Selling your home is MORE then just a sign in the lawn; although ours is pretty great!
We make your home stand out.
We’ve had the distinct pleasure of selling over 1,000 homes across the Fraser Valley. Every home has its own unique story – of the people who lived there, the history made within its walls, and its part in shaping the community around it.
More homes sold means not only that we’ve accumulated a vast array of experience to call upon in any situation, but also that we’ve built connections across the region that help us sell homes faster.
12 PROVEN MARKETING TECHNIQUES FOR SELLING YOUR HOME:
PRICING.
It all begins with strong well positioned pricing for the real estate marketing you are selling in. You may think to list high or possibly low is the best strategy because of past conversations with friends or family but we want your home priced ‘just right’.
Pricing your home is one of the biggest steps you can take when it comes to selling your home. Whatever type of home it is, we have the proven experience and knowledge that can make all the difference for putting MORE money in your pocket and getting your home SOLD in the shortest amount of time.
STAGING.
Our team is here to help you get your home ready for sale. A complimentary walk through of your home in preparation for photos and showings is a huge part of selling, and yes can take a bit of work.
How you see your home is very different then a potential buyer walking through it. With a bit of de-personalization and specific furniture placement; staging will allow the potential buyer to see themselves in your home.
Ultimately attracting more buyers, and potentially selling in a shorter amount of time for more money.
COMING SOON.
Selling your home starts well before your home is promoted on our Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Over the last nine years our team has fine tuned and perfected our coming soon program. As we are constantly looking for new ways to promote our clients homes we saw a need in a very fast paced market to make sure it was being exposed prior to being released on the MLS system.
Our ‘Coming Soon’ campaign has proven time and time again that our system works; creating buyer excitement and anticipation that their dream home will become a reality.
360 VIRTUAL TOUR.
Your first showing now starts online. Many buyers will already know most aspects of a home before physically walking through it. With the use of 3D self-guided virtual tours including the capability of augmented reality a buyer can now tour your home without even stepping through the front door.
What does this mean for you as a Seller? You now know that when a potential Buyer books a private viewing of your home with their REALTOR, they are seriously considering it to be ‘the one’.
VIDEO.
Capturing video today is such a great tool in telling the story of your home. It shows movement, helps visualize an atmosphere and captures the essence of what it means to live there.
With 95% of Buyers starting their search for their next home online, it is so important that we tell your homes story and capture it through video.
DRONE.
The Thorne Maisey Bongers Real Estate Group is LICENSED to fly…a Drone, that is!
Here in British Columbia it is a requirement that before you fly a drone you must have a license as well as submission of a flight plan before you launch.
Well the Team did just that; got their drone pilot’s license. This allows for the Team to market your home with elevation, a birds eye view.
PHOTOS.
Photos can have a huge impact when marketing your home. Offering professionally processed photos on every listing could mean the difference of a Buyer skipping right past your home’s listing or sitting on the market longer then it should, ultimately putting less money in your pocket.
As of 2020, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board has increased the number of allowable photos to 40 images on every listing posted, that’s double from what it was.
WEBSITES.
We’ve got you covered…or should we say exposed! Exposure of your home is our top priority. The more eyes we can put your home in front of, the more potential it has in achieving it’s highest sale price.
Your home will listed on the TOP searched websites. Did you know REALTOR.ca is the #1 Searched website for buyer’s looking for a new home and REMAX.ca is the #1 searched Franchise site and not only that your home will have it’s own designated listing site right here on our custom tmbrealestate.com. This doesn’t even include all the syndicated site that we offer out through our reciprocity agreement for all our listings.
SOCIAL.
Let’s spread the word…social media is today’s megaphone. We love social, not only does it allow us to get creative with telling the story of your home it allows us to put it in front of a targeted paid audience as well as a natural organic reach of people exposing your home to thousands of potential buyers.
Our unique, and tailored social posts on Facebook, Instagram, Instagram Stories, REELS, twitter, just to name a few, are highly recognizable through our custom colour coded Team branding. Your home will stand out and be noticed, and don’t worry if you are not that social, we got it all taken care of.
FLOOR PLANS.
In today’s fasted paced market, floor plans are an interregnal part of marketing your home. Buyer’s today almost expect them to be available the same way they want to see beautiful home photos.
A floor plan provides a visual flow of the home.
BROCHURES
Beautiful high gloss large 11x18 double sided Custom Designed Showcase Brochures are specifically created for your home and left for Buyer’s to take with them during their showing. Offering high-end photos, a floor plan, full listing details as well as highlighting unique features of your home and community.
Buyer’s could potentially see multiple homes in one tour and we want yours to shine. Making your home standout Above the Crowd potentially could mean the difference of a Buyer writing an offer on your home and not your competition down the road.
OPEN HOUSES.
If you love the idea of an Open House we’ve got all the tools to create a successful and well attended Open but ultimately it’s not necessarily part of our major marketing plan for your home.
If a Buyer is serious about buying your home, they will make sure to reach out to their REALTOR or us directly to book a Private Viewing of your home. This means only serious buyers are accessing your home in a controlled and safe way.
Don’t get us wrong, there is definitely a time and market to hold an open house and we are here to make sure you are getting the best exposure for your home.
