MARKETING STRATEGIES
Our goal is to be proactive when assisting you with buying or selling a home. We use all the latest advances in computer hardware and software, and the power of the Internet, while still keeping the traditional personal service and print advertising to help you with your real estate needs. Being proactive is the most effective way to master home marketing. We take an active, personal and positive approach to help our clients get results.

Using the Internet:

A strong online Internet presence is a must in today’s real estate market. At least 95% of Victoria buyers are using the Internet to do an initial search. We are updated every few minutes with all new listings on the MLS. Our new listings immediately appear on websites including our own and the MLS. Within minutes of listing with us, buyers everywhere will find your home for sale if it fits their search criteria.  We always include numerous high-quality colour photos of the outside and inside of your home, and virtual tours, and down-loadable floorplans so buyers can get excited before they view the property.

Our Telephone Hotline service:  We have a service utilized by only a small fraction of realtors, where our signs have toppers, and our ads have 1-800 number, where callers can access a free 24 hour recorded message detailing the features of the home.  We get great results form this service, and get to speak to many interested buyers from these leads.

Our 360° Virtual Tours & Down-loadable floorplans:
Clients who are selling their house through us are offered free on-line 360° virtual tours and floorplans on ALL listings.  We spend more money and time on our client's listings than anyone in town. 

A photo shoot and floorplan measurement takes place in your home by a professional photographer; it usually takes approximately 60 minutes. It is loaded immediately and automatically on the websites of the MLS, many Victoria area realtors, and of course our own. From then on any potential buyer anywhere can see all the best features of your house—interactively—at any time, day or night! It is also one of the best tools for buyers.

Free Market Appraisal:  We offer a free, no-obligation, detailed Current Market Appraisal on your home. We compare your home to similar homes in your area that have recently listed, sold, and failed-to-sell. We value your home at comparable market rates, and provide you with a detailed report.

Pricing It Right:  You want your home to be priced correctly. You want the maximum possible price. However, if the list price is too high, it may not attract the right buyers. In addition, after a while, there may be a period when buyers think something must be wrong with the house, or it would have sold earlier. You really do require a thorough professional market appraisal—based on facts, not hunches—to determine just the right listing price.

Our Showcase Home

When you list with us, your home will be featured as the Showcase on my website. We promote what makes your property uniquely desirable and highlight it for all prospective buyers to view.  We actively promote our website, and get lots of traffic.

Print Ads

All listings will be advertised in print. When your home is advertised in the Real Estate Victoria paper, or other publications, We include a hotline telephone code in the ad. Readers merely phone the toll-free number, enter the code, and get ALL the information including address and open house information.
 

Open Houses

We love holding Open Houses: they do attract potential buyers!

A Win-Win Style
There are three types of negotiations styles: adversarial, accommodating and win-win. As win-win negotiators, we recognize that every negotiation brings out multiple issues, possibilities and priorities. We like to respect and recognize those differences, and not just operate on a single line of contention. We stand for a strong, mutually beneficial agreement to see the sale complete to everyone’s satisfaction. We deliver integrity along with excellent negotiation skills.

Exposing Your Property To Other Realtors
All of our listings are exposed to other realtors, not only through the MLS, but also by "tours" where I take a groups of realtors through your home at a pre-arranged convenient time, and by a "broadcast e-mail" to all realtors in Victoria.. You house is also featured on daily "hot sheets".

Contact us!  If you are seriously considering selling your home, we will provide a fast, free, no-obligation Current Market Appraisal on your home. Make Deanna & John your first call! Or, if you wish, please complete and submit the on-line form below, and we will respond immediately.
