After an in-person visit and before listing your property we will work with you on preparing your home so that it can be shown to its fullest potential. We may utilize several professional companies and individuals in our database to prepare and market your home such as: Increasing street appeal, minor repairs to be done, staging the home, professional photography, drone and video tours and virtual staging. Here are some examples of each:
Working with the seller, we used home staging, drone, video, and professional photography to showcase this magnificent home.
Another great example of using drone, video, and professional photography for this beautiful home.
We prepare and print high quality, custom brochures which include professional photography and floor plans to showcase your property. These are given to potential buyers and real estate agents to leave them with a lasting, memorable impression of your home.
Print advertising is far from dead! It still attracts buyers. We use a combination of direct mail advertising and postal walk advertising (just listed). Both are specifically designed to identify buyers, increase property exposure and traffic. Our marketing materials are professionally designed, customized, and are of very high quality. We also have access to The Vancouver Sun, Globe & Mail, Real Estate Weekly and many other publications. Using these marketing tools will expose your property to hundreds of thousands of potential buyers.
For luxury homes priced at $2 Million or more we expand our reach to potential buyers from across the globe. This is done through full page features in Macdonald Realty’s Luxury Homes Collection magazine which is distributed throughout North America, Europe and Asia. This printed magazine is produced quarterly and includes high quality, glossy photos and escriptive text of your home. We also actively list your property on a variety of global websites as shown below.
Owen strongly believes in the benefit of personally showing your home to potential buyers and buyer agents. This gives him the opportunity to point out the unique benefits and features that your home may have over the competition. It will also give you the (seller) peace of mind knowing that strangers will not be viewing your home on their own. It’s also another way to get instant feedback from potential buyers.
Through an exclusive arrangement with the Vancouver Sun, your listing will appear in the Weekend Home Section providing massive exposure to approximately 500K people across British Columbia.
All listings are advertised on the multiple listing service and feature our professional photography as well as detailed and well written property descriptions, open house schedules and realtor specific remarks. Owen will also add this to both Realtor.ca and Realtylink.org. Buyers constantly rely on the informational from these websites for their home buying options.
Open houses and private showings are a integral part of Owen’s marketing campaign. Homes are still bought through these showings and he will always be sure to personally host them when your listing first hits the market. These showings are also a great way to get instant feedback and allows us to make the proper marketing adjustments if necessary.
Other Realtors will view your home and share the information with hundreds of potential buyers.
Whether he’s personally showing your home or having a team member conduct a showing, Owen is committed to being a part of every step of the process such as marketing and listing, showings, handling phone inquiries, negotiating offer and much more. He keeps his clients personally informed with buyers and realtors feedback and provides weekly updates.
We will update you with comments and feedback after showings and open houses. We also review all the activities that have been performed to get your house sold plus provide you with any recommendations we may have for your property.
