For Home Sellers
INTERNET:
Over 75% of all buyers start their search for a new home on the Internet. We make sure you are very well covered in that area. We maintain a company website at www.klassickeyproperties.com. This website is maintained by one of the largest web services and our listings are shown on their website www.z57.com and visitors are sent from their site to ours and automatically to our email address. Our website records the number of times your listing is viewed per day and we transmit that information to you.
MLS, Multiple Listing Service
We put your listing into the MLS (as most agents do) and there it is sent to www.GreatHomes.com, www.homeseekers.com, the Marin Independent Journal website, www.bayhomesite.com, the Press Democrat website www.pressdemocrate.com, Rapattoni Public Access website http://norcalmls.rapmls.com, www.Realtor.com, and Sonoma Index Tribunes website www.sonomanews.com/real_estate. Our agents are all capable of taking photos needed for these sites. We also have the in-house capability of doing a Virtual Tour for the sites that have them.
We can prepare an Individual website for your listing at www.(youraddress).com . And place a rider sign on your listing sign. This web site also automatically feeds into Goggle base beta, Trulia, Oodle, Propsmart and Edgeio.
The Real Estate Book
We advertise our listings in the countrywide publication The Real Estate Book. When we put listings in their book they allow us to place them in their website www.RealEstateBook.com. This web site allows us to place them in AMS, Advertising Management System
We place the listing in Zillow’s website www.zillow.com . An ad can be added in Zillow to show on Zillow’s home page for a small fee.
I also place a copy of the listing in my web site www.jimballenger.com. This website has all of the tools for buyers to calculate how much they can spend on a home and information regarding local schools and areas. My site also gives a list showing the statistics on who, how many and from where the visitors to the site come from.
Craig’s List
We also place ads in Craig’s List on the web for our area.
YARD SIGNS:
WE PLACE THIS THE FIRST DAY
OPEN HOUSES:
WE DO OPEN HOUSES AS NEEDED OR AS REQUESTED BY OWNERS
NEWS PAPER ADS:
We have found that listings placed in the newspapers are generally lost in the giant maze of the Real Estate section. The only ads that tend to stand out are the one with good-looking blonds.
If you want to see them go to your newspaper and have a look!!
OTHER ADS:
We place ads in Real Estate magazines, primarily The Real Estate Book and North Bay Homes.
