Sponsoring Families for Xmas

Posted on November 22, 2009 by Bettina Reid

For the second year in a row, we will be sponsoring families in need for Christmas.
Last year we sponsored 1 small family, and there is no way to describe the feeling I walked away with after delivering their food and gifts.
After the rough year economically that we have had across the country, more and more families are in need and finding themselves in this tough situation.
This year we are sponsoring 2 new families who have never needed help like this before and we can only hope that we will help to make this a special Christmas to remember. Thanks to a great idea from the admin staff in our office, we held a 50/50 draw at our office Christmas party last Friday and have already started our fund raising with a bang! There truly is no better feeling than to give to others.
Merry Christmas, and my wish is for everyone to give a little this Christmas, even a little goes a long way!

My Favourite Marketing Tool

Posted on November 12, 2009 by Bettina Reid

The best marketing tool that I have found for my clients is the use of real estate photography. The first call I make when setting up a new listing is to SeeVirtual Marketing & Photography; they employ professional real estate photographers that are the best at what they do. All of my clients have been so impressed with the videos, photographs, and 360 panoramas, that I wouldn't even think twice about whether or not to market one of my client's homes this way. Not only do these photographers take incredible shots, they help to market the home on the web through their website www.seevirtual360.com which gets a large volume of traffic, as well as on Craigslist, Youtube, Twitter and more. This system provides my clients maximum exposure to help get the home sold quickly and for a higher price. Buyers especially appreciate the work SeeVirtual Marketing does when they visit www.realtor.ca, as they can truly get a sense of what the home looks like before they make that call to set up a viewing. If I receive a call for a viewing, my clients and I know that the buyers are serious and aren't getting out of their home for just a lookie-loo. It also helps in the negotiations, as the buyers have already seen the home at least twice.
The company continually improves its services by keeping up to date on the latest technologies. Recently they added Google's Street View as well as improved their floor plans to make them interactive with the 360 panoramas to give the user complete spacial awareness of the property. I use professional real estate photography and SeeVirtual's marketing tools with all my listings. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to learn more about how I market my clients' homes and give them the level of service that should be standard in this industry.
