It’s More than the
FOR SALE Sign

Did you know….For recently sold homes, the final sales price was a median of 100 percent of the final listing price, the highest recorded since 2002 according to NAR’s 2021 Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers Report.

OUR MARKETING STRATEGY

Beautiful professional photos, a compelling storybook description, plenty of online visibility; these are only a few of the important things your real estate agent should be doing for you when you decide to list your home with them.

Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in a lifetime. Making sure your home is priced correctly, presented beautifully, and exposed to the highest number of potential buyers right from the start can mean the difference between a slow and painful waiting game to a quick and profitable sale! Choosing an agent who uses the right tools and technology to market your home properly is essential to making sure your home is sold quickly and for the highest price.

That’s where we can help. Our marketing plan is designed to get your home sold quickly and for the best price. We don’t just stick a sign in your yard and let others do the work. Our marketing plan is tailored to fit YOUR needs and to sell your home as quickly as possible with the least hassle.

Here are just a FEW of the things we do when you choose to list your home with us.

Schedule a Walk-Through*
Set an appointment with us and we will come to your home and do a walk-through, which will allow us to give you an even more accurate market value.

LISTING QUALITY

We make sure your listing is ready before we enter it into the MLS. From the listing remarks to the contract, we sit down with you and tailor each contract to your needs. This is about YOU, not US!

SELLER SERVICES

Need some renovations? A handyman? Movers? We have a whole list of vendors that we know and trust that can help you get your house in showing condition, fast!

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

95% of buyers start their search on the internet. We want your home to look its best, so we hire a professional photographer to showcase your home in the most attractive way.

AERIAL DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY*

Our professional drone photographers will get the best aerial shots of your home so buyers get a bird’s eye view of the entire property, including the outside attributes, neighborhood, and views!

3D VIRTUAL TOURS*

Our professional 3D virtual tours allow agents and prospective buyers to “walk through” your home before they even see it in person, which helps weed out the “looky-loos” and encourages serious buyers, thus saving you time and energy on fruitless showings!

ACCURATE PRICING

Accurate pricing sells homes! Price your home too high and your home won’t sell. Drop your price and people wonder why your home isn’t selling and you look desperate. We are committed to making sure your home enters the market with the right price so you get interest in your home from the start.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Did you know that networking is the fastest way to get your home in front of thousands of potential buyers? Social media is important to getting your home maximum exposure. We actively network on all of the major social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, YouTube, and more. Once your property goes on the market, we announce it via these online venues and then keep marketing it to update the status and keep it fresh in the public eye.

SETTING THE STAGE

Did you know that it’s a proven fact that staged homes often sell faster and for more money? Staging your home right is essential to getting the price you want! We offer staging services to all of our clients. We will go through your home with you, room by room, and give you suggestions to help you prepare your home for sale and make adjustments inside and out that will create a buzz of interest around your home, making it irresistible to potential buyers. We also work with professional staging experts that you can hire to stage your home to perfection.

MOBILE

Last year, mobile searchers exceeded desktop users. In today’s market, more than 70% of home buyers will view your home from their mobile phones. We are committed to keeping up with today’s changing technology. When listing with us, your property will be available in a mobile-friendly format so that no matter whether a buyer is looking at it on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, they will be viewing it in a friendly responsive format that will be pleasing to the eye and easy to use.

TEXT MESSAGE TECHNOLOGY

Text technology is fast becoming the best way to sell homes faster! Many agents are stuck in the old days of CRMs and email marketing, but we know better! Only 20% of emails get opened, but 99% of text messages are opened and read! Your home should be easily accessible from a mobile phone for potential buyers driving by your home. We employ a text technology by adding a sign rider on your For Sale sign, offering more information by texting a phrase to a certain number. We then receive data on the inquiry, including the phone number of the potential buyer, so we can follow up with them and set up a showing.

*Disclaimer: Some services are only offered to properties above a certain value. Please inquire with us directly for more details.

They made me feel very comfortable

I’ve already been telling everyone I know how happy I was with the experience I had working with the Paul & Susanna Madden. They made me feel very comfortable in buying my first home…and then selling it for me!

R & L O

Persevered in his efforts to close the sale

One of the highlights of the experience in the Maddens selling our home is we felt we were active participants of the team engaged in the sale of our home. We felt they permitted us to join their team when they listened to us attentively, and then incorporated some of our notions in the development of their overall marketing plan. When it appeared the pending sale would collapse, Paul evinced great personal and professional initiative when he persevered in his efforts to close the sale.
Not only would we gladly engage PAUL & SUSANNA MADDEN to sell our home in the future, we would indeed recommend them to friends and family.

K and D D

professionalism, personality, courtesy

The best thing about working with Paul & Susanna Madden was their professionalism, personality, courtesy for us and the other home owners, and able to support us in any decision no matter what it may have been without being judgmental or forceful…much more, I could go on forever. We would not think of using anyone else except the Maddens to buy or sell a home. Thank you!

B S.

Creative, personable…delightful

The Maddens are knowledgeable, able to work out any “kinks”, creative, personable…delightful! I have already referred my neighbors so the Maddens can sell their homes too. The MADDENS are consummate professionals with invaluable experience and knowledge regarding the market, with realistic expectations and creative solutions. Always reachable and their integrity is refreshing!

Honest, conscientious, loyal, hard working, resourceful

Charlie Bodine—so many words can describe him: honest, conscientious, loyal, hard working, resourceful, but most of all friend.  Charlie Bodine has been our realtor for six years.  After moving here from Michigan and not knowing the area, he helped us find the perfect home with all of our wants, needs, wishes and more!!!   Throughout the years, Charlie and his family have become very close friends.  He is a wonderful resource person for everything from real estate, to home repair, to the finest restaurants in town.   After six years in our beautiful home, we decided to follow our dream of living on the beach.  Again, Charlie helped us through the sale of our home and the relocation to our dream.  He is indeed a wonderful realtor—but most of all Friend.
Thanks Charlie from the Bottom of our Hearts

“Coach Charlie” took great care in selling the house of my late father

“Coach Charlie” took great care in selling the house of my late father. He literally handled all aspects of the listing and made it easy for my family and I, to relax and know that the selling of my father’s home would go as smoothly as possible. We handed him the keys and let him go to work! We appreciated all his hard work and would recommend him to anyone in need of real estate services.
Sincerely,
Joan Bunker
To anyone needing the services of a quality real estate agent, it is hard to find one better than Charlie Bodine. As executor of my mother’s estate, I needed help in selling her home. During a difficult time for me, Charlie was professional and warm. He listened carefully as I shared my concerns and questions, and always kept me informed.  Charlie worked hard to market the property in an expert way, and I was quite satisfied when the sale was finalized. I’m sure that the amount of time he has worked & lived in the area and the relationships he has formed over the years helped immensely. I would not hesitate to work with Charlie again, and highly recommend him.

Coach John and Lisa C

Helped the whole process go smoothly from start to finish

Charlie was always quick to respond to our phone calls or emails. He helped the whole process go smoothly from start to finish. He even hired someone to stage our home and we had 2 offers in the first month! He is an experienced realtor and it shows! He is a true professional.

5 Stars!

5 Stars! I have had the pleasure of using Charlie for over 10 yrs. He is professional, courteous, and thorough. No details were over looked. I have enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him. You will not regret it.

Very fast sale of our home

We were extremely pleased with Linda as our agent. Her professional approach and her knowledge of the market was above and beyond the other agents we interviewed. She gave us excellent advise ( which we took) that resulted in a very fast sale of our home. Not only did she do everything she stated in our initial interview but in our opinion she went beyond our expectations. If you want your home sold by a professional then look no further than Linda, we’re sure glad we had her on our side. You won’t be disappointed either.

Linda made it all go smoothly!

Linda did a great job getting our house sold. We live 3000 miles away and she still made it all go smoothly. Thank you Linda!

Michelle Was Awesome

Michelle was awesome. She listed and sold our house in 2010 and then helped us negotiate an awesome deal on a house in 2011. We were extremely impressed with her entire team. Very professional, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Michelle and her team.

Amanda I.

We Consider Her a Valuable Resource

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $300K in Lutz, FL.
In a matter of 10 years, we have used Michelle to purchase 2 homes and sell another. We wouldn’t consider using anyone else. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart. Michelle always gives great advice and has tremendous insight on the market. Many times if my wife and I could not decide on something we would use Michelle’s input as the deciding factor. We consider her a valuable resource and a friend in the industry.

Jan H.

Michelle is Very Experienced

Sold a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $425K in Lutz, FL.
Michelle is very experienced and guided us through the process of selling our old home and finding a new one. Within a few weeks we had an offer on our old house and were able to enter a contract on a new house. She is extremely dedicated and was a huge advocate for us. We had issues at the eleventh hour with our closing of the new house and Michelle went to bat for us and held firm. In the end we were able to close on our new house without issue. We have already recommended her to others.
Thank you Michelle for being with us every step of the way!
