My MARKETING STRATEGY

Beautiful professional photos, a compelling storybook description, plenty of online visibility; these are only a few of the important things your real estate agent should be doing for you when you decide to list your home with them.

Selling your Home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in a lifetime. Making sure your home is priced correctly, presented beautifully and exposed to the highest number of potential buyers right from the start can mean the difference between a slow and painful waiting game to a quick and profitable sale! Choosing an agent who uses the right tools and technology to market your home properly is essential to making sure your home is sold quickly and for the highest price.

That’s where I can help. My marketing plan is designed to get your home sold quickly and for the best price. I don’t just stick a sign in your yard and let others do the work. My marketing plan is tailored to fit YOUR needs and to sell your home as quickly as possible with the least hassle.

Here are just a FEW of the things I do when you choose to list your home with me.

Get a FREE CMA on your home in 24hrs or less!

It's a SELLERS Market! Even if you are even just THINKING about selling, knowing what your home's TRUE market value is valuable information. Fill in your info below and I will send you a complete Market Value Report that shows you what it is REALLY worth in today's market.

LISTING QUALITY

I make sure your listing is ready before I enter it into the MLS. From the listing remarks to the contract, I sit down with you and tailor each contract to your needs. This is about YOU, not ME!

SELLER SERVICES

Need some renovations? A Handyman? Movers? I have a whole list of vendors that I know and trust that can help you get your house in showing condition, fast!

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

95% of buyers start their search on the internet. I want your home to look its best so I hire a professional photographer to showcase your home in the most attractive way.

AERIAL DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY*

My professional drone photographers will get the best aerial shots of your home so buyers get a birds eye view of the entire property including the outside attributes, neighborhood and views!

3D VIRTUAL TOURS*

My professional 3D virtual tours allow agents and prospective buyers to ‘walk-through’ your home before they even see it in person, which helps weed out the ‘looky loo’s’ and and encourage serious buyers, thus saving you time and energy on fruitless showings!

ACCURATE PRICING

Accurate pricing sells homes! Price your home to high and your home won’t sell. Drop your price and people wonder why your home isn’t selling and you look desperate. I am committed to making sure your home enters the market with the right price so you get interest in your home from the start.

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. I 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, I announce it via these online venues and then keep marketing it to update the status and keep it fresh in the public eye.

SETTING THE STAGE

Did you know that it’s a proven fact that staged homes often sell faster and for more money? Staging your home right is essential to getting the price you want! I offer staging services to all of my clients. I will go through your home with you, room by room, and give you suggestions to help you prepare your home for sale and make adjustments inside and out that will create a buzz of interest around your home making it irresistible to potential buyers. I also work with professional staging experts that you can hire to stage your home to perfection.

MOBILE

Last year, mobile searchers exceeded desktop users. In today’s market, more than 70% of home buyers will view your home from their mobile phones. I am committed to keeping up with today’s changing technology. When listing with me, 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 CRM’s and Email marketing, but I 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. I 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. I then receive data on the inquiry including the phone number of the potential buyer so I can follow up with them and set up a showing.

*Disclaimer: Some services are only offered to properties above a certain value. Please inquire with me directly for more details.

Ben Grotte is my go-to

Ben Grotte is my go-to for any inquiries regarding selling or buying a home. Ben is patient, knowledgeable, dedicated, and surrounds himself with the best in the business. I personally have worked with Ben during the purchase of my own home and had a flawless experience from negotiation to walk-thrus and closing. Ben not only made himself available at all times, but was able to increase my confidence and comfort during the process of buying a home. I would say you have nothing to lose and only to gain in giving Ben Grotte a chance as being your real estate agent.

If you need a realtor, call Ben!

Ben Grotte helped us sell our home and guided us through the process of building our new house last year. He was an enormous help in both endeavors, and he made the transition from our home of many years an easier one. His professional, yet personal, demeanor earned our trust so that we could focus on the move, knowing that he was handling all the details, explaining each step along the way. If you need a realtor, call Ben!

Ben delivered on everything

Ben delivered on everything he told us he could do in our very first meeting. He is personable, knowledgeable, responsive and positive. Our house sold after the first open house weekend. I didn’t think it was possible! And, thanks to Ben and his associates, it was the smoothest closing we’ve every had.

He sold our house in four days

We have used Ben as both a seller’s and buyer’s agent, and he has been helpful, knowledgeable, and has given us great results. He sold our house in four days at a price significantly over our listing price, and then when we went to buy our new house, he was able to get our offer accepted for significantly under listing price, and then walked us through the process of getting a construction loan. Through it all he’s been friendly and super easy to work with. We highly recommend him!
