Coming Soon

• • The rules for how “Coming Soon” advertising have changed considerably since 2019.

• • • Coming soon rider on the sign post with For Sale sign, when allowed

• • • Custom website for your home with individual rider on the signpost (when applicable)

• • • Every reference online and in print will be pointed to the custom website

How We Sell It

• • Written in a language that will speak to the most likely buyer of the home

• • Most buyers want the facts: short & concise

• • Pet restrictions, if applicable

• • No real estate clichés

• • Community and local features

Ongoing Marketing

• • Weekly visits to the property to check on the condition, marketing material in the unit and in the box on the sign post, keys, and make sure it’s show ready

• • Weekly updates on competing properties and closed sales

• • Weekly updates on showing totals and feedback

• • If feedback is similar from each agent, and it’s something that can be changed, will adjust as necessary
