Marketing Homes for Maximum Exposure

The way buyers search for homes has changed in the last several years. According to the National Association of Realtors, a staggering 87% of buyers start their home search on the internet.  When you list your home with me, you'll get a broad, sophisticated marketing plan with a heavy focus on digital media. You'll also get professional photos (did you know that how quickly a home sells correlates to how many photos it has?) To learn more about how I will sell your house, contact me today.

Did you know that Frank Howard Allen Realtors remains the market leader in Marin County real estate? Our company sells one in every four homes - no other company even comes close. 

Online Marketing Advantage: Higher Positioning for Your Home on Google

Google is used more than any other search engine for researching real estate. When you hire me, your home will have higher positioning on Google and across the web, thanks to the power of Frank Howard Allen. That's because Frank Howard Allen posts all of its properties on three dynamic sites - Google Base, Trulia and RELO Home Search - in addition to hundreds of sites powered by MLS and print media. This gives our listings high placement on Google, increasing your home's exposure.


Home Staging and Property Preparation

  When you hire me, you'll get FREE home staging of furnished homes. This is thanks to a special partnership with Marin County's Picture it SOLD! Home Staging and Redesign. And because of it, our listings always stand out and get rave reviews for presentation.

Staged homes sell faster or for more money than homes left unstaged. Home staging is all about preparing your house for market so it attracts as many potential buyers as possible. This is achieved through decluttering, paring down furniture and adding that "wow" factor to impress potential buyers.

I also can guide you to make the smartest home improvements -- low cost fixes to yield big returns when you sell.


Personalized Property Website

We'll give your home its very own domain name and fully-designed website. This is a great place for buyers to see photos and additional information about your home, as well as a video of your home that we also post to You Tube. We drive people to your home's website via dozens of real estate websites, Craigslist.org (enhanced ad), local community group boards and of course a yard sign to capture people driving by.

Professional Photos: Quality an Quantity Matter

Curb appeal begins online. These days, with 87% of buyers turing to the internet to search for homes, photos are more important than ever. Buyers get their first impression of your home based on the photos they see online. If they like what they see (staged rooms captured by wide-angle lens photography), they'll take the next step and visit your home. But if you have too few pictures (less than 12), and they are taken with a regular digital camera, you aren't going to impress buyers - and they'll cross you off their list.

It's harsh! But today's buyers are more sophisticated and they expect more. As part of my service, I hire a   professional photographer to ensure your home is presented in its best light.
