Initial Meeting & Consultation
Goal: Sell Quickly For Top Dollar
The sellers knew they had a difficult challenge to sell their home at a number that had not been seen before in the neighborhood. It’s a popular neighborhood without a ton of recent sales. They also went under contract for a new home in the state they were moving to. They wanted to hire a brokerage with a track record of sales in the area and that could sell their home quickly at this record breaking price. They interviewed and selected Moul, REALTORS.
Step 1: Capture the Property
Custom Marketing Plan
What makes the property unique?
Each home has unique features and our goal is always to identify and highlight those areas of the property that will ultimately help it to sell. In this case, the home featured an incredible outdoor living space. We knew it should be featured and had the photographer spend extra time in this area.
Twilight Photo
A twilight photo can capture the beauty of the property as the sun is setting. It helps the property to stand out and quickly grab attention when potential buyers are looking online.
Drone Photos
Getting up in the air is key to showcase an entirely new aspect of the property. It shows the area around the home and can help to sell the location. In this case, the house was close to the front gate and amenity center and so this was highlighted in the marketing.
Sneak Peek Video Tour
We filmed a quick sneak peek video to provide a little teaser for potential buyers. The videos typically start at the front of the home and walk through the front door and out the back. The video is then uploaded to our YouTube Channel and shared on Zillow, our social media page and other websites.
360 Video Tour
The latest technology allows buyers to virtually walk through a house with 360 camera technology. This is a great marketing tool to utilize to get buyers even closer to feeling like they are there.
Step 2: Market the Property
Social Media Post
We shared the property on our Facebook Business page, Instagram, TikTok. And ran ads on the platforms. Here are the results from just the Facebook post.
