Home Marketing Phase 1

Getting Started

The following are the steps we take to get a home on the market and let the agent and buyer public know it is officially “For Sale”.

3. We go over all listing and advertising paperwork and obtain a copy of the key so that we can show the property.

4. Robbie will arrange for his professional photographer to take photos of the home with 48 hours.

5. Once the photos are complete Robbie will install a sign, lock box at the property.

6. The home will be listed on all major websites and the MLS so that any agents and buyers know of it’s availability.

7. We will run targeted web and social media ads to attract 10 times the buyer traffic.

8. We will begin scheduling showings in order to have as many qualified buyers and agents tour the home as possible.

From the first time I spoke with Robbie, I was impressed by his knowledge of the area, his connections that helped get repairs completed, and Mallory who kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend this team. - Susan

I would highly recommend Robbie to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home. With us being first time home buyers, we had tons of questions and no question was to big or to small.Justin and Megan

Property Showings Phase 2

Robbie was great. I wish we had listed with him earlier, instead of trying to do FSBO first. He was very understanding and patient with us when we had concerns about adjusting the listing price. - Mike and Susan

We had a smooth sale using Robbie! Any questions we had were answered promptly and professionally. Their expertise was truly appreciated. We would highly recommend them because of their team approach. Mallory is FABULOUS!!! - Jeff and Allison
