Using proprietary software and the experience of my colleagues at Santa Fe Properties, we will arrive at the best price, called a comparative marketing analysis. This is a free service.Marketing
We will publish well-written, quality graphics for your property including announcements for new listings, price reductions and open houses. In the case of $750,000+ houses we will develop a special website showcasing the property's features to buyers worldwide.

Follow-up on Showings
I will follow up with salespeople who have shown your property to establish interest and elicit any meaningful feedback. I will then pass this information along to you.
