K.C. -The sale of one’s home is the single largest financial transaction of their life and emotionally, it can be a roller coaster of thoughts, memories, emotions, and concerns.

This is YOUR home and if you ever made the decision to sell, you should be represented by the very best for the very best results and the very best overall experience.

My wife and I have lived in Lake Hills Reserve since 2008, I know every street in our 1,311 home community, I’ve been the Top Producing Agent up here every year since 2012, and over that time I’ve had many record sales and currently hold the records for 3 of the top 5 highest sales ever in Lake Hills.

With that in mind, here is some information about my marketing plan followed by a little about me and my team.

I’ve been in real estate since 2003 and simply put, I’m passionate about helping people which is why I get so much joy out of doing what I do.

I’m really looking forward to discussing how I can help…

Best,

STEP 1 - MARKET TEASE We have a database of literally THOUSANDS of people including buyers that have been interested in Lake Hills whom we reach out to and that could potentially be interested in your home. In addition, we implement mass email blasts to the top agents in Corona / Riverside as well as postcard mailings to Lake Hills itself informing them of what is coming soon. This has often generated high-priced sales without the hassle of showings from buyers that simply will pay more to avoid market competition.

THE VALUE OF TRG CONCIERGE REAL LIFE CASE STUDY

$385K Expected Sale Price Without TRG Concierge

$500K Sale Price After TRG Concierge

In October of 2020, a longtime Lake Hills client reached out to me regarding the sale of their mother’s home in Fontana.

The home was in poor shape and in dire need of help. Based on its condition, the home would likely sell in the high $300s, but I believed with some renovations we would get into the mid to higher $400s. Despite my clients having no funds for this, they were able to qualify due to the equity in the home. And with a sold price of $500K, are they glad they did!!!

$21K

COMPLETED SERVICES • Interior/Exterior Paint • Various repairs throughout • New flooring downstairs • New carpet upstairs • Full Kitchen Remodel • Recessed lighting throughout

STEP 3 - STAGING We utilize the services of one of Southern California’s top professional staging consultants to create a warm and inviting environment that highlights the best architectural features and selling points of your home; and more often than not, utilizing YOUR furnishings to do so!

Our Staging Consultant is Feng Shui-certified — important in Lake Hills — and well-versed in a broad spectrum of demographics. Understanding the target audience for potential buyers is a key to our success — and yours. When complete, professional staging will turn your home into a showplace that plays to the needs and desires of its prospective buyers.

REALTOR.com estimates that a staged home sells for no less than 3% more than a non-staged home.

STEP 4 - PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Our team combines professional pictures to capture the attention of potential buyers while showcasing your home’s best attributes. We work with the best real estate photographers to create a comprehensive visual description of your home from all angles (ground and air) and times (day and twilight) as well as all the amenities Lake Hills and Lake Hills Reserve has to offer, which is then shared via our website, print brochures, advertising, and social media.

REDFIN estimates that a professionally photographed home sells at least 5% more than one that isn’t.

STEP 5 - MATTERPORT TECHNOLOGY Matterport is the latest in cutting edge technology that utilizes hi-tech cameras to create dynamic 3D visual tours of your home.

This technology essentially provides an “always open house” by giving prospective Buyers the ability to virtually move through the entire home (top picture) and offers a total sense of how a home fits together with the “Dollhouse View” (bottom picture).

Matterport helps create an immediate, lasting emotional connection to a property because Buyers can experience it as if they were already there and easily share this experience with friends and family.

STEP 6 - PROFESSIONAL VIDEOGRAPHY While our marketing is largely considered unparalleled within the real estate community, it is our video that simply puts us on another level and is the perfect opportunity for me to blend my two greatest passions: movies and real estate. With the connections I’ve amassed over my years in the entertainment industry I have put together a crew of experienced filmmakers that utilize state-of-the-art equipment — stedicam gimbal systems, in-camera ramping techniques, animated effects, aerial shooting — and masterful editing to tell a story. Couple that with shallow-depth close-ups on key features and snippets of Lake Hills to encapsulate what our community has to offer and you have a production value far beyond the everyday real estate video. My goal with this is to show off your home like it's the King of the Lake Hills — the Star of the Movie!!

REALTOR.com estimates that a professionally shot and edited real estate video will increase a home’s sales price by at least 2%.

STEP 7 - VIRTUAL TOURS Blending professional photography of your home with a pleasant musical accompaniment, our three-minute virtual tour will draw prospective buyers in and create an emotional connection that will last long after the video has ended. Since it comes in the form of a simple sharable link, it is quick to make its way around and add to the attention the home receives. This important marketing tool is will increase interest—and showings—of your home and will help achieve your goal of selling for the best price possible in the least amount of time.

REALTOR.com estimates that these Virtual Tours can add at least 1% to the sales price of a home.

STEP 9 - SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING From Facebook to Instagram and beyond, social media is an exceptionally powerful way to expose your home to a virtually infinite number of potential buyers. Our Social Media Marketing Manager has an expert grasp on what has become the critical component of real estate marketing in this new age of advertising. She utilizes her expertise for targeted marketing via Facebook and Instagram as well as Google where she implements the target approach as well as Geofencing to optimize placement on Google for those searching for homes in the Riverside area as well as Lake Hills specifically. She also ensures that ensures your property is marketed online 24/7 through more than 350 of the most popular search websites and emails are blasted to all agents in the Corona / Riverside area as well as those with historical activity in Lake Hills. Our internet and social media marketing campaigns are extremely successful, with homes we represent consistently ranked at or near the top in total views.

NBC News has estimated that a home that is marketed extensively on social media can sell for at least 6% more than one that isn’t.

STEP 10 - PLAN OF ATTACK While the social media campaigns we create are widespread and cast a large net extending from Los Angeles to Orange County — two areas where I have repeatedly captured buyers that have led to record-breaking sales — the specific plan of attack is directed with an intense focus on the Big 3 — Facebook, Google, Instagram — and is reverse-engineered from the date of our first open house:

2 Weeks Before To Open House

Postcard to Lake Hills - “Coming Soon” (no price mentioned) Facebook, Instagram, and Lake Hills Viewer posts - Coming Soon tease Social Media Targeted Marketing - Facebook, Google, Instagram Google-speci c Targeted Marketing / Geo-Fencing Email Blast to top Corona/Riverside agents as well as agents active in Lake Hills

1 Week Before To Open House

Postcard to Lake Hills - “Open House” (no price mentioned) Facebook, Instagram, and Lake Hills Viewer posts - Open House announcement Social Media Targeted Marketing - Facebook, Google, Instagram Google-speci c Targeted Marketing / Geo-Fencing Email Blast to above-referenced agents re: Open House date

STEP 11 - THE STRATEGIC OPEN HOUSE Holding an Open House is the best way to showcase everything your home has to offer inside and out which is what makes this plan so critically important and powerful. With your approval, we will restrict all initial showing requests until the first official Open House which we do heavy marketing campaigns to advertise. This allows us to create a buzz and build anticipation and excitement about your home coming to market in a market with such limited supply as we have been experiencing. This Open House is always held by me personally as buyers and agents feel an increased level of comfort when I answer questions not only as the Area Specialist in Lake Hills but also as a homeowner who watched his home be built from the ground up in 2008.

He has an excellent grasp of the market in our area and strives to go the extra mile. He helps his clients understand the buying and selling process and is always available to answer questions.

Galicia in Lake Hills Chris was amazing and very knowledgeable about where we live! From day 1 he was upfront and honest about what needed to get done in order to sell our home and within 6 days of being on the market it sold for asking price! He also helped us find our dream home. It took a little while to find but he was constantly updating us with new listings and it paid off in the end. We highly recommend Chris, he is as good as it gets with a Agent. We were very lucky to find him.

Justin in Lake Hills Chris was a pleasure to get to know and work with. Chris invested plenty of personal time and effort to market our home. As a result, he was able to find the best-qualified buyer in record time! Chris exceeded our expectations. We have already recommended Chris to our neighbors!

Kelly in Lake Hills Reserve Chris was awesome to work with. As a first-time home seller, I was grateful to have such an experienced and responsive agent to work with. He went above and beyond for us as we aimed to sell our house in the time frame we needed. His marketing for the home was fabulous and open houses were packed. We will be using him again on any future home sales or searches.

Aaron in Lake Hills Reserve Chris is an awesome Realtor. He is fast to respond, answers all your questions, and is quick to sell homes. He advocated for us and I could not be happier with the results of the time it took to sell our home and how much we received for it. He is trustworthy and honest, and that is difficult to find in the Realtor world. I highly recommend him for any of your realty needs.

I would highly recommend him to anyone, buying or selling.
