Emily Carter is committed to promoting your property to the largest number of prospective purchasers possible. I design a marketing program tailored for your property. Upon execution of a marketing agreement, I implement this plan. Elements of this marketing program include the following:

The
Internet. Real estate marketing has traditionally focused only on print materials, yard signs, and direct mail. The real estate industry is moving more towards the internet every day. As a result, sellers and their Realtors need to recognize how critical it is to market their properties online in a way that brings proven results (this is especially true of our rural market).Most buyers start their search online and then contact a real estate agent. My software system allows me to track exactly how many customers have looked at your property online, and when. No other media can provide prospective buyers with the critical information they want. Your property is presented with a well-scripted description, numerous high-quality photographs, dynamic virtual tour and accurate mapping. My internet marketing doesn't end with this web site. Your property is featured on the most visible national real estate websites including, Realtor. Com, Homes.com, Google Base, Cyberhomes, AOL Real Estate, Trulia, Oodle, Homescape, Hotpads.com, Craig's List and Zillow.

Print Materials. Your property is promoted to the buying public, real estate companies and agents with materials produced in-house with the capability to implement updates immediately.

Advertising. I advertise through a diverse group of publications with local touch and international reach. An advertising plan is customized for each property may include exposure in local, regional and national publications.

Broker Networking. I believe cooperation with local brokers is critical to marketing any property. All local realtors are sent updates on all properties and invited to preview properties at their convenience.

Lead Management Systems. As a result of successful marketing, a higher volume of inquiries from prospective buyers is received. Using a well-integrated software system allows each prospective buyer to be carefully followed, from their initial inquiry all the way to their eventual purchase. Thoughtful contact and communication with prospective purchasers allows customized marketing to target specific buyers and match them with your property.
