Introducing Front Runner from First Weber Real Estate

I’m going to be quoting First Weber a little bit here…but please bear with me…

“First Weber has launched one of the most innovative marketing programs in the nation! Front Runner is an impressive multi-media interFirst Weber Front Runner Logonet marketing package available exclusively through First Weber Group in Wisconsin.”

I understand why you rolled your eyes at the above statements. Who says Front Runner is innovative? Really the nation? But, stay with me… Over the next week or so I’ll demonstrate why and how Front Runner will benefit you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re buying or selling a home.

Today I’m going to provide an overview of what Front Runner actually is. In later posts I’ll break down the individual parts of Front Runner and explain why each is important to buyers in Wisconsin Rapids. And if it’s important to buyers, it then becomes important for a seller.

First Weber provides these tools automatically through Front Runner:

  • Smart yard signs with Call Capture, Texting and Media Presentation capabilities
  • Interactive slide shows with Google street maps, audio and music
  • Streaming video exposure on First Weber’s YouTube channel
  • Exposure on major real estate sites including: Yahoo Real Estate, Zillow, Trulia, FrontDoor plus many more
  • Single property websites
  • Enhanced reporting to show where and how often properties are viewed online

First Weber Group has been number 1 in total sales the past two years in Wisconsin Rapids. Outpacing all other real estate companies in the area. Before it was smart to list with First Weber because we handled the majority of buyers and sellers in Wisconsin Rapids… Now it becomes even smarter to list with First Weber because we’re using technology to better reach the needs of today’s home buyer.

Using technology for technologies sake isn’t going to sell your home any quicker. But, if I use technology that’s designed to meet the new breed of buyer, your home will sell sooner. Why? It’s all about expectations… How do they expect to locate information? How do they expect the interaction with a Realtor to proceed? Buyers will not adapt to Realtors… Realtors have to adapt to the new buyer… The more places I put your home so it’s seen, the better it is for you and your home. If I take a few pictures, throw together a description and wait for the administrative assistant to upload it to the MLS… (I won’t, read here and here) That home, your home, may be sitting there for awhile.

It’s that easy, well for some…

I’ll get into the specific demographic data in a later post. Here’s a teaser–the average buyer is over twenty years younger than the average real estate agent. Odds are, if you’re reading this you’re my age, 30 something… You go about things very differently than someone 10 or more years your elder. Front Runner is designed to meet your needs.

Stay tuned, more to come. If you don’t want to miss a thing, why not subscribe, and all subsequent posts will be delivered to your inbox. It’s free, and you can always stop whenever my posts stop meeting your needs. Of course, I hope that never happens! ;-)

If you’re thinking of selling, please read what I’ll do when listing your home. Not only will you receive the full weight of the number 1 agency in Wisconsin Rapids, plus Front Runner but you’ll also receive more marketing designed to sell YOUR home and not every other home on the MLS.

Following is a short commercial break for Adam Holberg, First Weber agent and your internet marketing specialist… Thank you for reading!

Are you thinking of selling? This listing is how I’ll differentiate your home from the rest. Every other agent will get your home on the MLS, plus a bunch of other websites… that’s a given. Nothing special in that.

But, here’s the rub: all they’re doing is throwing your home into the same pot as every other listing in the area.

How is that actively selling your home?

My listings get sent off to the same websites as every other Wisconsin Rapids real estate agent. (Odds are the listings are automatically uploaded to the dozen or so other websites automatically, like they are here at First Weber) But the difference is I’ll spend my time promoting 5221AuburnAve.com instead of the MLS listing.

My goal is to send traffic to your listing… Not the MLS…

Ever went into a grocery store for “one thing?” How often do you come out with many more items? It’s the same idea with the MLS. A buyer goes there looking for your home, and the next thing they know they’ve found 4 homes, and not one is yours…

Want to talk about getting your home sold? Get in touch. Email is just fine…

Anyway, thanks for reading. Check the home out. I’d love to show you the home, send me an email and we can get you through the home at your convenience. It’s been a busy first week, so don’t wait to long though.
