There are two parts to my marketing Plan. The first step is MY marketing Plan, outlined below. The second step is the marketing plan used by the office ( Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox and Roach Realtors ) to compliment the strategies I employ. This gives the Seller maximum exposure to the Buying Public. The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox and Roach Real Estate Marketing Plan is also printed below.

The Springfield Press or Main Line Time ... On occasion I will run an ad in the Classified Real Estate Section, one listing per run selected on a rotation basis, frequency determined by response.

The Internet ... I maintain several different URLs on the World Wide Web, on which I feature a Description of services, a Reply page, Descriptions of Sale listings, New Listings, Monthly Best Buys and a Property Search.

NEW FEATURES : NARRATED VISUAL TOURS !!!

These home pages are referenced and catalogued with many different search engines. I can be "Found" at ;

Email Campaigns and eCards are an effective way to Notify my prospects of New Listings, Hot Listings, and Best Buys, Communicating in a "non-threatening" manner and providing 24 HOUR Access. My email address is jim@jimocnj.com

Personal Brochures ... I print my own brochures for all personal listings, which are updated as necessary and submitted to :all sales customers, rental customers upon check-in, and prospects on my Mailing List for solicitation

"VIP" Program .... Visitors to my website are encouraged to join the "VIP" program to receive information via Monthly "Best Buys" Flyers, Quarterly Sales Brochures and on occasion, Copies of Major Realty Publications, which I will mail to them.

Mail Campaigns ..... On occasion I will merge solicitations ( flyers, postcards ) with my database of Sales and Rental customers from my personal data base of 1,000s of names accumulated over 23 years.

TREND Multiple Listing Service ... . I syndicate my listings through TREND MLS so your listing can be accessed by agents from thje Jersey Shore to Pennsylvania - a feature few other REALTORS offer.

Our office location attracts many walk-in customers and has high visibility due to the presence of a traffic signal on the corner of 55th Street and West Avenue. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox and Roach's prominence in southend signage and sales activity affords us maximum customer contact for those interested in purchasing property "in our backyard".

Broker Open Houses ( VERY IMPORTANT ) ... A Brokers Open House includes invitations to Ocean City offices, during Mid-Week for Brokers to spend 1/2 an Hour "Lunch" where I provide a Hoagie tray/sandwich tray with refreshment ( non-alcoholic ) for the purpose of introducing YOUR property to the ACTUAL "procuring cause" - The Realtors !! These Open Houses result in feedback on pricing, condition, and impressions.

For Sale Signs .... A Sale Sign, Personalized with my name, Lets the world know your property is listed for sale, and who to call to see it. The sign is posted ONLY with your permission.
