Our Dynamic Marketing Program.

Property Appraisal. It is vital that, right from the outset, you price your property correctly. Our first step is a free, no-obligation assessment of the sales price the prevailing market will bear. That is why our thorough knowledge of the market is of key importance to you. Our goal is to get you the very best price for your property, but we consider it a waste of everybody's time to quote you an inflated value, just to gain your patronage. Sellers who overprice their property generally experience frustration, and disenchantment, as they slowly, but inevitably, come face-to-face with the truth. It is far better, and usually more cost effective for you the seller, to price your property at a level where it will receive immediate attention from brokers, and buyers.

Coordinated Marketing Plan. When we list property, an analysis is made of how best to bring the property to the market. If needed, we will develop a special strategy to maximize exposure to prospective buyers. Such steps might include advertising in specialized publications, direct mail programs, or an on-line slide presentation.

Every property listed has the benefit of the following:

Color Brochure. A full-color brochure is prepared for each improved property listing, and copies are distributed to all qualified customers already on file, and to all cooperating Multiple Listing Service brokers. Copies of the brochures are always on display in our office, and are made available to all new customers.

Newspaper and Trade Magazine Advertising. You may have noticed that we spend more advertising dollars than most of the competition. We regularly advertise in The New York Times, local newspapers, and the Columbia and Berkshire County real estate buyers guides. Additionally, we target-advertise in trade publications, covering such fields as the antiques market, the restaurant and retail trades, and equestrian breeders and trainers. If your property requires a specialized program, we will design one.

Multiple Listing Service Entry. The Columbia County and Northern Dutchess Multiple Listing Service operates an on-line, multi-relational database service. It disseminates information about your property to all subscribing Realtors within a 600 square mile area. The MLS also provides print media to all brokers, and other related professionals. A key feature of the MLS is that cooperating brokers who wish to show our listings must work with one of our sales representatives.

Our Website. Arthur Lee of Red Rock, Inc.’s own, in-house webmaster maintains our website daily. The website is designed for maximum flexibility, and ease of use. It also features a direct link to pages dedicated to properties currently advertised in The New York Times. That is why it has become a favorite across the continent, and in Europe. Sophisticated software constantly monitors the hits to our site,and tells us how many there are, where they are coming from, and what visitors are looking at. That information is factored into overall marketing strategy for your property.

Other Marketing Devices. Roadside Signs continue to be a valuable tool. Our distinctive Colonial blue signs are well known in this area, and continue to bring quality customers. Open Houses are reserved for cooperating real estate brokers, as it is our policy to show listed property only to pre-qualified buyers. In this way, we control who enters your property, and eliminate those who are not serious customers. We arrange for the open houses to be conducted as part of the MLS tours, to minimize inconvenience to property owners. We can arrange an open house for the general public, if you wish. Direct Mail is constantly used. Whenever a new listing is obtained, sales staff distribute colored brochures, and factsheets, to active customers in their databases. Properties with unusual marketing requirements are promoted by specialized first-class mailings.

Customer Pre-Qualification. Your time is valuable, and so is ours. It is our policy, therefore, to make sure that only the financially qualified are brought to your property. We have a very strong relationship with local financial institutions, and mortgage brokers, and regularly use their services to determine financial capability. You may count on us to handle this delicate question with care.
