Managing the process. We understand that sometimes getting a home ready to go on the market can be a huge undertaking. The entire effort can be project managed by our team.

We do this by using special promotions, technology and our expert team to insure rapid response to information requests and showing schedules. Ongoing marketing and pricing strategies are designed to reduce market time and keep the property fresh on the internet.

Today, most home buyers use the Internet to shop for their new homes. Homes that look great and stand out of the clutter on the Internet produce virtual showing or online showings). These virtual showings translate to onsite property tours by buyers and their Realtors. That gets you closer to a closed home sale. Architectural Digest, Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma Home use professional photographers to photograph homes and you should too. See the examples of great work by our professional photographers and photo studio. See examples of impressive work by our photographers and virtual tour studio.

Your home will be listed in one, two or even three Multiple Listings Systems (MLS) and your property will never be launched onto the MLS without the best pictures. Poor photographs are a proven cause of failure in the internet home marketing game.

Your home needs to debut on hundreds of real estate websites fed by our nationwide Realtor listing sharing service. Custom web pages are created for your home on our brokerage sites and a host of other key websites. Even international websites aren't out of the question for our marketing team.

More than 75% of home buyers turn to the Internet to start their home search. We make sure your home is featured on the most visited Web sites where home buyers are shopping for homes.

What Affects the Market Value of Your Home?

Your property has many values: one to the tax assessor, others to your lender and insurance company, and yet another value to you, the owner. It also has distinct values to prospective buyers depending on their needs, desires and financial resources. Ultimately, buyer value or market value will determine the selling value of your property. We help you determine the value of your home based on its own merits, not what the house down the street sold for or how much square footage it has. It is a skill where experience and judgment are of fundamental importance - a skill we have developed over many years serving sellers of fine homes in a variety of price ranges. Some of the factors that can determine the value of your home are:

Buyers compare your property against other properties offered in the market place.

Property condition affects price and speed of the sale. Optimizing physical appearance and preparing in advance for marketing maximizes perceived value.

For example a vacant room restricts a buyers vision for their own potentially exciting lifestyle in that space. During an onsite property tour a buyer may focus on how the previous owner lived in the home rather than how they themselves might have a "new life" in the space.One of the best ways to help potential buyers create their own vision for how they might live in a space is to use the very same marketing techniques that successful home furnishing retailers use. Like Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware you can "merchandise" your home and allow potential buyers to have fantasy and vision for their own lifestyles in that space.

You know the saying: You never have a second chance to make a first impression. "The outside of your home is the first thing guests see," says Christopher Breining, owner of HomeStagers, Inc., in San Francisco. And like it or not, the outside speaks volumes about what's inside — and about its owner.

Breining suggests a quart of glossy paint in a bold, cheerful color for the front door (we suggest red), new hardware (or a little elbow grease to clean and polish the existing knocker, lockset, porch light, house numbers and mailbox), a fresh coir or seagrass mat, and a trio of seasonal potted plants on the landing to dramatically brighten and refresh your home's entry and make visitors feel welcome. This small investment pays personal dividends, too, giving you an emotional boost and a dose of house-pride with each homecoming.
