Most agents agents will try and dazzle you with 20-30 things they say they do to sell your home. In reality, putting your home in the MLS, holding an occasional open house and placing an occasional ad is about the extent an agent will go to in their marketing of your home. The reason they try and convince you these things will sell your home is simple; they don't want to really WORK to get it sold. They want their broker to bear all the expense in exposing your listing and they have little or no investment in you and your property. Including their time. Most agents sit around waiting for a buyer to call or come over. This is called Passive Marketing.

I offer you my market plan. I believe in WORKING to get your home sold. You are paying me a lot of money in commission to work, not to just sit around. You deserve more than just a sign in your yard and an occasional ad. My staff and I prospect on the telephone and/or door-to-door everyday, actively calling over 300 people a day. Please ask any agent you interview to provide you with their daily schedule and their assistants. Ask them how many potential buyers do they talk to everyday.

1. Personally call and prospect for a buyer for your home, 5 days per week, 2 -3 hours per day, looking for potential buyers.

2. My assistant phone calling, faxing or emailing while looking for potential buyers on my listed properties, 5 days per week, 3 - 5 hours per day. Over 200 potential buyers called every week.
