INTERNET ADVERTISING & WEBSITES
80% of Buyers' nationwide and 100% of Buyers’, who live in San Diego County, find their home on the Internet, which is why I have a state of the art website listed below:
www.ChristopherHutchinson.net
Helpful to both Buyers' & Sellers', this website features content rich information, allow users to perform advanced property searches, view virtual tours, find out about open house information, request more information about any property they see, etc. All three websites have a lead capture function which automatically sends a text message to my cell phone which allows me to respond and provide information about your property ASAP. In addition, ChristopherHutchinson.net contains a BLOG that is packet full of additional information helpful to both Buyers' & Sellers'
I create a website for each of my listings and get top placement on popular search engines such as Google, MSN, & Yahoo. My listings are also featured as a "Showcase Home" on Realtor.com, the #1 real estate website in the world. The "Showcase Home" feature is an upgrade Realtors' must pay for, which allows Buyers' to view multiple pictures, picture descriptions, & virtual tours of a property.
Besides being advertised on the three websites mentioned above, my listings are also featured on OpenHouse.com, Trulia.com, NewYorkTimes.com, IHT.com (International Herald Tribune), PromoterOnline.com, Craig's List.com, Backpage.com, OpenHouse.com, Hotpads.com, House.com, Local.com, Vast.com, CityCribs.com, Homescape.com, Facebook.com, E-Bay.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, Oodle.com, CyberHomes.com, LoopNet.com and Youtube.com.

PROFESSIONALLY TAKEN PHOTOGRAPHS & VIRTUAL TOURS
Product presentation is extremely important when selling any product, especially a home, which is the largest investment, most people make in their lifetime. This important fact is the reason why I have each of my listings professionally photographed to exploit every homes full potential. I also create a virtual tour for each of my listings as well. Professionally taken photographs and virtual tours allow 80% to 100% of Buyers who start their search on the Internet to efficiently shop and preview available homes much better than with the use of standard pictures. In addition, I place virtual tours for each listing on all of the major search engines (MSN, Yahoo, & Google) and on YouTube.com as well.

DIRECT MAIL ADVERTISING
Once your home is listed, an aggressive direct mail marketing campaign will be started by sending out "Just Listed, Pending and Sold" post cards. This will ensure that all of your neighbors are informed of the availability of your home in addition to providing them with an update of market activity.

CUSTOM FULL COLOR FLYERS
Using professionally taken photographs, I create custom full color flyers. Each flyer contains detailed property descriptions. These flyers are placed in the flyer box on a listing sign and inside the home. I also emails these flyers out to all agents within San Diego County to ensure full exposure of every listing he takes.
__________________________________________________________________________________
PRINT ADVERTISING
I advertise in all of San Diego's major publications such as the San Diego Union Tribune, The Daily Transcript, The University Heights News, The North Park News, San Diego Aztec, etc.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
DISTINCT SIGNAGE
Distinct signage, a flyer box filled with listing flyers, and a sign rider displaying a personalized website created specifically for your home will ensure your home gets noticed! In addition, a solar collector light mounted on top of the signpost will ensure that your property is advertised 24/7.

PROAGENTSOLUTIONS.COM
A common complaint amongst most Sellers' is the lack of communication they have with their Realtor once they list their home. To increase Seller satisfaction, I employ www.ProAgentSolutions.com. This website is an interactive communication tool, which allows Sellers to receive instant feedback about a showing, or any other occurrence of their home. I issue Sellers' their own user name & password, which allows Sellers' to log onto the website & stay informed about the sale of their home 24/7. This information can be used to improve your homes weaknesses in the eyes of a Buyer and determine if your home is priced at market value.
