3-Phased Marketing Strategy
Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional homebuilders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success.
This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch. In the same way that Hollywood launches multiple trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy allows us to launch your listing multiple times, building similar excitement and demand.
(1) Private Exclusive - Just like many companies test products with a smaller audience before launch, listing your home as a Private Exclusive allows you to test price, gain critical insights, generate early demand, and extend your marketing runway — all before going public.
Make your listing available to a nationwide network of 34,000 top agents and their millions of clients.
Begin to create urgency and generate buyer interest without accumulating days on market or damaging public price drops.
Sometimes you’ll find a buyer that will pay a premium for certainty and reduced stress.
(2) Coming Soon - Publicly launch your property on Compass.com, showcasing it to all agents and consumers on the internet without displaying days on market or price drop history. Signal to the market that increased competition for the listing will be coming soon when it’s launched on all other sites.
Receive key engagement insights from your agent about how agents and their buyers are viewing, commenting, and sharing your listing on Compass.com – data that is lost when listings go into other platforms.
Improve the chance of ranking higher on Google while increasing the likelihood that serious buyers contact us directly, instead of an agent who may not be familiar with your home.
In this phase, have more control over your data so photos of your home and personal information don't stay on the Internet.
(3) Live on MLS & All Platforms - Go ‘Active’ on MLS & third-party sites with benefit of price discovery from Phases 1 & 2.
Armed with feedback from agents and buyers, we strategically launch your home on the public market to help ensure maximum demand and confidence to achieve the best outcome for you. Now that your home is launched, it will accrue days on market and visible price drop history.
What Our Client's Are Saying
“The Bakhtiari Group made the process of selling our home easy and stress free. Their knowledge of the competitive local real estate market is top notch. They were able to price our home competitively and generate 18 offers for us, 17 of which were above asking price — he went above and beyond what we had ever imagined for our home. It was a process we thought would be overwhelming, but They got us top dollar and brought in wonderful buyers who are just as in love with the home as we were. Would highly recommend and will be using him in the future!”
“The Bakhtiari Group did an amazing job handling the sale of our home! From the moment we requested his services he dove right in. They coordinated professional photos, listed our home, and held open houses all within a one-week period. While the listing process was incredibly quick, they took the time to walk us through each step and answer any and all questions we had. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable with the process. Once we received offers, they expertly handled negotiations to ensure we received the best offer possible. His professional experience/ judgement guided us to selling our house for more than we initially thought. Once the P&S was executed they handled all ongoing communication, personally addressed several last-minute requests from the buyer. They were incredibly communicative, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend his services to anyone considering purchasing/ selling a home in the future. ”
“I have sold many homes in my life but never with such ease as with The Bakhtiari Group. They handled every aspect of the sale from start to close very professionally with next to no effort on my part. I highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs.”
“We used The Bakhtiari Group to sell our house and were so impressed with his professionalism that we hired him again a year later for the purchase of a new home. He is detail-oriented, knowledgeable, a great negotiator, even-tempered, thorough, and most of all honest – everything we could ask for in a realtor. We give The Bakhtiari Group our highest recommendation.”
The Importance Of Quality Marketing
(1) Online Presence - 95% of all buyers use the internet to search for their next home, 86% watch video of their new community and 70% tour the insides of properties online. (Source: National Association of Realtors 2015 Study)
(2) Photos & Video - Listings with high-quality photos sell 32% quicker than those with amateur photos. Listings that include professional photographs can sell for up to $19,000 more in premiums. Video, especially when promoted properly through the most popular social media platforms, gets your home in front of more people and helps buyers get a true feel of the most appealing aspects of the property.
(3) Staging - Professional staging increases the price and more importantly sells houses faster (so your carrying costs are less) -- 88% faster with a 20% increase in price.
Before & After
(4) Strategic Pricing - The goal is to maximize visibility and schedule as many buyer showings as possible. Pricing too low tells buyers that something may be wrong. Pricing too high deters potential buyers, lessens the chance of a bidding war and increases the odds of the home sitting on the market and having a price reduction.
