  • How We Market

  • The successful sale of your home begins with a plan tailor-fit to your specific needs that is also compatible with changing market conditions.

    Your exclusive fully integrated marketing plan will include:


    A Strong Online Presence -The internet is an extremely important tool in our Integrated Marketing Plan. Your home will be viewed online through multiple web sites including:


    (1) Homes and Land Magazine - Reaching more than one million visitors monthly.


    (2) Realtor.ca - With more than 1 billion hits annually.


    (3) McGarrRealty.com - Our Corporate website.


    (4) OBEO - The source of the virtual tour and professional photography.


    (5) THEbTEAM.ca - Our own website.


    (6) Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other Social Media - We make use of all social media sites to promote your property.


    Virtual Tours - Whenever possible, we will bring in a professional photographer and Virtual Tour company to take photos and panoramic shots of your home, both inside and out. These professional photographs will be used across the board for all marketing. We feel strongly that the first impression a buyer experiences when looking at your home whether on a brochure or online, is critical. Check out a sample of the Virtual Tour on our "Properties for Sale" page.


    Free Home Staging - Differentiation is very important when trying to sell anything that has competition. If your home is one of several other options that a buyer has, your home must stand out. The presentation and "feel" that a buyer has when coming into your home should never be underestimated. We provide a Free Home Staging consultation so your listing gets off on the right foot. You may be surprised at the difference that a few hours of work and some furniture placement can have!


    MLS within 24 hours - Exposure is huge! Your home and all associated marketing and presentation will be available to our network and contacts, not to mention the many agents and their potential buyers. Your home listed on Multiple Listing System (MLS®) within 24 hours. This makes your home available to all agents with buyers in your area. Optional listing on other Real Estate Boards is available.


    The McGarr Realty Home Team - Consistently producing far above industry standards, we are a small but mighty group of successful and motivated agents. As an office, we will tour your home personally and be able to discuss it with clients or members of the public that express interest.


    Full Colour Brochures - During a home tour, a buyer may go out and see 4 or 5 or more homes in a row. When the dust settles and the tour ends, your home needs to stand out. We humans are visual when looking at a home so it is important that the buyer is able to leave your home with a professional, well presented brochure.


    Print Media - Your home will be advertised regularly in numerous print media outlets. McGarr Realty controls the back page of the Homes Section in The St. Catharines Standard every week which is arguably the crown jewel of weekly real estate advertising in the area.


    Behind the Scenes - We are constantly networking and following up on any interest or leads that should come to us regarding your home. We are both tech friendly and able to be reached by phone or email at anytime. Rest assured that when someone contacts us, we are able to respond very quickly and capitalize on any interest.


    Open House - The jury is still out on whether or not an open house can help. In our opinion, the ability of the agent becomes very important in an open house setting. The individuals coming in are all different. The ability of the agent to realize and recognize that by nature, we all react differently when walking through someone else's home is important. Furthermore, some homes require open houses. If a home looks ok from the outside but is a knock-out inside, our job is to get potential buyers through the door. An intriguing marketing presentation along with an open house can really help.


    That "light purple" sign! - Call it pink, call it fuscia, call it whatever you'd like! Our corporate For Sale sign stands out regardless of the weather. We will also insert an insert with our site as well. These days, we often get inquiries from people who drive past, look at the home on their Blackberry and then email us directly from the site. All from a simple drive by!
