Advertising, Sales Promotion, and Signage are all part of the marketing program that I provide. I will custom-design a dynamic strategy and approach that accurately reflects and promotes the specifics and the potential of your home. My fully integrated promotional package includes the following services and activities:
Custom-Tailored Marketing Strategy
A tightly focused plan to reach the marketplace of prospective buyers through a comprehensive and balanced approach.
Professional Photography
Professional photographers for state-of-the-art aerial photos, videos and 360-degree virtual-home Webtours of your home. Visuals that sell.
Advertising - Print
Your property will appear in the Vancouver Sun’s Friday Homes Section. My brokerage, Macdonald Realty Ltd. has exclusive rights to a full page of colour ads in the Friday paper and, with a readership of over 380,000, the impact is hard to match. However, we also use the North Shore News, Real Estate Weekly and other print media as needed.
Advertising – Web
The Web is more than ever the first stop for property seekers (85%). Your property will be prominently featured on multiple web platforms to guarantee maximum exposure and to ensure that every member agent in the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (and their buyers) will have virtual access to your home. We syndicate your propery to an ever growing list (currently over 50) of national and international websites including:
- Petero.ca (my site)
- macrealty.com
- realtylink.ca
- mls.ca
- The Real Estate Channel YouTube, Trovit, Beimeifang Wu, Youku and more)
- Point2 (Craigslist, Kijiji, ebay, canpages, househunting.ca and many more)
Advertising – Signage
Not to be underestimated, the traditional For Sale sign placed prominently and attractively on your property still attracts attention and numerous enquiries. Yours will carry additional credibility by its association with Macdonald Realty Ltd., one of Canada’s longest established and most respected real estate companies.
Print Support – Feature Sheets
Details of your property’s ‘story’ will be outlined in a feature sheet for presentation to interested prospects. Property specifications, photos, and high-resolution floor plans will enable prospective buyers to picture a move-in scenario for their furniture and their family.
Open Houses
Although viewing by appointment (and I'm always present at every one....no lockboxes...no handing out your keys) are what sell most homes, open houses can dramatically increase exposure to the buying public in the first weeks.
