As a former real estate trainer I was fortunate enough to get to know thousands of real estate agents many of whom are still selling real estate in Maryland, Virginia and DC. Hundreds of those agents are still my real and/or Facebook friends, Twitter followers and a growing number are joining me in my Google+ Circles. I’m hoping for some real estate agent participation in the form of comments at the bottom of this post. I’ll mention a couple of things I do to market my listed homes. Please share a couple of your regular habits as well.

A couple of things I try to do with every home listed:

  • Professional photographs (usually DS Creative Group)
  • Not so professional video (done by me and my shaky hands)
  • Pictures always go to Flickr, Animoto and/or YouTube, my web site and the MLS
  • Inside color brochures and outside black and white fliers in a box on the yard sign
  • Disclosures and fliers avialable for download on this website and the MLS
  • Property Specific QR codes on all advertising (new for me) Another QR related post coming soon!
  • Regular postings on Craigslist, militarybyowner and social media of listed homes, daily activities and other items of interest.
  • Quick responses on all property inquiries

What are you doing that you feel are good ideas (so I can start implementing them too)?

Home owners, is there anything you would like done to market your home that you feel is important?
