Selling Your Home

Using the Latest Technologies

Since the beginnings of my Real Estate career, my goal has always been to be on the cutting edge of marketing properties. I have a small list of homes inventory in my personal repertoire because of this. I don’t get property listings so they can sit around, I get listings to SELL them!! My goal is to get your home or property sold and I will go out of my way and bend over backwards to see that that happens. When I first obtained my Real Estate license, many, many years ago, I went out and bought the latest and greatest compuer and digital camera so I could market off the charts. Today’s marketing needs to be way different from back then. In fact today’s marketing is way different than it was just a year ago.  With all the new technologies and websites, properties must be marketed by what some would call a computer and SEO expert and that is what I have become, an expert web based marketer. Invite me over to talk about putting your home or other property on the market and I will show this to you on my own laptop or on your own home computer. Sucessful ways to market homes and other real estate are CONSTANTLY changing and I stay on top of it. For instance, according to the National Association of REALTORS 87% of homebuyers use the Internet for an information source. As mentioned above, I use the Internet extensively. Besides the traditional and common marketing tools like putting a color yard sign up and entering your property into MLS, we do multi-site blogs, property podcasts that we syndicate, and Text Messaging on all Listings.

Drive Buy Technologies provides our Text Messaging. For an example, text message the message the word “sky” to the number 88000. We do not charge but your phone provider’s standard rates will apply.

Education and Experience

Active Rain is just one of the many blog sites I use. Look for AustinREALTORlady.

Additionally, I have had special marketing training such as from the nationally known firm of Hobbs Herder as well as being a graduate of both of Floyd Wickman’s advanced sales programs- “Sweathogs” and “Starmakers”. My degree in Psychology (presented “with HONORS”), Master’s level training in Counseling as well as my years of experience as a REALTOR® make me a skillful negotiator and marketer. I also hold the GRI- Graduate REALTOR® Institute, as well as a Senior Real Estate Specialist, SRES®, designations so I work very well in meeting the needs of Senior Citizens. I am a GREEN REALTOR® or EcoBroker® with lots of experience and knowledge in selling homes with energy efficient features, total rainwater collection, low or no VOC materials and other green features.

All this special training I have PLUS the use of the latest technologies have made it possible for me to specialize in getting my clients the most money for their property, with the least hassle and in the least amount of time.  My track record shows that an above average portion of my residential properties sell in much less than average marketing time and for more than average sales price. I provide superior, personalized service. I have the time and expertise to get results!

Staging

Mini “Appraisal” or Comparative Market Analysis

I use the same valuable tools appraisals use in performing a professional appraisal- the freshest market data from the Austin Board of REALTORs MLS system. We all know that good things happen to the home that is prepared well & priced right! If you are thinking about selling, call me for an evaluation. Let me help you prevent costly mistakes in preparing your home for market. Certain things add value and certain things detract or take away value. I work with buyers and sellers and I know what buyers are looking for.

We have a great program for video marketing using You Tube and other venues. Besides my You Tube channel, we also have a company You Tube as well.

I’m looking for people who want to sell their home, lot or ranch in our current Real Estate marketplace!

Texas is a Non-Disclosure State. This means that you cannot easily obtain SOLD data to get comparable values for your property. I can help you with that when you need the data to price your property to sell.
