When the time comes to sell your home you should make sure you hire an aggressive, experienced, and dedicated sales agent. After all, the idea is to SELL your home, not just to list your home for sale. You will find that I offer more selling services than any other Realtor in the Tampa Bay area. The marketing of any home basically comes down to what college professors and large corporations have been teaching & utilizing for many years: The 3 P's of Marketing - Price, Product, and Promotion.

Price: The selling price of your home is going to be determined by market condition and competition from other similar homes for sale. I will run extensive reports to arrive at the sales price of your home based upon local home sales, the length of time these homes sat on the market, and the number of current homes for sale that represent your competition. I will carefully review these figures throughout the selling process and keep you informed when an adjustment may be needed.

Product: The product here is your home. I will sit down with you and make up a list of items that need to be addressed to make your home either sell quicker or for a higher price. My experience in this area can net you thousands of dollars. It may be as simple as weeding the flower garden, painting the front door, or removing clutter from a countertop or guest room.

Promotion: This is my favorite part of marketing your home. I set myself apart from every other real estate agent in Tampa Bay area when it comes to aggressively marketing your home. Here are some of the things I do that make me a top SELLING agent.

• Your home will be a FEATURED LISTING on Realtor.com
• A virtual tour of your home will be produced & will also be featured on Realtor.com. This same virtual tour will be distributed on CD to neighborhood homeowners and prospective buyers.
• We will have an open house / pizza party during the first week your house is on the market to attract area buyers.
• Your home will be in the Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough County MLS Systems - there is NO OTHER agent who will (can) do this for you.
• Your home will be advertised on the radio through the Talking House radio program.
• I use an 800 number call capture feature for all of my home sellers. This way I can track every buyer who has called for information on your home.
• I utilize a brochure box on every home & stop by weekly to fill the box & discuss any activity on the home.
• I send out "just listed" and "just sold" postcards
• IN ADDITION...

Since statistics prove that over 80% of home buyers start their search on the internet this is where I focus my marketing efforts. Internet EXPOSURE is my specialty. I spend thousands of dollars monthly on internet advertising to attract buyers to your home. Here are the sites where YOU WILL find your home when you hire me to sell it.

In addition to the above list of real estate web sites I also participate in the Florida Association of Realtors IDX (internet data exchange) program. This fantastic program allows your home to be shown on other realtor's web sites throughout the ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Everyone knows a Realtor, but if you want your house sold quickly for top dollar you need an aggressive Realtor with advertising and marketing experience. Don't make the mistake of letting a realtor just "list" your house & let it sit on the market. Lets get your home SOLD!!!
