Competitive Advertising Strategies

My 3 key Advertising Strategies:

1.  Internet Presence - it must look absolutely AWESOME on-line - as part of my service, I hire professional photography, staging, etc. which give my properties the best impression/number of views.  

2.  Pricing Strategy - there are many factors that go into determining the best pricing strategy such as location/neighborhood, layout/flow, key features, updates, etc.  Your property is unique and will be competitively positioned to get you the most $$.

3.  Amount of Exposure - my philosophy is to "cast a wide net to gather all kinds of fish" - your property will be featured on hundreds of internet sites (local, national and international), plus social media Facebook, Instagram, etc. 

Competitive Technology Strategies

I am affiliated with Coldwell Banker in Pittsburgh because they have unparalleled technology capability.  The capabilities include  property valuation programs, identifying where the buyers are most likely to come from, virtual tours/meetings, state of the art systems to respond to buyers in minutes.
