Top Of The Line Marketing
At Eximus Real Estate Team we want to make sure that your home sells as fast as possible for the best price! To do this, we utilize both the newest electronic programs, as well as some of the traditional, tried-and-true methods of advertisement. We make sure to get your property information into the homes and offices of the people that matter most.
Below is a summary of the ways that we find your buyer in the fastest amount of time.
Internet: We have developed a network of websites to effectively market our listings on the internet. Our main team websites (www.eximus.com and www.eximusrealestate.com) as well as www.randydyck.com receive as many as 100,000 hits per month. We take special care to diligently update the websites several times every day. In these websites we have also placed real-time monitoring systems that graph activity (hits) per listing.
Each one of the realtors on our team also has their own website where listings are posted. One advantage we have over the MLS and RE/MAX websites is that we can post as many pictures as we want, usually 10 to 30 per listing. We also post maps of your area, and virtual 360 degree tours. In our websites we offer multiple resources for buyers and sellers and easy ways for them to reach any of our team members (phone, email, instant message, contact forms, etc). In addition to our team’s websites we also use the internet by marketing listings on the MLS and RE/MAX websites which greatly increases the traffic.
Newspaper Ads: We advertise all of our listings on two full pages in every issue of the Real Estate Weekly and Review that features pictures, prices, and special features of our listings. It also advertises our website.
Bulk Mail Flyers: We mail professionally designed and printed flyers to every home in the Abbotsford area, advertising our website and the Eximus Real Estate Team. This attracts prospective buyers to our listings and all the details about your home, which are shown on our website, including photos and unique selling features.
Updating Information Emails: Every time the listing information for your property changes, such as a price adjustment, we send an email to all the realtors in our RE/MAX office as well as the other real estate offices here in Abbotsford. This way, your property stays at the top of their minds and they have the most up-to-date information about it.
Realtor's Tour: Once a week the realtors in our office visit new listings within the office, and we make sure all of our listings are on the tour. This way your home is more than just information on paper, and it stays foremost their minds. When realtors can better describe it to their buyers, there is a better chance they will come for a showing, and perhaps make an offer.
Hot Marketer: This is a high-tech computer program that generates catchy, animated advertisements and sends them to the email addresses in our address book. We create these presentations to advertise your home as a new listing, and also to announce updates to the listing. We then send them to all the people we know who are interested in buying, and to all the realtors with email in Abbotsford, Aldergrove, and Mission.
MLS or "Multiple Listing Service" This is the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board system that all realtors use to gain information on everything on the market at a given time. It includes up to ten pictures of a given property plus all the vital stats. It is the most important network of information for realtors, sellers, and buyers alike because it is totally comprehensive. The biggest disadvantage to For Sale By Owners is that their home is not part of this system, and therefore most serious buyers won't even know your house is for sale.
MLS has their own website where all of the listings are posted. This is an excellent resource that generates a large number of prospective buyers who are just "surfing" as their first effort in buying. Many of those prospects turn into real buyers.
RE/MAX Canada also has a website where all RE/MAX listings are posted with the same information and pictures as are available through MLS.
