Washington listing agent beats bad economy with good tools helping home owners and buyers

June 4, 2012 - PRLog -- “Creative approaches help people move their properties that makes economic sense, and helps buyers overcome obstacles when they have good credit scores”

Tacoma, WA—(May 20, 2012) – Leske Realty announced today, that the “traditional” real estate model just doesn’t work anymore.   Today, home sellers must compete not only with other home listings in their real estate market, but also with buyer’s fears and concerns.  Now they have a bigger threat with so many bank-owned homes and the fact that people that have what’s considered to be good credit scores are also having problems getting loans.  Online marketing also weakens the traditional model.

Not so fast says Don Leske at Leske Realty, “You have to take a fresh look at today’s market, reinvent your thinking process, and change your real estate tool belt,” said Leske.  “Instead of letting online technology work against me, I embraced it.  I looked at bank owned homes and then at home owners and recognized they really want the same thing.  Both the bank and the homeowner want to move their properties.”

Leske sees this one common bond as a great starting point to help both parties using unconventional approaches.  By working with the home seller and the bank at the same time, the home can be converted to a lease option which is really a “rent to own” arrangement.  While most people are unfamiliar with the term, it can be a useful home-buying tool.  Leske realizes it this one option may not be for everyone, there are still there are many other solutions in his fine-tuned unconventional real estate tool-belt.

Packaging is central to how Don Leske works beyond the “deal”.  For instance Don uses HDR-Photos to make you property pop over other competitive properties.  In simpler terms, HDR is a range of methods to represent more contrast in pictures.  Non-HDR cameras take pictures at one exposure level with a limited contrast range.  This results in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas of a picture, depending on whether the camera had a low or high exposure setting.  HDR compensates for this loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and intelligently stitching them together so that we eventually arrive at a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas.

Don uses many techniques that are proactive like actual telephone prospecting, door knocking, Facebook, YouTube videos, email marketing campaigns and virtual flyers,  call capture systems, QR Codes, Mobile enabled websites, SEO for his listings and websites versus passive-traditional marketing like sitting at open houses, sitting at the office just waiting for buyers to find him.

Leske Realty is also using New Media to reach younger home sellers and buyers.  “You can’t underestimate the power of Social Media Platforms when it comes to selling or buying a home,” Leske said, “After all a brand is only as good as the conversations taking place about the product or service, or in this case the home”.

Leske has launched a brand new website with his Facebook up front and personal on his Home Page.  He makes good use out of YouTube®, LinkedIN®, and Twitter®.  Leske explains, “It’s not enough to just add those logos to your website, you have to be actively involved and interacting with those platform opportunities on a daily basis.”  Leske is definitely working it, and this too will help people who want to list their homes and get the word out.  Leske has taken the very tool that threatens the traditional real estate model and made it work for him and his clients.

If you are looking to list your home or buy a home, take some time to give Don Leske a call.  Sit down with him and he will show you many options and effective ways to sell or buy a home in today’s unconventional market.
