OUR MARKETING PLAN

Photography and Video

Photography is one of the most important and yet overlooked aspects of selling a home. In today's digital world, buyers quickly sift through hundreds of photos while house hunting. It's paramount that we stand out, which is why we hire only the very best professional photographers. We will also strategize and bring in drone technicians and/or videographers and coordinate twilight photos to best capture and present in our marketing collateral.

Digital Marketing & Social Media

With the ability to target specific audiences and track results, digital marketing can help a property reach potential buyers more effectively than traditional advertising methods. From paid ads to email campaigns, digital marketing can help showcase the unique features and benefits of a property, ultimately leading to a more successful sale. You should be capturing the attention of buyers where they already are — on social media. By creating visually appealing content for platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, we can showcase our listings while reaching a wider audience. This helps increase our chances of finding potential buyers and provides them an opportunity to get their questions answered in real time.

Print Media

Beautiful, skillfully designed mailers are used to let your neighborhood know that you are listing your home for sale. The brochures we hand out are also professional grade and reflect the high quality of our team and your listing.

Personal Network

We are determined to connect sellers and buyers through our extensive network of top agents in our area and beyond. With a near 40% off-market sales rate, we will leave no stone unturned in order to accomplish our client's real estate goals.

We Do it Differently

The key to success is setting your home apart from other properties for sale — doing common things in unique ways. In fact, it's the cornerstone of our outstanding marketing plan. Our goal is to draw interest to your property and create a memorable experience for buyers and brokers.

Broker Tour, Open Houses & Neighborhood Previews

One of the most powerful ways to debut your home is by hosting a broker's open house, where we invite our network of industry contacts to tour your property. The sooner other brokers and agents know about your home, the sooner they can match it to their active buyers. It's word-of-mouth marketing at its best. We love to invite neighbors to preview our newest listings before the public open house. We encourage them to bring along family and friends who might be interested in owning in the same neighborhood. Our team understands that finding the right community is just as important as finding the perfect home. Neighbors can be some of the very best advocates for your property.

Testimonials

Working with Kristie on the sale of our condo was a great experience. We expressed that we'd like to sell soon with minimal hassle, and she really came through for us. After she explained options for updating our unit for sale, we opted for a "freshen up". She coordinated the updates with contractors she's worked with, so our unit was on the market and staged in five weeks at a very reasonable cost. After one weekend open house, we received two offers, one all cash after only three days on the market. She negotiated very favorable terms for us, again saving us expenses. Questions about disclosure and sale documents were addressed quickly and thoroughly. We were pleased that most of the paperwork was handled online, and the Title company visit was only 15 minutes. We're very pleased with the great outcome with minimal effort on our part. The whole process was six weeks from condo vacancy to funds in our bank account.

We chose Kristie Martinelli and team because we wanted to work with a woman-owned and led team that truly knows this community and delivers results. From our first meeting, it was clear that Kristie and her team are a powerhouse of expertise, strategy, and care. Their marketing, photography, and presentation made our home shine, and every detail was handled thoughtfully. They made the entire process feel easy and organized from start to finish, and we received a listing and had an offer within the same week. What stood out most was Kristie’s leadership. She brings confidence and clarity to everything she does, creating a sense of trust and ease from start to finish. She’s a pro who knows how to get things done and makes you feel supported every step of the way.
