Because your home is different from all others, so is the comprehensive marketing plan Tim and Cyril develop specifically for it. Their dynamic marketing strategy does not stop with the Internet, but combines the best of all available resources, the best of all media.

As part of Liz Moore & Associates—a proven leader in real estate marketing concepts—the Parker-Petrop Group is fully supported by the in-house Marketing Specialist who is available for the development of custom marketing materials for your home’s exclusive listing. These include:

• Custom designed direct mail pieces,
• Custom e-card embedded into emails to prospective homebuyers and high volume real estate agents.
• Professionally designed full-color, high-gloss property feature sheets,
• Continuous exposure in the area’s premier homes publications.
• Advertising in the local newspapers and other real estate publications,
• And more.

Once you choose the Parker-Petrop Group as your Listing Agent, Tim and Cyril have the market knowledge and real estate expertise to guide you through all of the other 101 decisions awaiting you.

But the first thing they do is remove the possibility of your having to make major decisions at the end of the transaction process when you’re under pressure to close. How do they accomplish this? By using the following to uncover any potential surprises:

• An independent appraisal,
• A certified home inspection,
• A termite inspection and
• A moisture inspection.

Because of the results they get, Tim and Cyril know their multimedia marketing and “no surprises” strategies work. A good example of this and of the extra effort these two make to ensure their clients are satisfied, is the home Tim recently listed for a widow who was downsizing. Three good agents before him had tried in vain to market this home successfully, for a total of three years on the market.

Tim made it a point to get to know not only his client but also her five grown children who are scattered throughout the country. He and Cyril marketed the home as described above and got it sold so that their client and her children could move on with their lives. Unlike the agents before him, Tim made sure that everybody’s needs were satisfied. And now that the home is sold and his client is settled in her new location, family members say they’re having a special reunion just to invite Tim and Cyril.

“Helping our clients buy and sell homes is what Cyril and I do every day,” says Tim. “We know the transaction process well. And we explain it thoroughly, answer all of your questions in detail and guide you through it seamlessly—from our first meeting with you all the way through the price and terms negotiations to the closing table ... and on to the day the moving van arrives in your driveway to move you to your new destination.”

“But even then,” says Cyril, “our commitment to you is not over, for we have become trusted partners with you ... your REALTORS® for life ... ever ready to care for your real estate needs and those of your family and friends.”
