So You've Got A Home To Sell...
There are plenty of REALTORS® - here are a few reasons to choose me
Experience
I've been in the business for over 15 years, and have the knowledge and experience that comes with serving hundreds of clients in Sooke, Langford, Victoria, and surrounding areas - giving me insight into trends and pricing that only experience can provide. Combine that with a forward-looking outlook on the business, utilizing the latest in marketing techniques and technology such as electronic signatures, and I'll be your expert guide to selling your property.
Marketing
At the heart of this business, a good REALTOR® is a good marketer. What this means to me is making your property stand out among the crowd, and deliver the most eyeballs to your property online.
- The Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) - your property is of course listed on the Victoria Real Estate Board MLS®, instantly distributed to the over 1300 REALTORS® in the region and their buyer clients. This includes a listing on REALTOR.ca, the home on the Internet for Canadian real estate.
- Professional high-resolution, wide-angle photography: your home will be showcased by Matthew James Photo - truly the finest real estate photographer in our region.
- Aerial photography and videography - Licensed by Transport Canada and using my DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone/UAV, I am able to capture gorgeous aerial photos and videos of your home. Especially useful for view, acreage, and waterfront properties, this powerful visual tool is an asset for any property in our beautiful region.
- Professionally drawn colour floor plans: Extremely accurate, and a necessity for today's buyers - is a quality floor plan so they can more easily envision themselves in the space.
- REALTOR® tour - where available, your home will be featured on the agent tour - where the top-producing REALTORS® visit new listings - we do this to view homes that might suit buyers we're working with.
- Facebook advertising: I own one of Sooke's most popular Facebook Page. With 2500 subcribers, What The Sooke?! has become a powerful marketing platform I use to advertise my listings and engage with potential buyers. The ads get liked, shared, and commented on regularly, which increases their reach. For a case study on my facebook ads, click here.
