What I do After the
Listing Agreement is Signed
- Enter your
property in the MLS (this includes contacting various organizations and
businesses to make sure the MLS data is correct)
- Email a flyer
to the agents in my office, as well as all the agents in Summit County
- Place a sign
on your property (unless prohibited by your Association)
- Produce a
detailed flyer/brochure for your property which shall be available to all
Realtors and prospective buyers, onsite and in my lobby
- Place an
electronic lockbox on your door
- If your
property is on a rental program, establish a relationship with your
management company to maximize the number of showings
- Follow-up all
showings with a request for feedback from the buyer, which will be passed
onto you upon my receipt
- Take multiple
photos of your property, which will be used in online as well as published
advertising
- Advertise
your property on the internet (private and syndicated sites):
Breck4Sale.com
BreckenridgeBrokers.com
ColoradoMtnProperties.com
Remax.com
Realtor.com
Realestate.yahoo.com
Zillow.com
Trulia.com
Homes.com

(This list is a combination of my
local sites plus the sites discussed earlier in the Hitwise discussion.)
- If
applicable, contact your management company and association to obtain all
pertinent documents to the sale: Association Decs and Bylaws, meeting
minutes, financial statements, budget plans, rental history, rental
agreement. These documents will be readily available to all buyers, so
their questions can be answered in a timely manner
- Send a flyer
or postcard to owners in the vicinity of your property, to see if they know
of anyone interested in moving into your neighborhood
- Place a photo
and description of your property in the Breckenridge RE/MAX front window, to
maximize your exposure to buyers who like to “window shop” and to have a
flyer available in the RE/MAX lobby for buyers that stop in, looking for
property information
- Keep you
informed of recent listings and sales for like-kind properties, so that the
two of us can make any adjustments needed to stay competitive in the market
place
