Marketing Plan Overview To Sell Your Home

I offer my clients the most comprehensive Marketing Plan in the business:

1. Consultation on how to prepare your home to achieve the best possible price
   
2. Professional photography
3. First class promotional materials
   
4. Direct mail campaigns
   
5. Print media advertising
   
6. Targeted broker-to-broker marketing
   
7. An orchestrated schedule of direct showings and open houses
   
8. The best Internet marketing program of any real estate brokerage in the Bay Area

My marketing campaign is designed to reach every single potential buyer, and every broker who might have a buyer—to create that sense of urgency which is our best chance to achieve the highest sales price (ideally via the orchestration of a multiple offer situation).
