Following are a few of Mike's marketing strategies designed to sell your home quickly, for top dollar, with minimal inconvenience to you. Aside from listing your home on the MLS for other agents, Mike employs innovative tools to market your property, at no additional cost to you.

1.  THE INTERNET

Difficult economic times demand innovative, effective marketing to sell your property.  By far, the #1 tool used by home buyers, is the Internet.  Estimates vary, but approximately 90% of home buyers use the Internet as part of their home search process.  Mike's marketing targets Internet buyers.  Exposure sells homes (and all other products/services) - - Mike's system provides the most exposure for your home to qualified buyers.

MIKE'S EXISTING BUYER CLIENT BASE - HE HAS  BUYERS FOR YOUR HOME NOW!

Immediately upon listing your property, Mike contacts all of his buyer clients looking for homes in your area, in your home's price range.  Over the last 30 years, Mike has developed successful systems designed to generate buyers for your property.  Mike's substantial Internet advertising generates at least 50-100 potential buyers (usually more) at any given time.  He has buyers for all home price ranges and cities in the South Bay.           

Buyers view your listing on this website, on the IMRMLS website  (used by all real estate agents in the area finding homes to show their buyers), the ZipRealty.com site (the top real estate broker site with over 3 million hits per month, seen by buyers all over the world), and the Realtor.com, Trulia.com, and Zillow.com sites. While it's nice to see your home in print ads (newspapers/magazines), only a small % of homes are sold from these ads.

2.  ONLINE PROMOTIONS                                                                                                            Mike spotlights your property as a "Featured Listing" to buyers and agents from all over the country searching the local MLS for homes in your price range. This separates your property from similar homes on the market.

5.  CUSTOMIZED MULTIMEDIA E MAIL PRESENTATIONS
Mike produces personalized multimedia presentations for your property, that can be e mailed, published on his web site, etc.  These unique presentations set your home apart from your competition and leave a lasting impression key marketing strategies.  

6.  FOUR REASONS HOMES DON'T SELL / GENERATE OFFERS
  • The home is not clean and does not show well
  • The seller is not cooperative with showings
  • The commissions are not high enough to attract agents to show the property
  • The price is too high (generally the biggest problem)
Mike helps you resolve these issues prior to putting your home on the market.

7.  VIRTUAL TOUR & PERSONAL WEBSITE FOR YOUR HOME
It's a known fact that virtual tours and multiple photos generate much more interest and activity in a listed property, and separate your home from others on the market.  The virtual tour of your property is seen on the MLS, real estate web sites, e-mailed to potential clients, etc.  Mike creates a website for your property, and drives traffic to the site, where buyers see photos and information about your home or investment property.

8. ALL BUYERS ARE PRE-QUALIFIED FOR A LOAN
This assures you that the people Mike brings to your property -- can afford to buy your property.  If your property is sold by another agent, Mike follows up with their lender within one business day of opening escrow, to make sure they are qualified to purchase your property.

9. COMMUNICATION
Prior to selling, Mike provides weekly updates regarding the status of your property.  All responses from potential buyers, whether shown by Mike or another agent, are communicated immediately.  Once in escrow, Mike and his team keep you abreast of everything related to your escrow, as it happens.
 
10. BROKER / PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
Within 2 weeks of putting your home on the market, local agents are invited to tour your home as a new listing.  Open Houses are scheduled and your listing is publicized at our office Sales Meetings - providing substantial exposure for your home.

11. MASSIVE COLOR FLYER DISTRIBUTION
  • Flyers are sent to 1000's of agents within 3 days of listing with Mike, and monthly thereafter until Sold.  
  • Flyers are distributed in flyer boxes at your property, which are seen by buyers looking to purchase in your area.  
  • Lastly, the flyers are distributed inside your home to potential buyers who have toured your property.
12. RESPONSIVE FOLLOW UP 
All incoming leads and sign calls are followed up immediately.  After all showings of your home, Mike calls the agent to get their client's response to your home, and to overcome any objections their clients may have. Mike also pays for a short, simple follow-up service that elicits feedback from agents showing your home to their clients. He reviews this information with you immediately.
