Welcome, to my virtual home listing website. Please scroll down and click on all the links below but play me first!
There are many examples on this page, please scroll all the way down!
Our Traditional Marketing
1. Staging the home
How were we able to sell so many homes last year? That's easy, we make sure all of our properties show better then similar price homes on the market. If we feel it's necessary, we contact a professional home stager who will do a walk thru of our listings and make suggestions.
2. Placing a sign in the yard and lockbox on the door
This might sound like a no brainier but it is a very intricate part of proper marketing. There are several unique things we do with signage to drive Buyer to your house.
3. Placing the home in the MLS system.
Still the most powerful marking tool for homes. Again, we have procedures which will gravitate Buyers to your property.
4. Outside two sided color flyer- placed in flyer box on the sign.
What does your outside flyer look like? Did you even have an outside flyer? Take a look at our two sided color example. Click here for an example

5. Our properties can be found at dozens of non brokerage sites
Not only will your property appear on all the brokerages sites including; RE/MAX, HER, Caldwell Banker, Keller Williams ect. But we will also place it on these non traditional web sites where Buyers may be looking for homes. Below are just a few.
3. Our listing are featured on the two most searched sites in the world for homes: Realtor.com and RE/MAX.com
Realtor.com is the #1 searched web site for homes in the world. RE/MAX.com is #3 (Homegain, a mortgage site is #2). RE/MAX spent over a Billion dollars (that's Billion with a B) last year advertising RE/MAX.com to make sure consumers use the site to search for homes. No other Real Estate company comes close to spending as much as RE/MAX does in advertising properties. As RE/MAX agents our properties are featured first on RE/MAX.com. Our paid subscription is the most expensive you can purchase from Realtor.com and allows us to leverage the site as much as possible. Below is how we use Realtor.com to drive Buyers to our listings. Press play and the video will start.
4. Our Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
What is search engine optimization? When your looking for something out on the Internet what sites do you use? Google, Yahoo, MSN ect. You type in some key words then presto(Example: Houses for sale in Tartan Fields Dublin Ohio) . Search engines use a very sophisticated algorithm to rank searches then list them accordingly. Companies spend millions of dollars a year so there sites will appear at the top of the search pages. We want our properties to appear at the top of these sites as well. Click on the example below and I'll show you.
1. The old 80/20 rule is now the 90/10 rule
What is the 80/20 rule? The reality is that 80% of business is done by 20% of the Realtors in town. As the market has slowed and many, many part time Realtors have quit the business and the average has become more like 90/10. Were part of that 10% and have been for the past 33 years. We know who the 10% is and are constantly market our homes to those Realtors.
Networking With Other Realtors To Sell Our Properties
2. Broker Metrics
What is Broker Metrics? It's the most powerful real estate software available on the market today. We are one of only two teams in Central Ohio licensed to use the software. The software allows us to:
1. Identify the Realtors in any submarket who are doing the most business.
2. Tells us the Realtors who are currently representing Buyers in any area or price range.
3. Gives us real time statistical data on what's going on in any housing sub market
By being able to identifying Realtors who have ready, will and able Buyers it allows us to market to these agents more aggressively to sell our listings.
3. Central Ohio Realtors Luxury Group (For properties over $600,000 only)
We are members of Central Ohio's only Luxury Home Group. The Group is made up of 25 Realtors from different Real Estate brokerages (HER, Caldwell Banker, RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Ect) who specialize in higher end properties. The group networks with one another to help sell each other higher end listings.
4. Central Ohio Area Realtors Tours
Not only are we members of the Luxury Homes group but we also precipitate in the local area Realtors tours.
All of our properties are featured on this tour which is attended by Realtors from all brokerages. The tours occur on different days of the week depending on where the house is located. The point is to get the property in front of as many agents who work/live in these areas as possible. About 85% of our listings are sold by other agents in different brokerages.

For the past 33 years we have been serving the Central Ohio comminuity. Please Click Here to find out more about us and Click Here to read what some of our clients have to say.
2. The Client Care Manager
We have a full time non licensed assistant who helps us with our business. She works 9-5 Monday through Friday and is in constant contact with Charlotte and myself. She takes care of a lot of the administrative work which allows us to sell our properties.
4. Our in-house staff
We have our own in house staff of admiistrative assistances who answer phone calls and most important schedule showings on our listings. Many other brokerages have contracted out third party resourses to set up showings. You may have had some experiense with one of these companies. We fell it is very important for our staff to know who is going to be inside our listing, at what time and with whom.
3. Showing feedback
One of the most important aspect of a showing is getting feedback from the agent. This can sometimes be a chalange. We send three emails and call the agent three times on every showing. If they don't respond after six attempts there is a good they won't respond at all.
Conclusion?
There's more, much more but at this point I think your probably a little tired of looking at this website. Hopefully, I started to give you a better understanding of why we have been so successful in marketing and selling our homes. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to speak with you, and explain what we can do to get your property sold.
