Our Special Efforts Make for Quick Sales Out-of-town Buyers usually make a trip to our area specifically to buy a home. When they come … They’re normally on a tight schedule with a purchase deadline and price range in mind. They’re likely to visit your home on a pre-selected tour of homes. Attracting them generally requires broadcasting information that they (or their Buyer’s Agent) will use to pre-select your home for inclusion in their tour. It also involves predisposing local Realtors (Buyer’s Agents) to show your home. Local Buyers, on the other hand, tend to shop during their free time … And if they’re methodical … Tend to pre-select neighborhoods before searching through individual homes. Serious local Buyers have their Buyer’s Agent alert them when specific types of homes come on the market in neighborhoods that they’ve pre-selected. They also constantly gather information to help target and refine their search. So it’s very important to feed them information … The more information the better. My marketing approach is tailored to reach both types of buyers by aiding their search … We live in an information rich society … Buyers expect to be able to access information about your home, promptly and at a time that’s convenient for them. That’s why I advocate starting with Reston-Homes’ Customized Marketing System and tailoring it to fit your individual situation. Most buyers are on the lookout for data about Communities … Homes … and Financing. We make it a point to feed these information urges. Think about your own case … How did you search for your current home? What information are you looking for about your next home? How are you going about finding it? If you’re not looking locally … You might start your home search on the Internet. So we make sure that your home is advertised on the Internet in Realtor.com and a host of other WEB sites. To catch buyers who surf the net by geographic area … We have a whole series of WEB sites at 'Dot-Coms' like Reston, Fairfax-County and Loudoun-County-Area.com as well as Get-Moved.com. We make it a practice to have our WEB sites feed Buyer’s needs for Community information. Doing a Great job of providing information via the WEB is predicated on building a sound base of information about your home in the local Multiple Information System (MLS). In our area, the MLS is called the Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS). It’s a networked central database which covers Northern VA, DC and most of Maryland. It contains pictures, map locations, factual and informational text and County Tax Record data. MRIS carries online Realtor access to the last 6 years worth of Realtor resale offerings. So … If you bought your home in 1995 or later … That transaction is visable in MRIS. Most of the data made available by MRIS is actually placed there by the Listing Realtor. MRIS is the primary data source used by Buyer’s Agents to cull out and then present information to their clients. It’s also the driving force behind the consumer searchable data made available in Realtor.com and other Homes Databases. So it’s very important that it be complete, accurate, and enticing. Ask me to show you some of my listings in MRIS and Realtor.com. You’ll be surprised at the data that’s available … And I’ll have a chance to show you the great job I’ll do as your Listing Realtor.

use to help sell your home. Let’s start with financing … I work with a
lender to develop One of the unique things I do is create an individual Web Page about your home and make it available to buyers 24 hours a day on my geographic Web Sites.

And I showcase your home in Realtor.com with extra pictures and special banners that offer users the other Web Page data … That way an Internet user who’s located in Alaska or Falls Church can get their hands on interesting detail about your home 24 hours a day.
