If you have a home or condo in Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, Semiahmoo, Birch Bay, or anywhere in Whatcom County, you need more than a sign in your yard, a MLS flyer, and a newspaper ad to get your home showcased properly in this market. For our listings, we create a custom marketing campaign that goes above and beyond what any other Realtor in Whatcom County is doing to market property. 
Again, this marketing is also part of what we do for ALL of our sellers. But with luxury, waterfront, and view homes in Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine, Birch Bay and the surrounding Whatcom County areas, these tools we use in our marketing is essential. Staging My wife Andrea and I, are Accredited Staging Professionals. We can help you stage your home and yard, to get top dollar, and to help you sell in the least amount of time. Professional Pictures With luxury, view and waterfront homes, we always include professional photography. 90% of home buyers are starting their search on-line, and if the pictures don't impress, you don't have a chance. This is the most important piece of the marketing campaign. High Definition Virtual Tour Most Realtors are now using virtual tour programs, but most are the same thing. They take low resolution pictures, and stitch them together with music. We use a program that allows the pictures to stay in High Definition, so that the beautiful pictures of your kitchen, view, etc can be showcased FULL SCREEN on a prospective buyers computer. Because the photos are in high resolution, the buyer can also zoom in on the pictures! We also can do 360 degree views of your home and property. This is the kind of virtual tour that makes an impact! Unique Website We purchase a domain name, unique to your home. This gives the prospective buyer a website name to go directly to, to find the virtual tour, the home information, as well as information on the community and schools. Listing Syndication to 100's of websites!
