We show our appreciation for your choice to work with us by keeping in touch with home sellers on a weekly basis, letting you know what we are doing to sell your home.

What kinds of marketing does Greater Cincy Homes use?
Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky MLS - Your home will be advertised on the appropriate Multiple Listing Service to your area. This is one of the most important tools used for selling your home. We take extra time to make sure that we provide every piece of pertinent information about your home so that buyers are given a full opportunity to learn about your home while viewing online and while touring the property.
Open Houses - When done the right way, an open house can create a positive buzz about your home. By utilizing an array of directional signage as well as balloons, advertisements, and online marketing, a successfull open house will get the word out about your home. Open houses are not required, but certain homes get more traffic through this style of marketing when early in the listing period.
Professional Photography - Since the majority of buyers are looking online, it is very important to provide a memorable first impression with the best photos possible. We pay our photographer to go though our listings with a wide angle lense and capture the homes best features. We spare no expense in marketing your home to give it the best first impression we can so that buyers will set up a private showing.
Staging - Staging a home for sale is a somewhat newer practice that allows your home to put it's best features on showcase to better appeal to prospective buyers. We pay our home staging consultant to visit your home and provide advice on furniture placement, paint color, decoration, lighting, and overall flow of the living space. Buyers in today's market are often attracted to living space that flows together and has a modern taste of decor. Allow our team of experts to shape your home its full potential.
Flyer Boxes - Most buyers will drive by a home that they are interested in before requesting a private showing. Having a flyer in front of the home with detailed information is just another way to try to build interest in your house. We include your houses domain name "www.123MainStreet.com" that directs buyers to your homes online information.
Our Yard Sign - We were purposeful in designing the sign that will be placed in your yard. Our signs are made of reflective paneling colored in red, white, and black. It is almost as if our yard sign tells interested buyers to "STOP AND LOOK" when driving by at night. Our sign can be seen on the home page of this website in a photo taken during the daytime. We designed our sign to be much different from most agencies black angle-iron signs. We wanted our sign to sit up high off the road and be visible from outer space. Well, it isn't visible from outer space...but you get the point. Another very important feature of our sign is that the telephone number forwards buyer's phone calls to all members of our team. This is important because you never want to miss a buyer's sign call. When a buyer calls there are multiple agents waiting to answer their questions about the home.
Internet Marketing - Since more than 92% of home buyers start their home search on the internet, top placement on search engines is essential. Your listing will have placement at the top of Google, as well as hundreds of affiliated listing websites around the world. This will maximize your exposure and bring a large number of potential buyers to view information about your home.
Premier Marketing on Top Search Sites - If you are interviewing agents, ask each agent if they are a premier agent on any real estate websites. Greater Cincy Homes is a Zillow Premier agent pushing your listing to the top whenever a buyer is searching in your area. We are also a Realtor.com enhanced listing agent allowing up to 30 photos instead of just 4 as well as pushing your listing to the top of the list when buyers search in your area.
Virtual Tour - Since so many buyers use the internet to search for their next home, they are also looking at homes with lots of photos. Virtual tours allow buyers to get a walk-through feel when viewing photos on your home. Your Virtual Tour will be syndicated to any listing website that allows these types of tours as well as the Greater Cincy Homes YouTube channel. Our sellers get a report once per week showing how many times your virtual tour has been viewed by the public and which websites those views came from. This is a feature that not all companies provide.
Blogging - Listing search websites allow photos and text, but sometimes there is just more to say about a home than we are given space for. That is why we take some extra time to post a blog about your home and what it has to offer. View the Greater Cincinnati Real Estate Blog.
Social Media - Your home's listing along with the photos and virtual tour will go on the Greater Cincy Homes Facebook Page and Twitter account. Your listing will be marketed to all of our followers.
