The 4 P's of Marketing applied to real estate
While these are the basics that most agents do to sell a home, my promotional efforts include designing a complete marketing program specifically for your home.
Promotion is more than a sign in the yard & an ad in the paper. I will design a marketing plan just for you.
Some of the promotional tools I offer are:
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEBER ABOUT ADVERTISING
OUR POLICY
Our company's advertising program, a tried and proven one, has been established from surveys and studies made by the REALTORS NATIONAL MARKETING INSTITUTE and a survey made by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS entitled "The Homebuying and Selling Process: 2000." It is based on the experiences of the most highly successful real estate brokers in the country.
ADVERTISING YOUR PROPERTY
Advertising does not sell real estate - our people sell real estate.
There are many ways of merchandising your house; newspaper advertising is just one. As you can see below, contrary to what most people think, newspaper advertising is not the major source of clients. Newspaper advertising’s goal is to make the phone ring and to meet new prospects so that we can find the home they are really looking for.
Some houses will draw more calls, so we may use them more often. We are just like the retailer who has specials to get customers into his store so that they will look at the rest of the merchandise.
Many times we have several similar houses and try not to advertise them on the same day, because the caller is really a prospect for all of them. By running each house at a different time we give each more coverage.

HOME WARRANTY
You can provide the buyer up to one year's coverage on:
You may also have coverage on certain items while your property is listed for sale even before you pay for the warranty.
Homes sell 60% faster and for a higher price then homes without a Home Warranty...according to a study by the National Home Warranty Association.
IT FIGURES...
. . . that one of the things most asked for (and not received) by buyers and sellers is financial advice.
I'm trained to help you with taxation and financing problems. I'll supply you with facts and figures to help you make decisions.
Sellers are not usually familiar with lenders' requirements for qualifying a buyer because things change so rapidly and there are so many loan programs available.
Buyers are more willing to share their personal financial information with a trained real estate professional then they are with a homeowner.
This is why it is important to have me help you sell you home.
OVER 80% OF ALL PROPERTY SOLD IN THE M.A.P. & NORTHERN ILLINOIS REGIONAL MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICES IS A COOPERATIVE SALE
FOR THAT REASON YOUR SELECTION OF A COMPANY SHOULD BE BASED ON WHO WILL REPRESENT YOUR BEST INTEREST
We know that you are concerned about the sale of your home.
I pledge to take a sincere interest in getting it sold.
The three most important criteria for selecting an agent are:
I can follow up on prospects who have seen your home without them thinking you're anxious.
The problem with a homeowner calling a prospective buyer "to see what he thinks" is that the buyer might get the wrong impression. You don't want to appear anxious or as though you'll take less money.
It is natural for a third party agent to follow up with a prospect.
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY

· Prepare a Comparative Market Analysis
· Submit a progress report on your property twice a month, either by telephone, mail, e-mail, or personal visit until sold
