Email notification of your listing to my large database of potential buyers who have expressed an interest in a home like yours.

Email notification of your listing to my extensive network of real estate agents who have active, qualified buyers as clients.

A listing agent accustomed to working with and responding quickly to Internet shoppers. It’s not unusual for me to get emails or calls from buyers who have assembled their own list of homes from searching the Internet. They ask, “Can you show me these?” And I’ve sold them something from their list. This is how young people, especially, like to shop.

A Multi-Media, Multi-MLS Marketing Strategy

In addition to the Internet, your listing will be advertised in the magazine Homes & Land Malibu to Beverly Hills. Recently, my display advertising in this popular magazine resulted in a call from a prospective buyer who works with boxers such as Oscar De La Hoya and Ortiz, who each have a home up here. Boxers love to train here because the altitude makes them that much stronger. In fact, I was out early the other day taking photographs right after a snow, and I saw a group of boxers running down the street in the snow.

Also, because I’m a member of the California Desert Area Board of REALTORS®, which includes Palm Springs, your listing will be advertised in that MLS in addition to the Big Bear Lake MLS. This is important to you as a seller because of the large number of second- and third- home buyers who have a place in the desert for the winter. But when the temperature hits 130 degrees in Palm Springs, they like to escape to a home in the mountains. And Big Bear Lake is a convenient two hours away.

Financing Challenges—When Experience Really Matters

There are times when financing is a challenge to selling a home. This is especially true in today’s market. There also can be financing challenges that are intrinsic to a particular property. But because I’ve been helping home sellers like you sell real estate here for over two decades, I’ve become very good at thinking of different financing vehicles and finding creative ways to structure a deal. I’ve recently done owner carries, 1031 exchanges and, right now, I’m working on a type of financing we did many years ago called an AITD (All Inclusive Trust Deed). So, don’t let financing challenges stop you from entering the market. Give me a call, and we’ll explore your options together.

Unique Features Require Unique Buyers

If your home has unique features that are not right for everybody but are right for somebody, I’ve had excellent success through the years of matching just the right buyer to my sellers. A recent example is the listing I had for the home of a paraplegic. The home has an indoor pool, which is an uncommon feature at Big Bear Lake. There may be three other properties here with indoor pools. The home required a buyer with a specific need, and I ended up selling it to a family whose mother needed water therapy in a heated pool.

So, whether your home requires a unique buyer or creative financing or you want the greatest Internet exposure possible, give me a call. We’ll look at your options together and get your home sale started.

Are You An Internet Shopper?

There are agents who only show their own listings or only their office listings. But I’m not one of them. So, if you have a list of homes you’ve found on the Internet, give me a call. I’ll arrange the showings for the date you plan to come up. Be sure to bring your camera because, when home shopping, taking photos is easier than taking notes.

I’ll help you find the balance between the seclusion you want and the modern conveniences you need. Or I’ll help you find a lakefront home with the fantastic view that leaves you breathless. Give me a call, and let’s get this exciting journey started.
