Communication

Sunshine and SandCastles strives to ensure that you are well informed at all times during the process of selling your home or condo. You can choose to hear from the Sunshine and SandCastles's team on the many different occasions most important to you; feedback from a showing, follow-ups on a conversation, updates on how the marketing plan is taking effect, and comments from other Agents and their buying clients. Utilizing whichever communication tool you most prefer; telephone, email, text message, cd reports, or regular mail, keeping you informed of where we are at in your home-selling process, how we are marketing your home to the highest number of qualified buyers possible, and sometimes just to see how things are going with you, is part of our commitment to success.


Marketing

Each individual property is marketed separately, because no two properties in Sarasota or on the Gulf Coast are the same. We target a very specific audience for each property and seek uncluttered marketing tools so that each of our special properties stand out the way they ought to. You might make this comparison as you look at competing real estate firms who advertise every property they have listed for sale on the same page because it is most cost effective for them to do so. These competing firms do not subscribe to the win win solution that Sunshine and SandCastles Team is very proud of.

Sunshine and SandCastle's takes the time to put together a High Impact Marketing Plan tailored to you and your property's individual requirements. Our High Impact Marketing Plan assures your property maximum exposure, allowing potential buyers to "view" your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Choose from many different options:

• High quality full-color Property Brochures.
• Consistent Media Advertising: Extensive presence in major, local, and community newspapers, as well as consumer and industry magazines and journals, and local radio and television for maximum exposure of your property.
• Immediately place your property in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) with high-quality digital photography of your property, a virtual tour and full descriptive text designed to seduce the senses and sell your property.
