Marketing Tools

MARKETING TOOLS

Here at Bradford Real Estate, we use all the latest and greatest marketing materials and strategies available to ensure your home entices all potential buyers. See the list below of some of our potential marketing tools:

SIGNAGE

Each listing will have a Bradford Real Estate sign on the property.

Your sign has the Bradford Real Estate 24 / 7 Info Line phone number that potential clients can call to receive an information message about your property. This also serves as a call capture service which provides us with the potential buyer’s phone number immediately, so we can follow up with them to provide additional information or schedule an appointment to show them your property.

SOCIAL MEDIA

You can view listings using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. We provide and invest in extensive Search Engine Optimization marketing to boost your listings on the internet.

INTERNET

We have an extensive web page where all of our listings are posted at Bradford Nashville Property Search.

Each listing includes still photos and a virtual tour. There are also several points of interest to educate and inform people depending on their needs: All of our listings are also posted on Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Realtracs.com, Postlets.com, and Zillow.com.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATION

We will send a postcard out to about 75-100 of your closest neighbors, letting them know that your home is on the market in case they know of someone wanting to move to your neighborhood. Once we have sold your home, we will send a follow-up postcard letting them know that your property has sold and that they have a new neighbor!

HOME STAGING

Homes professionally staged sell 50% faster and for an average of 10% more than homes that are not staged. Buyers form an opinion about your home within the first 30 seconds of walking in the door. Many need to experience that “at home” feeling in order to gain interest in your home. We can set you up with a professional interior designer so that when touring your home, buyers will experience the emotional connection points that will make them say, “Wow, this is the ONE!”

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

We hire experts who master the creative side of photography such as angles, perspectives, and composition. They have complete knowledge of the technical side of exposure, HDR, supplemental lighting, color matching, and exposure blending.

FLYERS

Using our beautiful professional photographs, we will design flyers that will showcase your home in the best light. Flyers will also be distributed at Open Houses and left at your home for people to take after showings.

VIRTUAL TOURING

Virtual tours, also known as reality experiences, increase awareness, online traffic, quality leads, and in-person visits.

CREDIT REPAIR

We offer a comprehensive approach to repairing and restoring credit so that our clients or potential buyers can be approved for a home loan.

VALUE-ADDED SERVICES

Team service 7 days a week
