Valuable information when selling your home with Steve Reese

My marketing plan is thoughtfully designed to give your home maximum exposure targeted at relevant buyers. It is based on our experience of what works. I use a multimedia approach designed to take advantage of cutting edge marketing technology. With more than nine out of 10 of homebuyers using the internet to search for homes, my marketing focuses on varied online tools to find the right buyer.

You only have one chance to make a first impression with consumers. Many agents and brokerages stumble on this step and cost their sellers real money when buyers don’t value the home enough to make solid offers. So how can you avoid this misstep?

Much of the property marketing campaign rests on the consumer’s ability to find your property online … and to find it with the right information and high-quality components. These pre-launch activities, therefore, are designed to seed the marketplace, optimize for SEO (search engine optimization), and position your property for the best possible impression right out of the gate.

Virtual open houses are a way I increase the reach of your property to potential buyers.
