Comprehensive Marketing Plan
Marketing on the Internet

Pictures, Pictures and More Pictures!

At least as many as the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) will allow.  Buyers want information and the old saying is true—pictures say a thousand words.

Multiple Listing Services

I belong to the following multiple listing services:
* Metrolist in Sacramento
* Tahoe Sierra MLS in Truckee/North Lake Tahoe
* RE/InfoLink in the San Jose/Santa Cruz/Monterey areas
 
Listing your property in an MLS is the building block for sales of all real property.  I provide the maximum number of pictures that each MLS allows.  I place my listings in multiple MLSs to ensure they receive maximum visibility.

SacBee.com

This is a local internet-based source for active real estate listings.  The source for this information is Metrolist.  The more information and pictures that are published in Metrolist, the more information and pictures that will be available to users of SacBee.com.

Realtor.com

This is a national internet-based source for active real estate listings. Its source is also the local MLS.  Listings from Metrolist, Tahoe Sierra MLS and RE/InfoLink are available via Realtor.com.

Lyon Real Estate’s Web Presence

Lyon’s www.rowlandfellows.com web site receives over 60,000 visitors per month and over 265,000 detailed property viewings per month.  It has special features on for homes that qualify for Lyon’s “Distinctive Homes Program” and the “Lyon Collection.”

Rowland Fellows’ Web Presence

On my web site, www.RowlandFellows.com, you will have a page dedicated to your property.  This page can be accessed through my home page, or directly using an easy-to-remember web address based upon the physical address of your property, such as: www.123OurStreet.com This page displays pictures and information about your home and will be publicized on every promotional piece I produce to sell your property. It also contains a link to the Virtual Tour that I prepare for each of my listings.

Virtual Tours

This is the closest thing to being there.  If the buyer is coming from out of town, this feature is indispensable!  The Virtual Tour is accessible directly from the local MLS, SacBee.com, Realtor.com, the Lyon web site and the Rowland Fellows web site.

Promotional Marketing

The Sign

The “For Sale” sign on your property will display the logo of the premier real estate company in Northern California.  Ranked 35th nationwide and 3rd in California in total sales volume, NorCal Partners has the reputation and marketing muscle to get the job done for you! 

Open Houses

This is a very good way to get your home exposed to the neighborhood.  Open houses can have diminishing returns after a few weeks in terms of finding a buyer for your home. Neighbors—in addition to open houses, mailings to and personal contact with your neighbors can be quite effective in identifying potential buyers for your home.

Marketing to Other Realtors

It is true that 80% of the real estate is sold by 20% of the Realtors.  Effective promotion within this group of Realtors many times will result in a buyer coming forward to purchase your home.

Talking House

This facility allows me to prepare a continuous marketing message about your home. I place a short-range AM radio transmitter in your home and potential buyers can tune in to a standard AM frequency to hear the message.  Potential buyers love it!

Advertising

High Quality Brochures and Flyers

NorCal Partners has the best marketing material production department in the business.  Professional photography, professional layout and professional reproduction make these materials worthy of representing your home.  Some Realtors create their own, substandard materials to save money, but I don’t.

Newspaper Advertising

NorCal Partners spends more on newspaper real estate advertising than any other company in this market.  This guarantees that your property will be advertised consistently and continuously until it is sold.

Exclusively Yours

Lyon Real Estate’s branded monthly real estate magazine is well known throughout the region.  Your property will be advertised in every issue until it is sold.

Lyon’s Distinctive Homes and Lyon Collection Programs

If your home’s listing price is over $750,000 or over $1,250,000, it may qualify for one of Lyon’s special marketing programs.  These programs have a special logo “For Sale” sign, unique flyers and unique brochures.  The “Gallery of Distinctive Home” can be reached directly at www.gdh.rowlandfellows.com.
