5 Sure-Fire Ways We Attract Buyers to your Berkeley Area House For Sale

If you’re like most consumers, you probably search for that great deal in a house for sale on line, especially MLS Real Estate search engines. 90% of all home buyers start their home search on the internet. When you list with Chris, you can be sure that your home will have a vivid on-line presence reaching motivated buyers everywhere. That’s just one of the tools we use to attract buyers to your home. Here are the five most effective tools we use:

1. Our Web Presence

Your house for sale will receive prominent online presence.  Why is that important? Because more buyers are looking for a home on line than ever before.  The advent of the computer and iphone has put sophisticated search engines right in the hands of the buying public.   MyREAlert is one of the most powerful online home search tools on the web. Buyers outline exactly what they are looking for, and MyREAlert scans the MLS to find a match. The result is immediately emailed to the buyer. That House Detective (my buyer's site), my personal site on Coldwell Banker's internet venue, California Moves connecting buyers to the MLS, and This Site all enable buyers to search for homes just like real estate agents do! In addition, we market homes on Craigslist, Trulia, Zillow, and Facebook.

2. A Personalized Marketing Plan

We know it's not easy to put your home on the market.  It's a disruption to your usual routine.  We understand, and want you to know that your privacy and convenience are important to us.  We will make sure to set up Open Homes and Broker's Opens with your schedule in mind.  You will also have control over when you want agents to show your home (remembering, of course, that the easier it is for a buyer to see your home, the less time it takes to sell it). 
After arranging all of that, our team of marketeers will go to work to utilize the entire range of techniques from print ads to the internet, including a full range of on-line and social network marketing. In the end, everyone who might be a candidate to buy your house, literally everyone in the whole world, will have the opportunity to see your home looking its best.

3. Setting the Stage

 Remember when you were looking for your first home? Think of the excitement you felt when you saw it and "fell in love". Staging creates the perfect backdrop to a buyer's dreams, and, landscaping, repairs, updating also help woo most buyers.  We'll talk about what your home needs--and doesn't need--in order to garner the most positive reactions, and I'll guide you through it all with careful attention to your circumstances and comfort.

4. Virtual Tours

More than 85% of internet users enjoy Utube videos.  Only 0.087 realtors use utube.  We do, which means that your home will  have a wide audience of eager buyers.  Imprev is another online source our team uses that help buyers see every room of your home right from their computers or mobile devices.  An amazing iphone app puts a floor plan of your home online so buyers will be able to see if their furniture will fit in your home.

5. Preferred Buyer's Club

Like the Preferred Seller's Club, the Preferred Buyer's Club is A first-rate package full of perks and offers designed to attract qualified buyers.  

If you want to find a house for sale in the Berkeley area, go to  the best access to MLS Real Estate.  For sales of homes specifically selected for your needs and tastes, go to  MyREAlert!  To find real estate foreclosures and/or distressed properties, look no further than the links above.  They appear almost universally on the MLS.

And remember, despite all the information you can find on the MLS, savvy buyers and sellers turn to real estate brokers for the most relevant perspective on real estate values.
