Steps We Take to Successfully Market a Listing

People don’t buy just listings; they buy lifestyles. It’s essential, then, that when marketing real estate, the content must contain more than just specs and data. The Hickman-Coen Home Team develops a personal narrative of what it’s like to live in the home and then devises a marketing plan to tell the lifestyle story of that home to as many buyers as possible.

Selling your home does not have to be stressful for you and your family. The Hickman-Coen Home Team seeks to make the process as streamlined and stressless as possible. We devised a step by a step marketing plan that gets your property the most amount of attention in the shortest amount of time.
