 ( Sample pages from the marketing brochure for 85 Rockland St Holliston MA)            Real Estate marketing is the sharing of all pertinent information in reference to a property or topic.  With new construction, often the listing agent prepares one document to disseminate this information. With new construction, a real estate brochure is essential. Marketing a new home is not the same as marketing a resale property. With a resale, what you see is what you get. However, with a new home,builders want that home to have a pending sale prior to completion.This task is very difficult without a professionally prepared property brochure that fully describes what you’re receiving for your money. The brochure should have the following pages of information:A Cover Page with the front elevation ... 06/03/2017

 Providing a chronological series of photos and updates on construction is a requirement,when it comes to marketing a new home. There are potential buyers who visit the site but are not able to get there every day.   It’s important to keep them in the loop and totally updated, as the property is developed, and then the home constructed. We are in the early stage of lot development. The lot is totally cleared. Trees have been left in the perimeter for privacy, and there is plenty of land for a future, well-groomed yard for family to use. The day the lumber is dropped on the lot for the framers to begin construction is an exciting day. To watch the skeleton of the dwelling come together is the magnet that attracts potential buyers and their buyer agents.  The bones of the house is how it ... 05/23/2017

 Questions to Ask Real Estate Agents   A real estate agent devotes her entire workday to listing, reviewing, buying and selling property. It's not uncommon for a real estate agent to buy and sell homes in only one city or region. This is where real estate agents earn their chops. Their local or regional focus helps to make them market specialist. They know what's selling, where the best sells are and at what price. It could take you months, maybe years, to learn what an experienced real estate pro knows. Whether you're buying or selling your house, a real estate agent knows how to negotiate mortgage deals with lenders, other agents and house owners who are working toward direct sells.You deserve the right answers from your real estate agentYet, all real estate agents are not equally exp... 02/03/2017

 Get More Out of Your Home for Less  Buying a home is a major investment.

Similar to the stock market, it takes commitment to increase your home's value.Take the below actions and you could keep your house in good condition.Your home's value might also stay at peak levels.

Several older homes are covered with siding instead of... 01/13/2017

New Homes Listed in Holliston MA by The Todaro TeamDirect Mail Marketing is the "ideal marketing method" when a certain group of people need to be "targeted." Target marketing was done today to promote the latest two buildable lots that The Todaro Team just listed. The target was 70% of the single family homes in the town of Holliston. I decided to mail this postcard announcement to all homes with the assessment of $350,000 and higher. Many of those homeowners will not qualify for these two particular homes, but they may be thinking of selling. We not only have offered the two new homes, but also a Free Market Analysis of their existing home.  We will get plenty of mileage from this postcard and the database will be approximately 2,600 pieces.  That's good exposure for the two new homes... 03/14/2016

Loving The Clyde Family Two days ago this family lost their home to a house fire due to faulty heating system.  Fortunately they were not at home.  They only have the clothes on their back right now. They come from Holliston, MA and their friends have set up a page on Facebook to coordinate items they could give them.  Probably now the best thing would be give contributions of gift cards.  Consider liking the Facebook page  Loving the Clyde Family.  I cannot imagine what this would be like and I thought if we could get the word out perhaps others would like to contribute in some way.  There are two names of women who are taking dropped off donations or by mail tomorrow Monday 12/31/2012.  They could use gift cards but checkout the FB page and perhaps you would like to do something.   It... 12/30/2012

Flying High - After a real estate listing of mine that was put up for sale and just started showings on Sunday and went under agreement 48 hours later. Since this was a referral, the referring broker thought it was "awesome" and noted "very impressive work". Those are always good words to hear from your referring broker. Why though ....  did it go under agreement so quickly? Well, pricing, we know, is the number one way to get a home under agreement quickly and clearly pricing was an incentive here - Other factors were very helpful - like the home was READY - and showed very well, the neighborhood is sought after AND the marketing I did was very comprehensive and we built in a 7 day window of no showings to build up anticipation for the open house.  So yes, it was pricing primarily - bu... 02/15/2012

Kudos to the Holliston High School Students who sponsor and organize Winter Walk which is a 5 mile walk around Holliston with proceeds donated to end homelessness in Massachusetts. The proceeds of the Walk are donated to HomeStart, Inc which is an organization that works to solve the problem of homelessness in MA. HomeStart acts as a real estate agent for the homeless. They assign advocates to clients to defend their rights in court, They help develop payment plans for rent, and help clients acquire and retain housing. So it’s appropriate that a number of realtors from ReMax Executive Realty will be taking part in the walk on March 4th at 1pm. If you’d like to join us or cheer us on, the walk begins at the First Congregational Church in Holliston and all proceeds for the event will go ... 02/12/2012
