The benefits you receive when listing your home with Fran Gatti

My objective is to sell your home within 3 - 4 months, a lofty goal considering as of this writing, September 1st, 2008, most of the United States and especially California, are in a declining market.  The average days on market for sold residential listings in Del Norte County for July 2008 was 187 (see my current market report).  The average days on market for my sold listings are 127 days, or about 4 months.  

My sales result in shorter listing periods because I use all available market data to provide you a price range that will get results.  In addition, your listing will be blogged about on my blog and posted on the following websites:
 

Google Base         trulia     realestateshows        craigslist      active rain      kijiji

 

 Fran's blog     postlets.comLiveDeal.com        remax

 

hotpads.com          Oodle.com                realtor.com

Vast.com              zillow.com        Point2Agent MLS                   CyberHomes.com

and more...

In addition to these websites, I also utilize:

  • Real Estate Shows virtual tour for your listing, which will be linked to many of these websites
  • Web Commercial linked to your listing on the MLS
  • My blog on the Active Rain Network (a social networking site for agents that currently has 90,000+ members nationwide)
  • Web flyer from Postlets.com or RealEstateShows.com which I post on various websites
  • Flyers outside the home if weather permits
  • Open houses if you would like, although I discourage them (ask me why)
  • RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods ad in the Triplicate 
  • RE/MAX reflective sign in your yard, which has proven to be the most effective form of advertising yet!
  • RE/MAX national advertising
  • Enhanced listings on realtor.com, which receives 7,000,000 hits a month and my experience has shown it gets results
  • A comprehensive CMA (comparative market analysis) of your property before you list and throughout the listing as needed

Now, more than ever, you need a comprehensive marketing plan that utilizes many forms of advertising in order to get a timely sale.  You need to have all the facts about your market and how your home's pricing stacks-up against the competition.  You need a full-time agent who returns your phone calls.  You need an agent who is assessible to agents with clients interested in your home.  If you need to sell a home in Del Norte County, then you need Fran Gatti ~ I look forward to working with you!
