspection times, agent details and a map.

Know how your property is tracking Your agent can see the number of emails sent and property views.

Perception is Everything If the three rules of buying a property are ‘Location, Location, Location’, equally imperative are the three rules of selling – ‘Presentation, Presentation, Presentation’.

A picture is worth a thousand words – a list of features lacks emotion. An evocative image of your home can capture a buyer’s heart.

We will portray your property at its best with high quality professional images whether they be day or night in a 24 hour turnaround.

Better results – add value, increase exposure, deliver high quality pre-qualified buyers and gets your home sold!

Photography is the Essence to a Successful Marketing Campaign Introducing Allan MacKenzie

Allan MacKenzie is an Australian Award Finalist in recognition of Best Corporate Promotional Video by the Australian Video Producers Association. He is also a globally recognised specialist in aerial cinematography for luxury super-yacht advertising and interior-architectural photography for the luxury built establishments.

After graduating from the Queensland School of Film and Television, Allan owned and operated a photography-marketing agency and has been a pioneer in supplying professional photography and video to the real estate industry. During this time he established a video production company specialising in corporate and commercial photography and video.

Backed by years of experience, an eye for detail and solid industry knowledge, Allan MacKenzie is a trusted professional; delivering the highest quality product with exceptional service.

Some Common Mistakes When Preparing For Real Estate Photographs 1 Not removing bins, cars and trailers from the front yard and driveways.

2 Not removing toiletries, bath rugs, scales, bath toys, scrubbers, toilet brushes, cleaning supplies from bathrooms. Perhaps some small decorative pieces on the vanity, other than that the bathroom should be free of clutter.

3 Hiding luggage, shoes etc under the bed. Most of the time they will show in the photograph.

4 Spending too much time cleaning and not enough time de-cluttering.

Get everything put away before worrying about dusting and scrubbing.

5 Mopping floors or hosing down driveways and patios just before the photographer arrives. Puddles and wet spots reflect the light strangely.

6 Not removing fridge magnets, pin boards, phones and phone chargers, extension cords etc.

7 Not replacing light bulbs that don’t work. The photographer will need all lights on and working to make your photos look their best.

8 Putting a piece of furniture in every corner to “fill up” a room. That’s where the photographer will be standing.

Floor Plans Are Important Did you know that over 98% of buyers look at floor plans... but 80% of agents don’t use them!

Introducing Georgia Starkey With industry experience, exceptional quality of service delivered fast and accurately, The Floor Plan Specialist guarantees a professional and reliable floor plan solution. Based on and covering Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, Georgia’s services are raising the bar in local property marketing campaigns.

Why Floor Plans?

Floor Plans give context to photos and descriptions, at the same time conveying a properties potential. By engaging buyers and pre-qualifying, floor plans save you time and help you sell faster.

Fast becoming an essential part of property marketing.

“

“

Floor plans generate 30% more interest than a property without one. It’s about people imagining themselves living there.

SIGNBOARDS Your 24 Hour a Day Salesperson A signboard is a vital part of any integrated marketing campaign for your property. The signboard signals your property is for sale and attracts the attention of potential buyers.

While having a presence on the internet is very important when selling a property, not all buyers find properties through the mass media. In many cases, local residents look quietly for local properties for a change in size or location, as an investment or for family or friends re-locating to the area.

Pam Court Realty have all signboards professionally designed and printed to ensure your property makes a great first impression.

FLYERS
