subject: Marketing Homes Using The Talking House Transmitter [print this page] This is the story about how one Raleigh real estate team let's their listings simply speak for themselves!
Most real estate agents split their time between working with buyers and working with sellers. Yet today, many of us find ourselves, due to the economic swing of the real estate market, spending more time marketing our listings. With more homes on the market and fewer buyers in our cars, The Freeman/Davis Home Team with the Wolborsky Group at Allen Tate Realtors is looking at new ways to set our listings apart from the competition. One of those ways is with The "Talking House" system.
Our "Talking House" lets us paint a vivid picture for every prospect, talk about the special details that set your home apart, create the first impression that your home deserves and provide all the routine information every prospective buyer wants to know.
Here's how it works. A small transmitter sits inside the your home; it's safe and silent and nobody notices it's there. Our yard sign works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week encouraging people to tune in. And they do! The folks who drive by your home get to actually hear features that make your home special. Your home stands out, sells faster and for top dollar.
Take a listen to some of the recent Talking House recordings we've created:
We also create special web sites such as www.6729Middleboro.com to showcase your homes features online and feature our listings on Facebook. And our virtual tours, shot and produced by Raleigh RealtorRick Freeman are featured on YouTube.
In a "buyer's market," it's important that we give the seller every advantage possible. Regardless of how we implement our marketing plan, we can't change the current economy but we can make sure that your home gets maximum exposure.
Now here's what we have to say on our Talking House Transmitters:
Welcome to 6729 Middleboro Drive, your new home in the Alexandria Square town home neighborhood in North Raleigh. I'm Rick Freeman, Thanks for tuning in to the talking house radio realtor tour!
This is a rare opportunity to own your slice of a North Raleigh paradise at an incredible price. Surrounded by a buffer of trees (and friendly neighbors), 6729 Middleboro is Alexandrian Square's superb buy of the season, offering a serene setting in a location that's convenient to all that North Raleigh has to offer. This home is proudly listed and marketed by the Freeman/Davis Team at Allen Tate Realtors.
When you step through the front door and into this lovely home, you'll quickly appreciate the warm and cozy atmosphere. The floor plan flows from the entry foyer up to the formal living and dining area off to the left. The 16 x 14 formal living area, just off the two-story foyer, is highlighted by wrought iron pickets, a large bay window and flows into the 13 foot Dining room with stylish lighting accents.
The kitchen and breakfast area run the width of this entire home offering lots of space to entertain and prepare and share your special meals. This beautiful kitchen is as stylish as it is functional with granite counters, tile backsplash, custom serving buffet and center island. The counters are abundant, the cabinets are spacious and there's even a large pantry. Upgraded cabinetry adds to the beauty of this incredible space and the large windows insure plenty of natural light. Just off the kitchen and eating area is a large deck for enjoying the outdoors.
Before we go upstairs to the bedrooms, there more living area to share. 6729 Middleboro has a full basement complete with built-in shelves and entertainment center, a corner gas fireplace, beautiful hardwood-like floors and a full bath. An additional finished room downstairs can be used as an office or a downstairs bedroom. There's also a storage closet downstairs and outside doors to the back yard. This wonderful downstairs space makes the perfect media and entertainment area and will certainly be the place where everyone likes to gather.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms, including the spacious master suite, two full baths and a laundry area, combine to make an ideal living level and retreat at the end of the day. This living and sleeping level is relaxing, offering plenty of distance from the main levels and all of your bedroom and laundry conveniences on one floor.
Alexandria Square is a wonderful upscale North Raleigh neighborhood and is just minutes to Midtown, Downtown, I-540, Glenwood Avenue and RTP. There's over 2400 square feet of unmatched quality in this town home and just a step inside will reveal its pristine condition and extreme value. Hardwoods, upgraded carpet & tile bath floors along with ceiling fans, plant shelves, cherry cabinets and more are just a few of the many upgrades.
With all the uncertainty in the housing market, many buyers have been reluctant to make a move. While this may be understandable, it's not necessarily a good idea. Interest rates are at historical lows and if you have good credit and plan to stay in a home for a few years, you're in the perfect position to take full advantage of the current market. If you're renting right now, there's a really good chance your mortgage won't be any higher than your rent and you'll get a tax break.
