The Advise Nashville Difference
How will your listing stand out so you sell on time and for the best possible price?
Pro Level Marketing:
Your first showing is actually online! Because listing images can make or break your first impression, Kevin will hire a Master Photographer who utilizes a DSLR camera, professional lenses, and tripod. Their method involves capturing multiple exposure levels for every single image, and professional studio post-processing to create magazine-quality images of your house. It works to put your best foot forward, generates more interest, and translates to more showings.
✔︎ Professional Photos
Market the Location, Location, Location.
Kevin will create a map of area features to help show your house’s proximity to popular destinations like restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions that your target market will find most useful. When buyers know your area, they feel more comfortable making an offer.
✔︎ Map of Area Features
Posting the listing to a social media profile isn’t enough, and algorithms seem to filter out real estate listings for most scrollers. Instead, Kevin’s company flips the script by leveraging the algorithm to broadcast your listing to potential buyers who are shopping your neighborhood. These targeted ads engage buyers and offer them more information about your listing.
✔︎ Leveraging Social Media
While listing your house on the MLS is the best method for finding a buyer, did you know that around 20% of Nashville homes are actually sold off-market? Kevin is affiliated with Onward Real Estate, a network of 350+ professional agents in Middle Tennessee who are constantly matching off-market properties with urgent buyer needs. This exclusive network allows sellers to tap into a pool of ready buyers, often leading to faster, smoother transactions.
✔︎ Go Beyond the MLS
A simple flyer makes a big difference. To better showcase your listing’s photos & features, Kevin will customize a professional flyer to distribute digitally and in print, so potential buyers have more than just an MLS listing to look at. These eye-catching flyers ensure your property stands out, creating a memorable impression that generates more interest from serious buyers.
✔︎ Standout Listing Flyers
An interactive tour is a great way for potential buyers to spark their interest and schedule a showing. Kevin will create a 3D tour that will attract buyers who are both in town and out of state! These immersive experiences allow buyers to explore your house at their own pace, making it easier to envision themselves living there.
✔︎ Your Listing, Virtually Everywhere
Earning Client Trust
Understanding your potential earnings is crucial, especially if you’re planning to buy your next home. Kevin provides a personalized Closing Cash Forecast that estimates your net payout, factoring in sale price scenarios, closing costs, professional fees, mortgage payoffs, prorated taxes, and more. With this detailed insight upfront, you’ll be empowered to make informed decisions and plan effectively.
✔︎ Forecast Your Earnings
Kevin prioritizes open and consistent communication to guide you through your home sale. From meetings to calls, texts, and emails, he keeps you updated every step of the way. While some agents outsource the supervision of their sales contracts, Kevin personally oversees your transaction, ensuring a smooth and transparent experience.
✔︎ Open Lines of Communication
Comparing offers can feel overwhelming, but Kevin simplifies the process with a clear, side-by-side breakdown. Each offer is analyzed to reveal its true value, taking into account factors like appraisal scenarios and displaying net proceeds. This approach ensures you can confidently select the offer that aligns with your goals.
✔︎ Compare Offers Side-by-Side
Negotiating the best terms requires skill and experience, and Kevin brings both to the table. With over a decade of expertise, he acts as your advocate, anticipating challenges and crafting strategies to achieve your specific mission. You can trust his dedication to delivering the best possible results.
✔︎ Negotiating on Your Behalf
Details That Deliver
How you price your house is paramount. Kevin will take a deep dive into comps, price-per-square-foot metrics, market timing, review new construction nearby, and more. Once you have the full picture, you can decide how you’d like to price your house to sell in your timeframe.
✔︎ Beyond Comps: Visual Market Data
Kevin works first to define the target market for your specific listing. He’ll then meticulously craft a listing description that effectively appeals to those potential buyers. He’ll help them imagine their life in the house and thoughtfully highlight how the property's numerous strengths align with their unique interests and preferences.
✔︎ Listing Descriptions That Sell
As home buyers shop online, more and more people are using filters to find their next home. Kevin personally enters every detail of your listing into the MLS, ensuring accuracy, so your listing doesn’t miss any buyers who are searching for it!
✔︎ Accurate Data Entry Works
To help you receive the type of offers you’re looking for, Kevin creates a specific Offer Instructions reference sheet for your listing. Buyer agents will see details like your preferred closing date, or whether certain items will stay with the house or move with you. All of this is in a format that can be easily copied right into an offer form!
