The Sure Fire Plan to Sell Your Macomb County MI Home or Condo For Maximum Price in 90 Days or Less

CHESTERFIELD TWP, Mich. - April 19, 2015 - PRLog -- Rick’s Marketing Plan includes several features which you won’t find in the typical real estate marketing plan, including:

Performance Guarantee: If I can’t get your home under contract, at a price that you and I agree on, within 90 days of listing it, I’ll forfeit my listing side commission.

“For Sale” Sign: When we receive phone calls on listed properties, much of the time it is in response to someone having seen a “For Sale” sign posted on a lawn. With your approval, a sign will be posted on your property, telling the world 24/7 that it is on the market.

Property Flyers: The “For Sale” sign includes a flyer box, and we will deliver to you an ample supply of flyers so you can refill the box the moment you see flyers are running low. We don’t list the price on the flyers – we want buyers to call or visit the web site to inquire, so we can work on getting the buyers in the door to see your property, which is the best way to get it home sold.

Print Advertising: even in these high tech times, print advertising continues to reach enormous numbers of eyes. To ensure maximum exposure, a coordinated print campaign will be employed to help market the property. The campaign consists of:

Mailing “just listed” cards to closest neighbors

Mail “just listed” cards to buyers interested in such property

Posting on the Multiple Listing Service: your property will be listed with the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) – complete with color photographs of the most attractive features of the property. This is an invaluable service in the real estate business. The MLS systems are used by every Realtor® in the Southeastern area of Michigan. Over 7,000 Realtors have access to the system. When a Buyer’s Agent goes to look for properties to show a client, the MLS system is the first place to be checked.

Electronic Key Box: No-hassle access to a property is crucial to getting it shown, and sold. With the owner’s approval, we will place an electronic key box on the property. This will make it much easier for other Realtors to show the property to prospective buyers – thereby increasing the number of showings. More showings will usually yield more offers, and more offers will often mean a greater price. A property without an electronic key box may mean that the right buyer never sees the property, because it could not be shown when the buyer was hot.

Internet Advertising: the listing will be submitted to several high-traffic web sites, including:

Realtor.com - National Association of Realtors

Mlslistings.com - the Multiple Listing Service

Homes.yahoo.com - Yahoo Homes

Trulia.com - Trulia

Zillow.com - Zillow

Craigslist.com- Craigslist

MIrealsource.com

RE/MAX.com

MoveinMichigan.com

Facebook:  We have three Facebook fan pages, and 500+ friends.  Using promoted posts and special offers we will drive traffic to your home’s listing on the internet, and from there to the open houses.

Craigslist:  all listings are advertised at least twice weekly on Craigslist to make sure the most eyeballs are on the property. Additionally, all open houses are advertised on Craigslist.

Virtual Tour: Hire a professional firm to photograph your property and create a high-quality Virtual Tour of it. This tour will be linked from all of the above web sites. This is an invaluable sales tool, since the professionals that put these tours together showcase your home in the best possible light! It helps to get buyers interested in your home, calling to inquire, and then actually in through the front door!

E-Mail info to other top agents: As a real estate professional, I am in frequent contact with other professionals in the area. I will send electronic brochures of your property to agents who I know are likely to have clients who may be interested in your property.

Mail Feature sheets to your neighborhood. To see if any of your neighbors my know someone looking to move into the neighborhood.

Obtain buyer/agent feedback: We will solicit feedback from all agents who show the property as regards to pricing and the impressions the buyer and the agent had about the property, and communicate that feedback directly to you.

Keep you informed as to all neighborhood activity: The real estate market is very dynamic, and it is important to know what changes are happening in your neighborhood. We will set up an automated system to send you updates in near real time as new listings come on in your area, when properties go under contract, and when they sell.

The Strategy Behind the Sure Fire Plan

The plain truth is that the best chance most sellers have to get maximum price for their property is to ignite a bidding war among buyers, and the way to get a bidding war going is to price the property correctly, prepare it for sale such that it has the widest possible appeal, and aggressively market the property as quickly as possible. The strategy to achieve this result is simple, and is as follows:

·         We will give you tips on how to prepare the property for sale

·         Prepare all the marketing material – including virtual tour, web site, color brochures inside the house, postcards for the neighbors advising them the house will soon be for sale, etc. This includes placing a “For Sale” sign on the property.

·         Put the home on the sale on the MLS towards the beginning of the week. A “just listed” e-mail is sent to hundreds of local brokers, alerting them of the new listing. If there are no offers at this point, hold a broker’s open house again that week, and another round of open houses on the weekend, with the expectation of reviewing offers the following Tuesday.

The key to this system is two-fold: set the right price for the property, and promote it with an aggressive marketing campaign. A well-priced property, properly marketed, is sure to receive tremendous attention from the buying public.
