Choose maximum exposure when selling your luxury home More Exposure Means More Potential Buyers Choose a real estate company that believes in maximum exposure for your home not a company that limits your home s exposure to the most qualified buyers by keeping it private within their firm. A greater number of potential buyers equal a greater number of interested buyers. And a greater number of interested buyers brings a quicker sale and, in most cases, a higher sales price. Know the Risks of a Private Exclusive Listing A Private Exclusive Listing can sound appealing by limiting traffic to your home and promising a quick sale. But, in many cases, a Private Exclusive Listing may be in the best interest of the real estate broker and not in the best interest of the seller: Local, National and Global Exposure We maximize exposure for your property locally, nationally and globally creating awareness of your home and its unique value to potential buyers and real estate agents among all firms not limiting exposure by keeping it private. We're Everywhere Buyers Are Looking We reach more qualified buyers through our comprehensive marketing programs, all designed to reach the maximum number of buyers where they shop today. Simply put we re everywhere buyers are looking in print, online, mobile, video and more. Limits marketing exposure Limits the pool of qualified buyers and agents Reduces demand for your home
