How To Build A House, Video Series.
I’m very excited to announce a new feature here on brunswickbroker.com. I am going to produce a series of videos that will take you inside the homebuilding process from start to finish. How to build a house from the Brunswick Broker. I’ll also discuss & shoot video of all aspects of a new homebuilding project of ours, including the actual construction, project management and real estate marketing. As a Broker with Martha Lee Realty in Holden Beach, NC., I’ll show you the ins and outs through my eyes as a real estate agent. This will be a complete, and professional project and I’m very excited for you to join me. D & S Building Contractors, our New Home Construction business, is breaking ground on a new home in Brunswick Landing in Holden Beach, NC. This is your classic beach house on pilings. The “Brunswick Islander” will be around 1344 sq. ft. on pilings with an elevator! Without a doubt, this is the most affordable house/lot package with an elevator to be offered in the entire Brunswick County, NC. Have you ever considered building your own home? Have you ever wondered about the life of a contractor and developer? I hope I can give you insight into this business and what it takes through the lens of my video camera. I may even have some good information for those seeking information about shooting and making high definition videos. I’ll be shooting video with a Canon XH A1 and editing with Apple Final Cut Express. I hope to learn a lot more about my camera and really get in depth on the editing process Final Cut Express. I hope you will join me and ask questions as I take you on the inside of life as a Developer, Homebuilder and Real Estate Agent.
If They Can’t Find You, They Can’t Buy You
How Do I Find You?
You decide to sell your property. Ok, great. What next? Well, you could do a For Sale By Owner. A lot of folks do. A lot of folks try it, and you drive by that “For Sale” sign tacked to a garden stake in the front yard for months. Sometimes it works but more often than not, it doesn’t.
How will your buyers find you? The quick answer to that is, they will drive by and see your sign. That’s not good enough for me.
I saw a FSBO myself the other day and the writing was so small that I couldn’t read what it said. I just happened to be riding my bike, so I turned around and rode up to the telephone pole it was nailed to, and had to really squint and focus to read what it said. I thought it might be a yard sale or something. It was their home for sale! 3 Bedroom with a pool. I figured they didn’t really want to sell it that bad, especially if a $1.25 sign is their marketing plan.
Selling a property is difficult. It takes patience and hard work. Some FSBO’s give off a bad vibe to potential homebuyers. A prospective homebuyer may think the property is distressed or it’s a bargain sale. A seller who lists an FSBO may attract unqualified bargain hunters. This is a pure waste of your time. A professional Real Estate Broker can weed out these individuals and only bring well qualified prospects to view your property. I found it hard to believe that this was their marketing plan. Had I been in my car, I would have never turned around. I could not even read the phone number.
Employ the services of a licensed professional. At Martha Lee Realty, we are in business to sell your property. Take advantage of the resources of a professional Real Estate Company. Most Real Estate companies have a wide and varied network in which to attract buyers. The MLS (multiple listing service) alone is worth the price of a commission.
If they can’t find you, they can’t buy you.
Call me and let me find your buyer.
