It's About You!
Our job isn't just about houses, but people. As Real estate consultants, we make recommendations to our clients based on their individual goals. More than 70% of our business comes from former clients introducing us to their family and friends. We want our clients to be delighted with the outcome, so it's important for us to become familiar with your needs before we go to work for you.
Listening - Working Together - Never a Sales Pitch
Our first step is to you listen to you and acquire an understanding of your unique situation. Then we'll sit down together and design a plan using our unique resources that will address your needs and position you to achieve your goals.
Correct Pricing is Critical!
What is your home worth today? There are many factors, and the best place to start is in your own neighborhood -- analyzing existing data of other similar properties. We will prepare a comprehensive Market Analysis for you, based on similar homes that have recently sold plus those that are currently on the market. Then we'll review it together to determine a competitive list price. From there we will implement marketing strategies to expose your property to as many potential buyers and their agents as possible. While your home is on the market, you will continue to receive periodic Market Update reports -- keeping you informed as to where you stand against the ever changing competition. If you like, we'll set up a custom search for your neighborhood or area. When a new property nearby comes on the market -- you won't have to wonder, "how are they priced compared to ours? "....You'll receive an email update from your automated search. It's a great way to stay on top of the competition.
Making Your Listing Stand Out Against the Competition
A picture speaks a thousand words. The Hoagland Team emphasizes quality pictures -- and lots of them! If necessary, we'll schedule multiple photo shoots to get the best lighting or new pictues to change with the seasons or holidays. We use these pictures on multiple websites, blogs, print advertising and custom color flyers. We also include virtual tours and video on YouTube. Buyers pour over the on-line pictures. In fact, when they finally call to schedule a meeting to see it in person, we consider it a second showing. They've already toured the home on-line so they're expressing serious interest when they call for an appointment to take a closer look.
Tonda also lends her interior decorating expertise to help you assess your homes strengths and weakness and then makes suggestions for low cost, high impact solutions which will help your property stand out against the competition.
Technology Based 
The Hoagland Team is e-pro certified, and uses the very latest in technolgy to maximize our marketing results, best serve the needs of our clients and to efficiently communicate. Meeting in person is always preferred, but when that isn't feesible, you can reach us by mobile phone, text message, email or fax. When our clients aren't available because of distance or circumstance (like out of town travel or vacations) or when it's simply more convenient for you, documents can be emailed and technology is in place to use electronic signatures.
