Property Marketing Guide
Dear Potential Client,
Thank you for taking the time to view my property marketing guide.
I am dedicated to providing only the highest quality of customer service and marketing to each and every
client I have. I hope you find the material in this packet useful.
My personal mission statement is to make every one of my clients a “Client for Life.” I pride myself on
counseling all of my clients in order for them to achieve their goals and dreams. You will receive professional
service that comes with my personal GUARENTEE*, honesty, integrity and respect.
As your Realtor I will use my expertise of the current real estate market to properly educate you and give you
the correct knowledge needed to make the right decisions during the selling process. The goal is to have your
property sell for the highest price, lowest amount of market time with the least amount of stress on your
daily lives.
By utilizing my extensive property marketing system you can be confident knowing that if there is a
prospective purchaser that may be looking for your home, they will be able to find it and they will find it
easily! Once I have identified the prospective purchaser, that’s where negotiation takes over and you can rest
easy knowing my job isn’t complete until I have negotiated the best price and terms for you and your family.
I don’t want you to think I am bragging, I am applying for a job. I want to be your Realtor!
I hope your family will join my exclusive club of past clients and enjoy the many benefits of doing business
with Jeff Gilbert.
Sincerely,
Jeff Gilbert

The agent will put up a For Sale sign and hope
that another agent will sell the home. They
don’t aggressively try and sell the property
themselves.
In addition to the extensive online efforts, I will
market your home proactively in a number of
ways. I will network your property throughout the
real estate community to see who has buyers
looking for a property like yours. I will initiate my
just listed program, conduct an Open House, and
will advertise in local newspapers. A full colour
booklet will be designed and left for you to display during showings. Buyers will take this book
with them and will be reminded about your properties features and pictures. Not to be forgotten, I
utilize the old school approach of “WHO is most
likely to buy” and then think outside the box on
how to reach your properties target buyer group.
It’s always my goal to sell your house before another agent has the chance.
Virtual Tour
Virtual Tour
The agent takes the property pictures, enters
them into a program which makes a
slideshow. Is that a virtual tour?
I hire a professional videographer to take a video
with professional equipment which results in a fantastic showcase of your property. It’s as if you are
walking room to room. Check out my YouTube
channel for examples.

Most agents will not give you this right. They
will try and lock you into a contract for one,
two, six or even 12 months.
My philosophy is to earn your business every day. I
am confident that I can provide a superior level
of service and care. If I don’t, I don’t deserve your
business. It’s as simple as that.

Client Testimonials
“We met Jeff and immediately liked his sincere manner. He spent time to help us understand
the present real estate market and shared our concern about establishing an accurate listing
price. His method turned out to be very effective! He was willing to go the extra mile and
when the property was ready to list everything went smoothly. His professional yet personal
style made him an easy agent to work with. We were glad we chose Jeff as our listing agent
and were rewarded with a very quick sale.”
Brian & Sandy of Barrie
“Thanks for your hard work Jeff. We were first time home buyers and I was very appreciative
of the time Jeff spent explaining how the process works as well as the benefits we were
entitled to as first time buyers. He also took the time to show us a lot of homes (maybe too
many haha) but he always made us comfortable in that we needed to make sure we made the
right decision for us. His knowledge and patience allowed us to find our first home that we
are extremely excited to start the next chapter of our life.”
