3. Marketing Objective Better Homes Realty is where traditional advertising meets innovative marketing to get your home soldin the least amount of time for the highest possible price.

4. Maximum Exposure to Real Estate Community At Better Homes Realty we will expertly market your home in many ways: First we will advertise it to the real estate community. By exposing your listing to the thousands of agents in the area, all of whom are working with numerous qualified buyers, we maximize the probability of selling your home. By alerting the real estate community that your home is on the market, we are putting those others agents to work for you as well as ourselves. Since no single Broker sells more than 10% of their own listings, this step is essential.

5. A Buyer Calling On A Sign is The Strongest Buyer of All. Second: We market your home to the large buying audience. We place a distinctive “For Sale” sign on your property, letting the general public know that your home is now for sale. Many times neighbors know friends or relatives that would like to live near them. Many buyers find a home on the Internet but like to drive by a home before scheduling an appointment to check out the neighborhood.

6. Merchandising and Staging A buyer's first impression must be a memorable one. Curb appeal has taken on a whole new meaning in today's real estate marketing. Today's interested buyer not only can view your home from the curb but with today's technology the next owner can get a clear and accurate showing of your home with floor plans, aerial views, virtual tours and scores of photographs from the luxury of their own home or office. The Better Homes Realty Home Merchandising System was designed in New Jersey and is now used nationally to enhance the value of a property through merchandising before the actual marketing plan begins. The Merchandising System is comprised of videos and print materials which guide the homeowner through a variety of inexpensive and free projects designed to make their home more presentable for showing. Our partnership with First Impressions Homes will assist you in preparing your home for sale. First Impression Homes

7. Pricing Your Home Setting the price correctly from the beginning of the sale process is one of the most important elements in successfully marketing your home. Listen to your Real Estate Professional as they guide you in the pricing strategy. They understand today’s challenging and ever-changing market conditions. Your Better Homes agent will complete a CMA (comparative market analysis) and let you know the most realistic and fair price to market your home. As indicated on the graph the greatest amount of activity will take place in the early weeks of being on the market. It is imperative that your home be priced right from the start!
