Marketing Campaign

Website
The Harrelson Group has top internet exposure in the area. Your home is listed on several top real estate search sites on the Web, such as: Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, TheRealEstateBook.com, etc.

Our company Web Sites have had extensive search optimization to the point that 80% of the time a person searching for property in our area, they will hit one of our sites. Plus, we have affiliated businesses in financing and rental management, as well as others, that drive additional buyer traffic our way.

Every site captures information on users so our agents can actively prospect them. We have systems in place to handle over 200 leads a day. We convert the leads to appointments by having our trained agents prospecting the leads on a daily basis.

MLS Marketing

One of the biggest mistakes that companies are making in today’s market is that they are not using leverage to their advantage. We know that 90% of sales will come from cooperating agents in the MLS. With statistics like this, we must look at this seriously and capitalize on the 3000 agents that are working with buyers.

1. Email property flyer campaign to attract more broker participation.
2. Prospect cooperating agents daily to promote your property and increase showings
3. Monthly promotion through company newsletter.
4. Call all top producing agents in our MLS who have sold similar homes in the area..
5. Top of mind awareness! We take professional grade pictures to assure your property is represented properly.
6. Prospect by fax - Send a promotional piece to a minimum of 10 agents per day. This is done to raise awareness of our listings. In a 60 day period, we will have promoted your property to 600 local realtors.

Solicit Other Agents

1. We call agents in neighboring territories to participate in our referral program by creating incentives to refer their buyers to THG.
2. We call agents in Horry and Georgetown counties who have sold one or more homes similar to yours and offer referrals to solicit buyers.
3. We promote your property to the other agents in our office and give incentives when they bring a buyer.
4. We develop a list of features on your property for other agents to use with their potential buyers.

Out of State Agents

As members of the largest Real Estate training company in the country we have access to the Top Producing agents in the U.S.  Networking with these agents has produced great results.

Every week we market to a specific state.  We contact agents and inform them of the new property, pricing, and incentives, as well as  explaining strong referral fees paid for leads that we convert to closed transactions. This has proven to be very effective especially in these challenging times.  Many of these companies not only know of people looking to invest in the area, but they also have large relocation departments.

Active Lead Generation

In today’s market there are not enough leads walking through the door. We accept the responsibility of creating demand for your property and have assembled an effective lead generation staff ready to do so.

• Our agents actively and aggressively prospect and follow up on all leads five days a week, for at least two hours.
• List properties on Craigslist with a link to our Web sites.
• Prospect people who rent properties like yours looking for those ready to make a purchase.
• We promote your property to other owners in your community or building in hopes a friend or family member is looking to make a purchase in the same area.

Email blasts

• Weekly email blasts to top producing agents with a “Property of the Week.”
• Blast the flyer of every new listing to a database of 40,000 people who are interested in the Myrtle Beach area.

Communication is Success

• We discuss pricing, condition and marketing prior to listing to make sure we create the right sales strategy for you and your property.
• We are there every step of the way. We communicate a minimum of every two weeks to give you updates and activity reports.
• We update you every time your property is shown and share the comments of the buyer and the other agent.
• You will find out how the prospects feel about your price, the condition and more.
• We update you when other properties sell and discuss repositioning.

• We are always available via email and phone to answer your questions. We are quick to respond.

In Conclusion

Due to the above marketing strategies, we typically generate more leads in a week then a normal sales staff can handle. To assure proper conversion, we demand that our agents work full time and are available to talk to prospects 7 days per week. On a daily basis, we have 15-20 people making calls for 3 hours. This amounts to approximately 350-375 contacts per day. These leads then get filtered to the appropriate properties.

We Employ:

*Internet Leads
*Investor lists
*Move up and move down buyer lists
*Buyer Call-In lists
*Mortgage Call-In lists
*ARCH Telecom
*Rentbo’s – Great source of investors and repeat buyers.
*Local Realtor calls promoting our inventory.

In conclusion, we at Century 21 The Harrelson Group understand the current market and have made the proper adjustments necessary to produce sales and create profits during these very challenging times. We are committed to our client relationships and remain active throughout the entire process until your property is sold and closed. We request the opportunity to discuss your marketing needs and to demonstrate how we can get your property sold as quickly as possible while netting you the most money in your pocket!
