At Hill Realty and Auction, we are committed to offering the
highest standards of professional service to all our
customers. To assure you that your property is marketed
to its fullest potential and to obtain the highest
possible market value, the following will be completed
during the listing period:
| : |
Prepare a detailed Comparative Market Analysis
to establish fair market value. |
| : |
With buyers, first impressions count. Therefore,
I will perform a walk through of your home with
you and point out items of concern that a buyer
will certainly notice. By correcting these items
before we market the home, you will make a great
first impression. |
| : |
Prepare and sign the listing contract in person
if possible so I can go over every detail and
answer questions you may have. |
| : |
Enter
the listing into our Multiple Listing Service
with as much detail and extra photos of the home
as possible. All Realtors are able to access
this information for their clients and there is
nothing worse for a buyer’s agent to look up the
information and not have enough details provided
to “sell” your home to their client. By putting
in every detail and giving the agents extra
photos of the interior and exterior we are
maximizing showings of your home. Remember the
agents print out and email this information of
your home. So help me to provide them with
everything they need so they will want to tour
your home. |
| : |
Place a highly visible “For Sale” sign on the
property. Our Intracoastal signs stand out from
other signs as they emanate professionalism and
quality. After all the “For Sale” sign is our
greatest advertising tool. |
| : |
Promote the listing to leading Realtors through
office open houses, meetings, “Just Listed”
postcards, color fliers and email notices. |
| : |
Prepare a detailed informative color brochure
with numerous photos of your home’s interior and
exterior and list of details about your home.
Attach to it a survey (if available) or a tax
map plat showing the dimensions of your lot,
covenants and restrictions (if applicable), a
floor plan (if available) and any other
pertinent information pertaining to your home
and neighborhood. I display this information in
a notebook somewhere visible in your home for
agents and their clients to take. I also make
high quality black and white copies of the
brochure to place in a visible brochure box
beside your sign for buyer’s to take. |
| : |
Place a computerized lock box (where available) on the property
containing keys to allow Realtors to access when
showing your home. Lockboxes are secure and
allow me to monitor Realtor activity by tracking
daily showings. |
| : |
Virtual tours are available for homes that will
be best suited for this type of technology. I
personally attend the virtual tour in order to
select just the right position of the rooms
filmed. The tour is then uploaded and available
on 4 websites for buyers to access as well as
the MLS System for Realtors to access when they
view your listing. These tours have been highly
successful in the past as buyers are overwhelmed
with viewing homes on the Internet, this offers
just one more advantage for your home to have
one available. I also download your tour onto a
floppy disk and leave them with the brochure
book for buyers or Realtors to take as well as
have extra copies in the office to mail to
potential clients or for the duty agent to do
so. These tours are easily emailed as
attachments and I send them out regularly to
promote your home. |
| : |
Target
market by saturating your neighborhood,
potential clients, Realtors and move-up
neighborhoods with “Just Listed” Postcards. |
| : |
Feature your home in advertising publications
that have high reader statistics, such as The
Star News Showcase, The Star News Saturday Real
Estate Section and when warranted The Cape Fear
Real Estate Directory. On a rotational basis,
Intracoastal features homes for sale in Homes
and Land, Wrightsville Beach Magazine, Lumina
News and various other local publications. |
| : |
Intracoastal Realty is affiliated with
Sotheby’s, which provides maximum international
exposure for the high-end property. |
| : |
Place
your home on two websites for maximum exposure:
www.hillrealtyauction.com
www.realtor.com
On all of these websites, we can where
warranted, upload interior and
exterior photos of your home, the virtual tour,
detailed information about your home as well as
add language as to entice buyers to want to view
your home. |
| : |
Monitor the MLS System daily for new listings,
listings place under contract or sold and
withdrawn listings in your neighborhood and
surrounding area that influence the price or
marketability of your home. |
| : |
Arrange and monitor showing activity on your
home as well as request feedback from agents and
relay that feedback to you weekly. |
| : |
Every effort is made to maintain contact with
you throughout the listing period by informing
you of feedback, mailings of advertisements,
informing you of new activity in the area,
re-evaluating your CMA as needed, informing you
of current market trends and financial changes
in the mortgage industry which will directly
effect the marketability of your home. |
Hill Realty and Auction is open 7 days a week for your
convenience. There is always highly qualified staff to
answer the phones and a duty agent to help with
inquiries about homes for sale. Intracoastal Realty is
an agent driven company and hire only the best, which
makes for a successful quality support staff to make
