Let's assume you've done the smart thing and called some of my clients. Based on their feedback you've decided to list your home with me. Now, our goal is to sell your home for a realistic price in the shortest amount of time at the least possible inconvenience to you.
Sell Your Home with Professional Marketing
Successful marketing of your home begins with:
- your motivation and reasons for selling,
i.e., voluntary lifestyle change, relocation, loss of job
- what kind of home you are selling, and
i.e., location, style, size, condition
- the specific benefits of owning your home.
For the dog owner it is your fenced yard, for the family with young children it is your cul-de-sac location, for the commuter it is the proximity of the Park and Ride.
Having established reasons, property facts and ownership benefits
we can move forward with confidence.
- Your motivation and reasons for selling will be reflected in
the price and related incentives to the buyer.
- What kind of home you are selling will result in a
listing of all facts and features about your home.
- The benefits of owning your home will shape the
marketing message that will appeal to the likely buyer.
With the same confidence we choose the most effective means to get the message out. On the Web your home will be featured:
- on a separate page on this website, such as this
Bellevue Home and this Woodinville Home,
- on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) website, where over 35,000 local agents
search for properties,
- on Realtor.com, the national consumer site of the
National Association of Realtors®

Depending on our target market and buyer, your home will also appear:
- on a specially created location-specific website with its own separate page, such as this exclusive Redmond home
- linked from a custom website as a professionally narrated video or a more hip and short video,
posted to social networking websites like facebook, targeted to younger audiences.
- on real estate portals, such as Zillow.com and on craigslist.org where especially price-conscious buyers look for Seattle homes for sale.
- on blooging web sites, such as Active Rain, a network of nearly 70,000 real estate professionals and on my own real estate blog, called SERENE, SEattleRealEstateNEws.com
More traditional and print marketing is designed to complement the web marketing. Depending on the nature of the property and our target market it likely includes:
Depending on our target market and buyer, your home will also appear:
- custom-designed flyer,
- direct mail, such as postcards,
- open houses for brokers and the public, and
- signage
NOTE:
Marketing on the Internet is only effective when your home can be found for the search terms a buyer is using to find your home. See why Gerhard Ade's listings rank high and will be found in search sites such as Google.
