ENGLISH TEAM MARKETING PLAN: Sally English and The English Team are among the most successful real estate agents in Metro Atlanta GA. One reason is a Marketing Plan that focuses on getting your home sold. We don’t reveal all our secrets to the competition but you can see the basic game plan here: http://englishteam.com/seller-info/english-team-marketing-plan

ENGLISH TEAM CUSTOM SIGNAGE: We receive a lot of feedback from sellers and many tell us they think our unique signage made a difference in the sale of their home.

QUICK RESPONSE CODE (QR Codes) on Marketing Materials: Have you noticed those funny looking blocks on marketing materials? These QR code blocks can be scanned by iPhones, Droid and other smart phones with a QR app and the scan will take them directly to your listing url on the English Team website. How cool is that! We place the QR code on the signs in front of your house and on house flyers. A buyer can scan the QR code for your home and immediately look at 25 photos of the interior of your home, check the price, square footage etc

COLOR HOUSE FLYERS: Sellers also tell us we have the BEST house flyers in Atlanta. House flyers are printed in full color and are available both inside your home and on the INFO box attached to the yard sign. Some agents provide full color flyers but few post them for pickup in front of your home!

HOT SHEET FLYER ATTACHMENT: English Team listings are further promoted in a “Hot Sheet” print flyer attachment. Your home is represented by a color photo and detailed information along with 11 other English Team Listings in your price range. Any buyer prospect picking up a flyer at one of these 11 other homes will also get a chance to see your homes photo and detailed information. Our fellow agents also use this sheet to keep informed about listings in the area.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: We think our photography makes your home stand out from the crowd, especially when presented in color. Many past clients express their appreciation for outstanding architectural photography in our marketing materials. My husband Tim is a Nikon Camera and Lens fanatic – I think he took up real estate photography just so he good buy more Nikkor lenses and Nikon Cameras. His many years in real estate marketing give him a special perspective on the best shots for your home. When you see his photographs on the Internet you will see a difference between our presentation of your home and the competition. We do it better.

MARKETING BASICS: We do basic marketing stuff better than most everyone else. The basics are important:

FEEDBACK FROM AGENTS WHO SHOW YOUR HOME: Feedback from agents is so important we wrote an entire blog post about it. Reading the Tea Leaves Feedback from home showings We use a highly specialized software called Showing Suite, that allows you to see agent feedback in real time. We do not filter it. Some agents say some tough things to swallow – but better to read it unfiltered and direct so you can adjust to things that are obstacles to an offer. Sellers stay in the know 24/7 about showings of their home and feedback from agents.
