Bill Barrieau’s Marketing Action Plan

You want a superstar to list your property, just like you expect superstar service and expertise. Marketing is something I can say I do better than anybody else. Most agents will try to dazzle you with 20-30 things they say they do to sell your home. In reality, putting your home in the MLS, holding an occasional open house and placing an occasional ad is about the extent an agent will go to in their marketing of your home. The reason they try and convince you these things will sell your home is simple: They want their broker to bear all the expense in exposing your listing, and they have letter or no investment in you and your property-including their time. Most agents sit around waiting for a buyer to call or come over; this is called Passive Marketing.

Thinking of Selling Your Home?

Bill Barrieau and the home selling team offer you an effective time sensitive marketing plan. I believe in WORKING to get your home sold. All my clients will receive a virtual tour exposing their home on the internet to literally thousands of positional buyers. And I personally call and prospect for a buyer for your home, 5 days a week, 2-3 hours per day, looking for potential buyers. You deserve more than just a sign in your yard and an occasional ad.  Ask any agent you interview to provide you with their daily schedule. Ask them how many potential buyers they talk to every day.

Considering a Purchase in Real Estate?

There is a great deal to consider when purchasing property especially if you’re purchasing in a market you’re not familiar with. With my experience, I know all the right questions to ask so I can insure you’re locating properties that best fit your requirements and also clue you in on aspects you may not have considered. Not all buyers are purchasing for the same reason. If you’re an investor, typically, your eye is on the bottom line. Looking for a vacation getaway? Enjoyment and location may be more important to you. Raising a family and want to be close to a specific school? No problem! I can easily help you identify what your objective is and help you accomplish your goal even if you may not know exactly what your goal is.
Here are additional services you can expect when choosing me to assist you with your purchase:

Automatic Property Notification:

 It has been easier to find a property you can get excited about. Simply fill out a quick property profile and relax! Listings fitting your description will be automatically e-mailed to you as often as every day or weekly. When a property peaks your interest, give me a shout and we’ll make arrangements to see it. Please give me as much notice possible so I can make arrangements for your properties of interest to be available.

Extensive Market Knowledge:

 I know my market! I help you make the best purchasing decision by giving you the run down about prices, locations, general market expectations and so forth. In fact, if I don’t know it, I don’t do it but I know somebody else who does and I will happily share that contact information with you. Why? Who wants’ to work with someone less than an expert…furthermore who wants to be less than an expert at what they do?

Excellent Negotiation Skills:

 I can save you time, money, and frustration by offering information that will help you land the best deal with the best terms. It’s important to have someone on your side that can assist you. Sometimes agents mistake negotiations with a “lose-lose” mentality. Unrealistic negotiation expectations or clueless business savvy more often than not will make a deal hard to complete or in some cases downright impossible. I know that difference and can negotiate effectively even with others who have adopted this sort of theory.

Effective Communication:

 By keeping you three steps ahead of the game, you’ll know what to expect and what not to expect giving you the best opportunity to game plan from first showing to closing. Isn’t it nice to have someone else watching your timelines for you on contracts so you don’t miss important dates like mortgage loan contingency deadlines and inspection timelines?

One Stop Shopping:

 I have a network of people who help me and my clients to get a deal done on time and without a hassle. They work like I do! This means when you’re looking for a lender, attorney, inspectors, appraisers, surveyors etc. you can be assured that I have the contact information for the best person for the job. You may need to depend on lots of people to get your deal done and sometimes there’s nothing worse than when you have someone who doesn’t know how to do their job effectively. I’ve seen some service providers kill the deal for people and I can insure quality service regardless of what service you’re looking for.

A Straight Forward Approach:

 One of my favorite aspects about my job is giving you the information you need to make or in some cases, not make a decision. Some agents confuse this concept with a, “you need to do as I say” or “you’re on a need to know basis” mentality.  Not me! My job is to tell you what I know, I might even tell you what I think (if you ask) but when it’s time for you to tell me which way you want to go, it’s all yours. The bottom line is I respect your decision!
