Custom Marketing Materials

Small Postcard Mailer 
Do you print or want to print postcards or flyers to advertise your listings? Together we can create a custom marketing image for you.  Once we have the basic design elements, I can create the templates for each piece of marketing. (Ex: flyers, postcards, etc.) Once we have the templates, each new listing's photos and specs can be plugged in. If you have a print source, I can send the files to them for you or I can send the files to one of my sources. This means that you have more time to network and find your next client. Plus, it's like having your own assistant. And who doesn't like the sound of that?

If you're interested in making better use of your time, give me a call so that we can discuss your needs, wants and what it will take to make it happen. 602.809.7710,  Michelle.

BAD first impression = Lost Opportunity

And what opportunity do you want? You want the opportunity to sell a house of course!

It's not about the equipment,
it's about knowledge.
To do that you need to make the house you're selling "look" like the best of its kind. The more boxes a potential buyer can check off on their wish list the better the chance you have of getting a phone call. And that's what you want, right? Activity. This is what you'll take back to your sellers, showing them that you will sell their house. I know this may all seem simple, but the truth is, no matter how simple it really is there are many agents who think they can achieve the same results by taking shortcuts. One of those shortcuts being to post subpar photos of their client's home. Sure, eventually they might sell the home, but at what cost? I'll tell ya, "time" and "money". The longer the home sits on the market, the less money they'll potentially sell that home for. If that agent is you, how does that serve you and your seller?
 
Call me so that we can give your clients the quality and professional service they deserve, and you want to be known for.  602.809.7710,  Michelle.

What do your listing photos say about your level of professionalism as a real estate agent?


Not only is the listing, AND the photos in it, your most important tool when trying to sell a home, but it also demonstrates the kind of professional you are. If you’re interested in gaining new clients, you need to put your best foot forward. Not news, right? But have you thought about this? “The real estate listing” your potential client’s first and possibly only chance of meeting you, AND the first and possibly last chance you have of selling the home to a potential buyer. Ah yes, that is how important your listing photos are. These are two types of individuals you're trying to reach. 

When you are mapping out your marketing budgets you need to include funds for the one way you can reach the most potential clients and buyers – the real estate listings. When people start thinking about buying a home they don’t necessarily call an agent right away. No, they hit the internet and start browsing listings. If your listing is appealing enough, there is a chance they will call you. Ta daa! I can’t stress enough what a great marketing tool your listings “can” be. But you have to utilize them in the most optimal way or they could actually be working against you. 

I will work with you, as your partner, to help optimize the appeal of the homes in your listings. To do this, I will provide you photos that “accurately and completely” represent your homes. I’m also a skilled graphic and layout designer, so I can help you out with that when and if needed. Show potential buyers that you’re serious about what you do - sell homes.
