Therefore, we absolutely saturate the online market and invest heavily in internet-based marketing. There are five main sub-segments of online marketing:

- Classified Services
- Social Media
We have identified these sub-segments and cater to them as this specific plan allows us to attract the most property-specific buyers to our client’s property.
- We invest in High Definition professional photography, a virtual tour and a photo slide show to advertise your home.
- We invest in high frequency direct mail to many different neighborhoods. We are veryconsistent with our direct mail campaigns which help our properties sell faster.
- For our luxury properties we market in the Luxury Home Magazine that market directly to the niche 1%. This magazine is high end and is mailed directly to specific luxury communities. We also market in the DuPont Registry as well for specific luxury properties.
- We use effective yard signage which according to the National of Realtors, helped sell 15% of all properties sold last year. This includes a 24 hour hotline in which buyers can call or text at any time to get information regarding the property for sale. Buyers can also access the property specific website right on their mobile phone that we design specifically for every property we sell.
