Proactive marketing and 3D home tours can make your listing stand out, and we’re here to help you do it right.
How can you capture the attention of homebuyers in today’s competitive market? With an increasing number of homes available, standing out is crucial if you want to sell your house for more money. Here are some tips to make your house the obvious choice over other houses in the neighborhood:
1 – Focus on marketing. Is your agent following the traditional real estate plan where they place a sign in the yard, put your listing on the MLS, and then pray and hope for the best? We call this the “three P’s:” place, put, and pray.
While we follow the three P’s, we take it a step further by adding a fourth P: proactive marketing. We actively reach out to the community because four out of 10 homes sell due to recommendations from family, friends, or coworkers. This means it’s not just me or my 25-plus agents looking for buyers; it’s the entire community getting involved.
We also have a Bay Area buyer marketing plan. Many Bay Area buyers are selling smaller homes for much higher prices and moving to the Sacramento region because it’s more affordable.
Lastly, make sure you have professional photos and a 3D tour. We call these 3D tours the “always open house.” If someone from the Bay Area is interested, they can explore your home virtually, seeing the layout of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen, before scheduling a showing. Homes with 3D tours sell for more money 87% of the time than those without.

2 – Upgrade your curb appeal. Improving your curb appeal doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply hiring a landscaper to mow and tidy your front yard can make a big difference, even if you have some dead grass or weeds. Once inside, give your home a deep clean. Our team can help get your house show-ready right before picture day, ensuring it sparkles when it hits the market.
3 – Home readiness consultation. We offer a home readiness consultation at no extra cost to our clients. When I meet with families, they often ask how to get their home show-ready. I always respond that while I excel at marketing and selling homes, our properties typically sell for 3% more than those handled by traditional realtors. I’m not a staging expert.
That’s why we hire a staging company for a two-hour consultation. You’ll receive a detailed list of ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal and overall presentation. You can follow all, some, or none of the suggestions. Either way, you’ll have the information needed to make your home stand out and sell for more.
