PropertyGuys.com - More Than Just a Website

Some website just don't translate into real life.

At PropertyGuys.com, we know that selling your home is not something that should be taken lightly and just left to some online platform or website. Over the last 15 years we have worked with tens of thousands of home sellers. Experience like that has helped us figure a thing or two out. We know people want more than a website to sell their house, why else would they consider spending $20,000+ to sell a cookie cutter home?

Being locally owned and operated, having the business owner sitting at your kitchen table to walk you through the entire process is one of our market advantages. We also rely on industry professionals like local appraisers as well as lawyers to offer you what you need when you need it. In addition we have a call answer service that books appointments for you allowing you to never miss a buyer.

When it comes to marketing we look at traditional options like the local newspaper and Just Listed postcards mailed out in your neighbourhood as well as some non traditional marketing like sponsored Facebook posts targeting buyers in your wanted demographic. For those that want to reach the MLS audience we even have real estate brokers that will get you on Realtor.ca for some added exposure.

We are more than just PropertyGuys.com. We are more than a website. We are part of your community, living and working along with you, effecting our local economy by keeping your money in your pocket, where it belongs.

The Real Estate Sign - Lore, Myth, and Legend

Does a for sale sign on your lawn help you sell your house? Of course it does!

The for sale sign is responsible for a few things in the process. Let's first look at what it's use was in the past. In the dark ages (pre-internet) if you wanted to sell your house, the for sale sign was very important. It was one of the only ways to advertise your intention to sell your house. The only other ways were classified ads, bulletin boards, and the well connected real estate agent.

In today's age of the information super highway (do we still use that term?) your online listing is your for sale sign screaming to people zipping by at the speed of a Facebook news feed. But does the old school for sale sign, the one in real life, on your lawn, still offer you value?

To answer that question you have to go around the complete circle. What is the purpose of the sign and what information does it provide to it's intended audience? The main purpose of the sign has not changed. It is to tell people your house is for sale and how to get more info. An agent`s sign usually provides their phone number because they want the buyer. Maybe for your house or for another if your's isn't exactly what they are looking for.

On the PropertyGuys.com sign we have our ContactPro phone number so questions can get answered and appointments can be booked. We also have your Sign ID# to direct people to your online listing. This is where the virtual viewing of your home happens. It all starts with the buyer falling in love with your home and this can all start with an innocent drive through your neighbourhood and seeing that 5 foot tall lollipop sign on your lawn.

Don't underestimate your sign, it says you are selling and should connect people with your house, not someone looking to sell any house!
