Target agents in Shasta County to increase the flow of buyers to your home.
There are 3 types of buyers in any market. The first group are “local buyers” searching neighborhoods, the Internet, and local magazines. Next, there are “out of town buyers” that typically search the Internet for homes. Finally, there are “buyers under the influence of other agents.” To reach these buyers, you must have a system for attracting other agents.
We know the importance of working with other agents in our marketplace and we have a plan that leverages the greatest amount of other agents to sell your home. There’s a common misconception among home sellers that you need to work with a local or neighborhood specific agent in order to get your home sold. The fact of the matter is that 70% of homes are sold by co-op agents. This means that you have a less than 30% chance that your agent is going to attract the buyer for your home.
To increase showings from co-op agents, we target buyer specialists in our market. This leads to increased showings from them, a higher profile for your listing among all buyer specialists and an expanded reach and exposure for your home. We also make certain that co-op agents are paid a fair portion of the commission that is negotiated. This not only gets buyer specialists excited about your home, but also gets them to “talk up” your home to potential buyers. This positions your home in front of the stronger agents in our marketplace.
Marketing directly to the population of buyers in the marketplace, without focusing on the buyer specialists who work with these qualified buyers, can cost you thousands in equity, and weeks or even months, on the market. Lastly, we understand the power of social marketing. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social sites are great tools for maximizing the exposure of your home. In fact, many of the homes we list each year are sold with the use of these tools. With the use of social marketing and networking strategies, you can be assured that the greatest amount of buyers and real estate agents are exposed to your home.
Problem: Most agents put a sign in front of your home, place the home on the multiple listing services and then wait to see what happens. When nothing happens, the agent often times just asks for a price reduction. Sellers are left feeling disappointed and don’t understand why their home has not sold.
Solution: Our team constantly monitors the showings that take place on your home. We follow up with each showing and determine 3 things. We first get feedback on how the buyer and agent felt the home showed and what could be done to help the home show better. Next, we determine if the buyer purchased another home and why they chose a different home over yours. Finally, we get feedback on the list price.
Seller's Benefits:
Problem: Agents have hundreds of homes to scan through to find the right home for the buyer they are working for.
Solution: We proactively contact buyer agents in different companies and identify the agents that are looking for homes like yours.

<< Back to Josh Barker's 5 Proven Steps To Getting The Most Money For Your Home
We were very happy with the service and knowledge that Josh Barker and his team brought to the table in our real estate negotiations. We are confident that without Josh we would have paid significantly more for the property, would not have been as well informed regarding the property and then tenants therein, and that this would have been a different transaction all together. Even after the close of escrow Josh and his team have continued to help us out with questions to the former owner. We heartily recommend Josh for all of our real estate needs.
I have rarely had the pleasure to do business with such a team of professionals. Josh met with me personally to explain how the members of his staff would work together with my wife and I to come to a successful conclusion in the sale of our home. Each member of this organization had specific responsibilities in the sale process, and each and everyone did their job to perfection. It is gratifying to find a group of people that are so dedicated to their clients. I heartily recommend Josh Barker for all your Real Estate needs. -Gordy S.
Josh Barker and his entire team are amazing! They are on the ball every minute and they don't miss a beat. They treat us so well that they feel like family. We will never choose anyone else for our real estate needs! Josh gets your home sold asap! Couldn't be happier! -Jennifer M.
We were so pleased with the service provided by Josh and his team. We interviewed three realtors prior to signing with Josh and selected him based upon his knowledge of the market and strategy for promoting the property both locally and outside Shasta County. Josh emphasized his team approach and communications with his clients. The house sold in seven days and escrow went without a hitch. I've bought and sold 10 properties and this transaction was by far the most seamless. Thanks Josh and your team of professionals! -John and Christina B.
