Marketing Your Home
Not all homes are created equal and neither are all REALTORS®.
What sets us apart is our attention to the highest level of performance
for our clients. It's reported that over 86% of all first inquiries
regarding real estate use the Internet. Therefore, we've placed
critical importance on the use of both technology and fundamental
applications to insure you the most satisfaction throughout the
process. They are as follows:
Property
Flyer - We prepare a professional marketing sales tool including
graphics and highlights of your home to distribute to the brokerage
community and potential buyers.

Listing Service (MLS) - Information about your home will be included
in the Multiple Listing Service, a database of currently available
properties accessible by real estate professionals.
Other Brokers/Agents

community to tour your home in order to find a buyer.

services, corporations, executive search firms, and fellow associates
who keep track of potential buyers and maintain relationships
