John Walsh has over 30 years marketing and sales experience in dealing with domestic and foreign cultures. Prior to his real estate career, John had worked for several capital equipment manufacturers, marketing industrial dryers to the chemical process industries in USA, Latin America, Asia, and Western Europe. Typical sales price ranged from $500,000 to $5,000,000 per transaction. Coupling his detail-oriented, chemical engineering technical background with his passion to serve his clients to the fullest extent, has led him to develop direct-contact marketing strategies as the core of his business plan. Critical analytical thinking, strong negotiating skills, and results-oriented marketing techniques has resulted in enhanced bottom line profitability for his clients.
Realizing that the greater the exposure of the Listed Property to Real Buyers, the greater is the probability of increased net income to the Seller, John has adapted his Proactive Marketing Techniques to Listing Real Estate as follows:
- Direct Contact to Targeted Home Sellers. These people have already made the decision to move, when they listed their own homes to sell. Determine the demographics of the Targeted Buyer and then make direct contact with these Targeted Sellers.
- Direct Contact to Targeted Realtors. Even though many Buyers first look to the Internet in the early stages of the home buying process, approximately 85% of home purchases are made through the use of a Realtor. It makes good sense to market directly to the Local Realtors, and not rely only on the MLS listing service.
- Maximum Internet Exposure. Listed properties will be shown with enhanced web pages on websites and major portals, including on Realtor.com, Homestore.com, AOL.com, MSN.com, Compuserve.com, Netscape.com, Minn-homes.com - - - e-PRO Realtor
- Referral Networking. Direct contact with past clients, business associates, etc.
- Persistent follow-up activities following all showings via Realtor or Open House.
Having relocated from New York City to the Twin Cities nearly 20 years ago, John has adapted to the Minnesota lifestyle quite readily. He and his wife Agnes live in a home on Turtle Lake in Shoreview, and have added another member to the family - - - FIDO
