SOCIAL MEDIA
Did you know that networking is the fastest way to get your home in front of thousands of potential buyers? Social media is important to getting your home maximum exposure. We actively network on all of the major social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, YouTube, and more. Once your property goes on the market, we announce it via these online venues and then keep marketing it to update the status and keep it fresh in the public eye.

We are committed to keeping up with today’s changing technology. When listing with us, your property will be available in a mobile-friendly format so that no matter whether a buyer is looking at it on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, they will be viewing it in a friendly responsive format that will be pleasing to the eye and easy to use.
TEXT MESSAGE TECHNOLOGY
Text technology is fast becoming the best way to sell homes faster! Many agents are stuck in the old days of CRMs and email marketing, but we know better! Only 20% of emails get opened, but 99% of text messages are opened and read! Your home should be easily accessible from a mobile phone for potential buyers driving by your home. We employ a text technology by adding a sign rider on your For Sale sign, offering more information by texting a phrase to a certain number. We then receive data on the inquiry, including the phone number of the potential buyer, so we can follow up with them and set up a showing.
