We Turn First Impressions into Lasting Impressions
Let's face it. Real estate is a competitive business. Competing for buyers and sellers; competing against other properties; competing against other agencies and agents. That's why making a first impression is important. Making a lasting impression is even more important.
Our marketing material services build your brand and makes you stand out in a very crowded space. From property photos to listing sheets and promotional materials, we provide the distinction you deserve with professionally designed collateral. Whether you use our services or services from any other firm, don't settle for less.
We Make You Stand Out with Distinction
Sales material, about you, your business, or about your listings, isn't a 'nice to have'. It's a must have. The important thing to remember is that, if handled correctly, your collateral can be a huge differentiated advantage. Professional material not only draws attention, but is also keeps attention longer.
Sure you can print out a multiple listing sheet to leave on the kitchen counter of one of your properties. But compare that to a professionally prepared flyer. The difference? The professionally prepared flyer brings out the selling points of the property ... the things you want a prospective buyer to remember.
Professional Collateral Highlights Your Selling Points
The science behind developing effective sales collateral is something every Real Estate Professional can never afford to overlook. Sales material is a tangible expression of you and your Brand and deserves attention to detail.
Effective sales material not only looks good, it grabs attention and separates your property from all others. In addition to grabbing attention, effective collateral is also memorable.
A decision to leverage professionally crafted sales collateral within a comprehensive real estate marketing strategy is a decision to stand out in a competitive and crowded market.

REINFORCE YOUR IDENTITY
using a personal website to control your digital presence
Personal Websites
According the National Association of Realtors, over 90% of home and condo buyers start their search on-line and over half (50%) use a mobile website during their buying process.
In today's competitive real estate market, you can't rely on traditional marketing approaches. Personal websites provide a powerful platform for using inbound marketing techniques and creating an on-line presence integrated with social media.
Beyond the Broker's Website
You may think that your web presence is covered because you are listed on your Brokers website, or maybe even have your own page. But that's not enough.
With a personal website you're able to separate yourself and rise above the fray. A personal website is the perfect tool to provide relevant and valuable information to prospective customers and to become a valued client resource. And with a personal website you are able to use search engine optimization (SEO) to index your site so you can be found.

It's important that your website accurately reflects your brand and portrays your image the best possible way. Be considerate of the website visitors so they can easily navigate the site and get the information they need.

AND GET MORE BUSINESS ...
REFERRALS | LISTINGS | PROSPECTS | CLOSINGS
Digital technologies, including Facebook and Twitter, have had a tremendous impact on the real estate industry. The Digital Age has leveled the playing field, empowering all Real Estate Professionals easier and faster access to buyers and sellers.
But it comes with a price. Real Estate Professionals are finding it much harder to separate themselves from others in the industry. That's why Branding has become so important to successful Real Estate Professionals.
If you don't have a Personal Brand, you're a Commodity
A commodity is a product or service that is not distinguishable by the market. In a commodity market there is no tangible reason to select any one specific product or service based on differentiated value. This may be alright for produce in the grocery store, but it's a terrible position for a Real Estate Professional to be in.
Unfortunately, all too many realtors become a commodity without even realizing it. The way to avoid falling into the 'commodity trap' is to build a Personal Brand. It's priceless in the Real Estate business. Buyers and sellers have plenty of choices in deciding who to work with, your Personal Brand is the reason they choose you over someone else!
Beyond the Agency Brand
Agency Branding, in either large or small agencies, provides a comfort zone for most realtors thinking about the importance of having a Brand. After all, if they are associated with a large agency, the agency's recognition in the market is sure to attract buyers and sellers. Smaller agencies provide an alternative and must also attract customers.
But think about it. How is that distinguishing YOU, and how does that impact YOUR BUSINESS? Leveraging an agency brand has value, but that value is shared by others as well. The successful Real Estate Professional understands that and settles for nothing less than owning their unique Personal Brand. After all, a Personal Brand is priceless!
Building a Personal Brand takes a lot of planning and hard work. Left to form and take shape without guided structure, your brand may easily turn out to be a hindrance rather than an asset. Brands don't work on autopilot either.
If you don't take charge of your brand, you're missing a tremendous opportunity to grow your business.
We help Real Estate Professionals not only create, but also sustain their brand. If you want to build a new brand or strengthen your existing brand, the place to start is with a Personal Brand Audit. It's an outside-in approach to test the foundation and strength of your brand. The outcome is a specific road map to pump up the effectiveness of your personal brand.
