Florida Real Estate - Online Marketing
The Florida Real Estate market has slowed down and prices have dropped considerably. However, during the real estate boom we experienced several years ago, many people became Real Estate agents in the hopes of making a quick buck and as a result, Boca Raton now has too many part time Realtors, who quite frankly do not have the skills to properly handle a real estate transaction.
If you view the purchase and sale of real estate as a casual shopping experience, then by all means go ahead and choose your Realtor for their looks, or call the friend of a friend's stay-at-home mom who "has her license" and have them drive you around Boca or put your house on the MLS - Good Luck! Hopefully you won't buy a headache, overpay for your next house, or sell your property for $100k less than it is worth.
If on the other hand, you understand that the purchase or sale of a home is a complex transaction with a lot of money at stake and you value the knowledge and expertise that an experienced Realtor has to offer, then give us a call and let us guide you through the process. Our knowledge of the local real estate market combined with our marketing expertise and superb negotiation skills will help you achieve your objective in less time and will leave you with more money in your pocket.

PROPER MLS PLACEMENT
Discount Brokerage has been gaining popularity in recent years. This stems from a misguided belief that simply gaining access to and placing your home on the MLS is the single most valuable resource available to a licensed Realtor. Technology has changed the way MLS systems operate as well. Similar to Internet Search Engines, simple inclusion in the MLS does not automatically mean your home will be noticed by other Realtors. With about 50,000 properties listed for sale in the MLS in Palm Beach County, it takes skillful positioning within the system to ensure that your property will gain the exposure it needs to get it sold. Once again, our technical know how combined with our marketing expertise will ensure that the system is leveraged in a way that will make your home stand out from the rest.

VIRTUAL TOURS AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Studies show that today's home buyers are more educated and do more research on their own. Properties are identified or eliminated before the home buyer makes contact with a Realtor to tour homes in person. Virtual Tours allow home buyers to learn specifics about a particular property early on in the search process. A poorly designed Virtual Tour, poor photography, or lack of a Virtual Tour and/or numerous photographs is simply selling yourself short. Yet, more than half the homes in the MLS have no Virtual Tour and as many as 25% have either just one or even no photos associated with the listing.

PRINT ADVERTISING
Although it is our philosophy that print advertising is no longer as effective a marketing tool as it once was, we continue to invest significantly in traditional print advertising. Such publications include local newspapers and Real Estate magazines, national news and periodicals and niche vertical publications.
