Here are the Top 10 ways I get properties SOLD:


1. Extensive Market Knowledge- Experience and analysis is critical in determining what your property should be listed at. I will show you detailed information on the properties most similar to yours which have sold and are currently on the market. This Comparative Market Analysis will give us a price range in which your property should be listed and provide validation during the negotiation process.

2. Strong Internet Presence- Today’s marketplace demands a top Realtor that will extensively market your home. Since 85% of all prospective buyers begin their search on the internet, all of my listings receive a strong web presence. In addition to placing your property on my website and the Dunes Marketing Group site (both of which are top known resources for the Hilton Head area), your property will appear on Realtor.com- The #1 national consumer web site! I also place my listings on many International web sites including MSN Home Advisor, Yahoo Real Estate, Zillow, Craig’s List, Trulia, Active Rain and many more.

3. Extensive Print Advertising- In addition to internet advertising, I also use both local and international print advertising, since many of our international buyers are reacting to the strength of their money in our marketplace.

4. Targeted Mailings- Just Listed targeted mailings will be sent to the local community announcing that your home is for sale.

5. Buyer Open Houses- Invitations will be mailed for public open houses. In addition, your public open house will be advertised in the local newspapers.

6. Networking and Additional Exposure- I am an active member of several community boards and local volunteer. While I participate because I enjoy giving back to our community, it also exposes me to many potential buyers that might otherwise not be aware of your property!

7. Quality Marketing Package- A complete marketing package will be made available for every buyer to take home after visiting your home with color photos and copies of all pertinent documents.

8. Broker Open House- Agent exposure is critical when selling a home. I will hold a Broker Open House to get your property in the forefront of the brokerage community.

9. Constant Communication- I will notify you every time your property is shown and provide feedback reports on each showing. Additionally, I will provide updates on the recent market activity that may affect the sale of your property.

10. Focused Marketing- Details matter when marketing and that includes high quality photos and proper ad placement. Most agencies schedule only one photo shoot or send agents who are not professionally trained to take the photos themselves. Personally, I have been trained in all aspects of photography and have an extensive design and marketing background. I will assure you high quality materials in all aspects of your home marketing.

You pay no up front costs for my services. It is my job to make sure your home sells quickly and for the highest price.


I am so confident in my services and my specialized marketing and home selling tools that I provide a Seller’s Service Guarantee. If for any reason you decide that I am not doing my job to sell your property, you may terminate our listing agreement immediately at no cost to you!

Why hire me? Because I will work hard to sell your home, for as much as this market will possibly bear and within your time frame.
