proud to call Fraser Valley home.

14. TALK ABOUT SERVICE!
EXECUTION: ACTIVE & PASSIVE MARKETING
Everyone (well, almost everyone) has marketing materials, but how many have a
professional graphic artist on staff? We use top quality sustainable marketing
materials for all of our properties. We employ active marketing solutions which
means we actually try to find buyers for your home instead of waiting around for the
phone to ring. Combined with passive marketing (MLS, flyers, Open Houses) we get
results! Visitors to our Open Houses know how to find us because we use more signs
than anyone we know and we use them strategically.
We listen to the market and react appropriately.

15. TALK ABOUT SERVICE!

COMMUNICATION: LISTEN, REACT, ACT
In some markets you can stick a sign in the ground, list a property and have it sold
within the week. This is rare, but has become pervasive in the mindsets of those of us
around the Vancouver market. While those of us in the Fraser Valley have seen
this happen a few times (recently in White Rock, but mostly throughout the boom
between 2002-2007), this isnt the norm. So we need to stay in communication whether
the showings are happening or not.
In addition to the good old telephone, we are utilizing technologies that
assist us in forming better communication with our clients.
No one gets left behind.

TECHNOLOGY: USING WHAT WORKS
Being a tech-savvy REALTOR速 isnt about how many Twitter followers you have or
how many apps you have on your smartphone. It is about sifting through the thousands
of services provided to our industry that can help us better serve YOU. While some
services we use help us market your property (such as QR codes), others are there to
provide immediate value to YOU - such as our recent partnership with DocuSign,
which allows legally binding signatures on all real estate documentation via an
electronic signature from your computer or smartphone!
