MARKETING PLAN

Brian Carion, RE/MAX Realtor

Owner of The MN-Houses Group

PERFORMANCE

Leading member of The Minnesota Real Estate Team; the #1 ranked RE/MAX team in the world (2013-2021). While we are ranked by the number of successful transactions, quality and customer service are what we’re driven by. Uncompromising ethics and devotion to our clients are what continues to foster our growth and past client referrals.

PAST CLIENT REVIEWS

I believe that a vital part of selecting the right Realtor to help you sell your home, is being able to research their sales and past client reviews. As a result, I make all of my sales and past client reviews public information to allow home sellers and buyers to determine if my skillsets and performance are in alignment with their goals.

STAGING

Properly staging your home prior to listing for sale can have a powerful impact on sales price and/or the speed of selling . With our guidance, many times we can work with the furniture and decor items that you already own, but if needed, we partner with two professional staging companies that each have a warehouse full of staging furniture and decorative items.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS

Have you ever come across poorly-taken listing photos before? If so, you likely realized the importance of high quality photos, and how they are paramount to a listing’s success. Wide-angled digital lenses, high-quality camera body, and proper lighting are just the beginning. Adjusting the white balance, shadowing and photo angles are just as important. We even have fly-over drone and digital video capabilities. Click here for some examples of our listing photography.

PICTURE VIEWING ANALYTICS

We cleverly embed tracking code into our professional photos in order to collect picture-viewing statistics for each of our listings. No longer does a seller have to wonder how their listing is performing! The statistics are shared with you weekly in a graphical format, and we collectively use this data to help us better position and optimize exposure of your listing…allowing us to “quantitatively” maximize sales price and minimize market time.

VIRTUAL TOUR

We create very polished virtual tours to give prospective buyers a feel for your home even before they schedule a viewing appointment. Visit the example tours below:

INTERNET ADVERTISING

Similar to how you found this very website online, your listing will be prominently syndicated across the internet. Your listing will be:

Syndicated to all local real estate websites
“Featured” on all of the national platforms (Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Yahoo Real Estate, Homes.com, etc)

“Featured” on the homepage of www.mn-houses.com.
Your listing will be ranked “organically” within Google and Bing search engines (by its physical street address).

RADIO ADVERTISING

Our team hosts two weekly real estate radio shows upon which we can feature your listing for unmatched exposure:

The Minnesota Real Estate Show, Saturdays 10‐11 AM on Twin Cities News Talk AM 1130
Minnesota Home Talk, Saturdays 7‐8 AM on ESPN, AM 1500

EMAIL ADVERTISING

Your listing will be promoted internally within The Minnesota Real Estate Team…the #1 ranked RE/MAX team in the world (2013-2018) for number of transactions sold. Our database extends beyond all other competitors.

PRINT ADVERTISING

Yes, there are still print marketing avenues that are used in the digital age. They may not be as effective as they once were, but they do capture some audience. We advertise our listings in the StarTribune Sunday Homes section.

OPEN HOUSES

We are happy to hold Open Houses for your listing, depending on your comfort level. Not every seller wants the general public and neighbors touring their home, but an Open House can be a great way to create local buzz about your new listing!

NORTHSTAR MLS

This is the main listing hub (on which all real estate agents list homes for sale). The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the basis for listing a home for sale. However, to make a listing standout, your listing needs to be advertised far beyond just this basic platform.
