Prior to Becoming a Valentine Property Team Client

 

  • Broker reviews the V.I.P. Seller Listing Presentation and provides Service Guarantees in writing to Seller

Once Listing Contract Is Signed

 

  • Client’s free home warranty coverage is activated by Broker
  • Home staging and repairs are completed by Client
  • All pre-inspections are completed by Client
  • Rooms are measured (for marketing purposes only)
  • Signage and brochure box are placed (as applicable)
  • Lock box is placed for showing convenience (as instructed by Client)
  • Full color brochures are developed, approved by Client, and delivered
  • Property is entered into Metrolist, the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) *Note: We do not load your home listing into the MLS or other marketing websites without photos; we do not want even 1 potential Buyer to skip your home because there are no photos online or in the MLS
  • Property is linked to nearly 100 websites and web portals
  • A virtual tour is created and uploaded to all sites that accept virtual tours
  • Broker emails a copy of the marketing from the major websites that the listing is posted on so Client can see what the listing looks like online
  • Talking House Radio Transmitter with signage is set up (as practicable)
  • Preliminary title work is ordered and any items that need to be addressed are investigated
  • VIP Buyers are notified about the new listing via our VIP Buyer Service
  • Marketing plan is implemented by Broker and assisted by Josh Graham, Marketing Coordinator, Team Courier and Photographer, Josh is responsible for:
    • Taking room measurements and photos for the MLS
    • Creating property brochures
    • Setting up all signs, brochure boxes, installing the lock box, and delivering all marketing materials
    • Setting up Talking House radio transmitter and signage
    • Delivering additional property brochures (on an as-needed basis)
  • Our Home Marketing Strategy is to increase the demand on your home by creating maximum advertising exposure to get you the most money in the least amount of time and without hassle.
  • Our advertising is unbeatable! It includes Special Feature Banners, Virtual Tours, Multiple Photos, and detailed property information, plus Buyers can schedule showings, map the property and print brochures online.
  • According to the National Association of Realtors Survey of Home Buyers and Sellers, less than 3% of all real estate transactions are sold as a result of agent open houses (on the listed property). In other words, the agent conducting the open house may get a Buyer lead from the open house, but that Buyer does not buy that house. Due to this fact and for security purposes, Valentine Property, Inc. does not conduct agent open houses.
