HOME MARKETING SERVICES: I include the following marketing services to help you get the best price for your real estate in the least amount of time:
- Extensive Internet Advertising On More Than 20 Web Sites
I will advertise your house on my real estate web site LocateHome.com with dozens of extensive photographs of both the interior and exterior (usually three to five dozen photos). Your home also is given a custom description of its features on the internet through other web sites, including, FMrealestate.com (our local web site for Coldwell Banker First Realty) and HomesHQ.com (hosted locally by Forum Communications).
Your home can be found by buyers nationwide through search functions on many web sites, including REALTOR.com (where I post dozens of photos, compared to most listings which have a maximum of four photos), Homes.com and ColdwellBanker.com, in addition to those who easily find my site LocateHome.com through internet search engines, where my web site ranks highly for many search terms.
