During
2006, twenty-nine (29) DMG agents sold in excess of $5,000,000
of real estate. This number helped rank DMG as one of
the top three performing real estate companies in Southern
Beaufort County.
DMG sales agents regularly receive continuing education
at all levels of ability. DMG agents attend twice weekly
sales meetings and property tours. DMG agents are better
trained and more knowledgeable than most other Hilton
Head area Realtors.
DMG is a member of the Hilton Head Island MLS which has
more than 1,000 Realtor members.
Over the past three years, more than 60% of all properties
sold by DMG were also listed with DMG. We focus on our
listings first and foremost.
DMG advertises regularly and extensively in virtually
every major real estate publication in the Hilton Head
area, as well as the Island television station, WHHI-TV.
DMG sponsors special Island events throughout the year
to attract potential customers and support community activities.
One example would be the weekly fireworks event during
the summer at Shelter Cove Harbour. Attendance has been
estimated to exceed 15,000 visitors. DMG has an office
open at the Harbour and real estate information booths
at these events.
DMG has more than 50,000 prospective purchasers in company
data banks.
Approximately 30,000 pieces of direct mail for buyers
and sellers are mailed every month by DMG.
DMG sponsors mini-vacation opportunities for prospective
purchasers to visit and view real estate. These mini-vacations
offer reduced cost accommodations, golf, and tennis for
our customers visiting again for a “second look”.
DMG publishes four issues annually of Palmetto Previews,
a seasonal guide to Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, South
Carolina. The publication is mailed to approximately 15,000
property owners and prospective purchasers. In addition,
25,000 free copies are available in more than thirty locations
throughout the area and placed in guest rooms at hotels
and rental villas.
DMG is the #1 sales company on Hilton Head for the sale
of new developer properties!
DMG was the #1 sales company for villas in Southern Beaufort
County for 2009!

World (RELO), the largest relocation company in the world

in 20 countries doing more than 40 billion in sales annually.
Marketing Your Home
Marketing your home will be one of the most important
things I do. The Lowcountry is experiencing a buyer’s
market, which means that for every prospective buyer,
there are approximately four homes they may see that meet
their search criteria. My goal is to prepare and market
your home in such a way that it sits at the top of a buyer’s
list of choices.
I market extensively to all buyers, using both print ads
and internet ads, as well as direct mailers and company
email programs. As buyers become more sophisticated, I
have found that internet advertising has become increasingly
important and I focus a great deal of attention to this
avenue.
Realtor Database – Hilton Head Island Multiple
Listing Service
This is a comprehensive listing of property on Hilton
Head Island and the surrounding Lowcountry. This gives
your property exposure to over 1,000 agents and vastly
broadens the avenues for buyers to receive information
on your property.
MLS Tour – Hilton Head Island and Bluffton
Your home will be included on the MLS Tour of New Listings.
The Hilton Head Tour is conducted on Wednesdays and the
Bluffton Tour is conducted on Thursdays. This allows all
agents an opportunity to see your home and offers the
most viewing potential.
Advertising in Local Publications
In addition to internet advertising and market exposure,
your home will be promoted in our local newspaper, the
Island Packet, along with various real estate magazines
for optimum exposure.
Website Placement
Your home will be featured on my website, www.HiltonHeadExpert.com
and will be included in my “Featured Listings”
section.
Open Houses
We will offer periodic opportunities to invite the general
public to view your home through Open House tours. This
opportunity allows me to showcase your home in strategic
fashion to maximize value.
Preparing Your Home For
Sale
Your home can be sold quickly and at a fair price. The
following tips have proved invaluable to owners and are
worth your special attention:
Get rid of clutter. Throw out or file stacks of newspapers
and magazines. Pack away most of your small decorative
items. Store out-of-season clothing to make closets seem
roomier. Clean out the garage.
Let the sun shine in! Open draperies and curtains to show
how bright and cheery your home can be. Wash your windows
and screens to let more light into the interior.
Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints from light
switch plates. Mop and wax floors. Clean the stove and
refrigerator. A clean house makes a better first impression
and convinces buyers that the home has been well cared
for.
Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate
cooking odors, smoke, and pet smells. Open the windows.
Put higher wattage bulbs in light sockets to make rooms
seem brighter, especially dark rooms. Replace all old
bulbs.
Make minor repairs that can create a bad impression. Small
problems, such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked
caulking, or a dripping faucet, may seem trivial, but
may also give buyers the impression that your home is
not well maintained.
Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, trim the
bushes, and edge the walks. Put a pot or two of bright
flowers near the entryway.
Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
Clean your gutters.
Polish your front doorknob and door numbers.
Bathrooms sell houses, so make sure that your bathrooms
shine!
Remove all unnecessary items that may clutter space. This
includes closets. |
