Why Hire A Proactive La Jolla Realtor?
If you're thinking about selling your home, investment property or other La Jolla Real Estate, allow our team to help make the transaction a smooth and pleasant experience. Our daily tracking and personal interaction with the community of La Jolla give us a complete understanding of the town.When you are selling or buying your home you don't want to hire just anyone! Hiring the wrong Realtor is one of the biggest mistakes people make. While being able to sell your property for the highest market value with the least inconvenience to your lifestyle, we also expect the experience of selling your home to be a positive memorable one. Part of what I expect is you to be comfortable referring your friends and family because you were completely satisfied and enjoyed working with us.
I can honestly say there are no other Realtors or Real Estate Teams who are providing the level of online exposure found here through the utilization of proper search engine optimization (SEO) and social media integration! When selling your home, internet marketing is a crucial aspect of getting a property sold and happens to be one of our specialties.
Your property will be found in all the top places that most buyer's would be searching for La Jolla homes for sale, including this website which is highly indexed by Google and other search engines. The idea of great real estate marketing is imperative as signage is not allowed in your yard! The outdated "Post & Pray Method on the multiple listing service (MLS)" doesn't work anymore and isn't enough to sell your home.
Additional things that help us stand out include exceptional professional photography, vivid descriptions of the best features of your home, along with video tour that will be found on YouTube, Realtor.com, Zillow, Juwai and the MLS. We also partner with high-end companies in the Village to feature properties weekly.
A few accomplishments that I am personally proud of include:
- Graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Marketing from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
- Played on an athletic scholarship at Temple University in which we were Champions of the A-10 Conference 3 out of the 4 years I played.
