Our Premier Marketing

The MLS is a tool to help listing agents find cooperative agents working with buyers to help sell their clients' homes. Sellers benefit by increased exposure of their property. Buyers benefit because they can obtain information about all MLS-listed properties while working with only one agent. All Garry Real Estate properties are listed with the Midwest Real Estate Data MLS for maximum exposure. 

Realtor.com, owned by the National Association of Realtors, is the second most used real estate website in the country, second to zillow.com. Your Garry Real Estate agent takes full advantage of the features offered by realtor.com by enhancing your listing and marketing your home to sell. An enhanced listing is much more appealing and is pushed to the top of the search list, making it more available and attractive to qualified buyers.   

Zillow is the leading real estate and rental marketplace dedicated to empowering consumers with data, inspiration and knowledge around the place they call home, and connecting them with great real estate professionals. Zillow serves the full lifecycle of owning and living in a home: buying, selling, renting, financing, remodeling and more. Zillow operates the most popular suite of mobile real estate apps, with more than two dozen apps across all major platforms.

According to Forbes, the first impression buyers most often get of a home is from the photos in the MLS listing, which they automatically receive in an email from their agent, or the pictures that accompany an online listing. With limited time and countless listings to review, buyers will quickly move on if photos don’t reflect well on a property. Properly lit, high-resolution photos are the only type of pictures that should be used in a home marketing campaign. Like any other sales effort, it’s important to put your best foot forward.

Homesnap is the real estate industry's national search portal, featuring the same accurate, real-time information that agents use. Homesnap will immediately alert users to new listings, price changes and any other market updates in the zip codes they’re watching. Homesnap provides the newest listings all in one place so potential buyers can keep up to date with what's new on the real estate market. Users can also browse all properties in a certain location by using the search bar on the homepage. Once on the map, users can filter real estate listings by price, listing date, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and more. 

A customized website for your home is an effective online marketing strategy. It can showcase your home with photos, virtual tours or videos, and details about the property and surrounding neighborhood. This link can be shared to anyone, anywhere which creates an opportunity for more potential buyers to see your listing.

One of our premier marketing strategies is the tried-and-true yard sign. A Garry Real Estate yard sign in front of your house makes an immediate, positive connection with potential buyers who already know the brand. Our bottom rider sign allows potential buyers to know who they’re calling before they dial the number. 

44% of homebuyers use the internet to look for properties first. That’s right—people are heading to the online world, rather than traditional real estate offices or referrals from family and friends, to look for their new home. Using social media, like Facebook, is a powerful tactic to help sell a home fast.
