Below you are going to see in detail the sites that I use to market all my client's homes in Metrowest Massachusetts. This investment in on-line marketing has allowed me to provide my clients with results. In fact, while the rest of the Real Estate community was complaining about how bad the market was, I had another fantastic year covering local Real Estate.
One of the things I specialize in is creating a dominant online presence for my clients. When someone lists their home with me, I leave no stone unturned. If you are selling a home or condo in Metrowest Massachusetts, it will be found online when your hire me!
While most real estate agents hopefully have a website to market homes I have four of my own. Besides all of the real estate portals below, you will also see your home being marketed at Massachusetts real estate exposure which is my sister site. One of my favorite features of the site is the maximum exposure it affords all of my clients properties. One of the first things you will see when you visit the site is a large picture of all the featured homes that I am marketing. When clicking into each listing, you will get a quite a bit more information. The best feature of the site, however, is how quickly it is found online for competitive local real estate terms. You can have the best looking real estate website around, but if nobody can see it, then it will be pointless.
No other Realtor offers the level of Real Estate marketing that I provide all my clients!
