When Marketing Your Property for sale, I will utilize all of the appropriate resources available, particularly the Internet. E-Marketing is extremely important in today’s internet-savvy world, particularly for those luxury home buyers who may be interested in relocating to the Los Angeles South Bay from another part of the country or the World. More and more home buyers are computer literate, and take the opportunity to surf the web in reviewing potential home acquisitions. Unless your agent takes advantage of this significant change in how people review potential properties for sale, they will be missing a large part of the real estate buying market. The following steps are taken by us when marketing a Property for sale:

  • List Property for sale on the multiple listing service (MLS), including extensive pictures and a link to a virtual tour. For properties on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the virtual tour will also be hosted on a dedicated web site at the domain name of www.palosverdesliving.com All advertising will refer to this website for viewing a virtual tour and receiving more information on the property. An example of one of my virtual tours is https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Mc52HCHkCKc .A separate marketing page will also be created on my website for the listing with property description, extensive pictures, virtual tour link, and information about the City in which the property is located.
  • INTERNET MARKETING: The Property will be extensively marketed on the internet through numerous internet posting sites, including Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Craig’s List, Postlets and Remax.com. For larger luxury estates, the Property will also be marketed on an international basis with Remax Renowned Properties, the luxury homes and estates marketing affiliate of Remax. My website (www.maureenmegowan.com) is also highly ranked by the internet search engines and The Property will be highlighted on my website as a Featured Listing My website contains significantly more informational content than other real estate agents websites, which makes it more attractive to those searching the web for possible real estate purchases.The Property’s listing information and pictures will also be posted on my web blog http://mmegowan.activerain.com.
  • Install Remax signage, with flyer box (if allowed by the local city regulations) at the Property
  • Prepare marketing brochure and flyer  (Click on the links to see an example of each)
  • Prepare mass email to over 800 South Bay brokers as well as approx. 1,350 high income Palos Verdes Peninsula residents from my own proprietary data base of email addresses.
  • Show property during brokers open house caravan during first week of listing, as well as additional caravans as necessary
  • Utilize extensive Remax referral network on both a national and international basis through Remax California/Hawaii and Remax International
  • Prepare advertising program, including advertising in local newspapers ( Click on link for example ), and the South Bay Digs Magazine( Click on previous link for an example ) which is distributed to 30,000 people in the South Bay.  For larger luxury home estates, advertise in regional luxury home advertising magazines and supplements
  • Host multiple open houses to the extent desired by the owner
  • Show the Property to prospective buyers via appointment and install a lockbox so that realtors can view the property with their clients, if approved by the seller.
