Internet & Conventional Advertising:


In today's real estate environment, internet exposure and conventional advertising are two very effective and necessary means of advertising homes and properties for sale.

How Effective is Internet Marketing?  According to the New Jersey 2005 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, a study commissioned by NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION of REALTORS (NJAR) and performed by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR),  77% of buyers use the Internet as their first resource in a home search. Recent figures indicate that nearly 30% of new homeowners first saw their purchased house online.

Excerpt from Article:
John and Veronica Melissas swear that the Internet helped them sell their home in Fair Lawn in two days, through their agent, Colyer, and his Web site.

"The listing went up Friday morning at 10:30," said Veronica. "By 7 that night, we had shown the house six times. We showed it 22 times in two days."

My Written Guarantee:

Thinking about selling your home?  The chances are good that you'll interview several Realtors before you hire one to market and sell your home.  You should.  It's a big decision - and you want to make the right choice.  

Before you lock into a 6-month listing agreement, make sure you get a marketing plan - IN WRITING - that offers you an "Unconditional Withdrawal" of your listing should the agent not perform as promised.  If you don't get it in writing, and you're dissatisfied with the Realtor you hired, you'll most likely have to work with that agent until the expiration of your 6-month contract.  And be careful!  There is a difference between an "Unconditional Withdrawal" and a "Conditional Withdrawal." 

My marketing plan is in writing!  If I don't perform as promised, I will give you an "UNCONDITIONAL Withdrawal" on your listing!  If you hire me to sell your home, I want you to relax knowing that you have hired a Realtor who will provide the highest level of professional service and expertise - one who will deliver the best possible results - "Sell your home in the least amount of time AND  for the most money!"
