Our Plan to Sell Your Home:

The Terri Taylor/Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors marketing strategy has three parts:  Preparing the home for the market, pricing the home correctly, and effective promotion.

1) Preparation for the Market

In real estate, “first impressions are lasting impressions”.  It is a mistake to show your property to buyers and agents before it is ready to be seen.  I will advise you on the things you can do to maximize your net equity.

2) Pricing the home correctly 

It has been proven that over priced homes take longer to sell, and often sell for less than their maximum possible sale price.  There is a “correct” list price (range) for your home.

As homeowners, our natural inclination is to overprice our personal residence for two reasons: 

	First, we know first hand all the benefits of our own property.
	Second most of us have an emotional attachment to our home.

Your biggest challenge as a home seller is to begin thinking of your home as a commodity.  It is going to be difficult, but make your best effort to be objective when looking at the broker price opinion report.  We will help you correctly price your property.

3) Effective Promotion

Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors uses a combination of Traditional and Internet marketing techniques to create a level of exposure unequalled by our competitors.  

Many Traditional real estate marketing techniques are still in use and remain among the most effective methods in the industry.  Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors understands which of these Traditional methods are the most effective and how to use them to benefit our clients:

	For Sale Sign
	Color Brochures
	Flyer Box on Sign

	Direct Mail to the Neighborhood

The Internet has transformed real estate marketing forever, and Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors has embraced the power of the Internet.  Your home will be featured on the below real estate web sites including color photographs, property details, and mapping:

       Realtor.com (Showcase Listings)      ColdwellBanker.com

       MyHomeAdvisor/MSN.com              Homes.com

       OC Register Website                     LA Times Website

       CampbellRealtors.com                   All Realtor IDX sites

       HuntingtonBeach-Living.com          AOL.com

       Wall Street Journal.com                 Homeseekers.com & many other sites

CampbellRealtors.com is among the top real estate firms listed in Google, Yahoo, and many other search engines for the Downtown Huntington Beach, Huntington SeaCliff, Edwards Hill, and Huntington Harbour search terms.  We also come up near the top for many other coastal communities.  As a result, our website receives thousands of hits per month.  The strong web presence allows us to have a virtual open house at your home 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.  Even a full-page advertisement in the newspaper (which might cost $10,000) cannot come close to the power of our website.

Photos, Photos, Photos  -  Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors has a professional photographer on staff with top-of-the-line digital equipment.  We guarantee that your home will look its absolute best for every on-line viewer who sees the home.  Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors will upload the maximum number of color photographs allowed by the Realtor MLS service.  Coldwell Banker Campbell Realtors has contracted with Realtor.com for Showcase Listings and Featured Listings in the 92648 zip code.  Our listings are enhanced and feature six photographs instead of just one.  Only about 20% of the listings on Realtor.com are enhanced showcase listings.

CampbellRealtors.com defines state-of-the-art for real estate Internet marketing in Southern California.  Homebuyers keep coming back again and again to find useful real estate information.
