The Marketing of your home is most successfully accomplished by employing two strategies;

Retailing the property to the ultimate buyer and wholesale exposure to the brokerage com-

munity. Our marketing campaign effectively addresses both strategies.

Retail Marketing:

Internet Exposure

The National Association of Realtors study

found that over 80% of all home buyers

start their search online. The buyers sur-

veyed stated that the most useful website

features are detailed property information

with virtual tours and photography.

Online Exposure

The shift today is that we are all using the internet more in everything that we do to get the

weather, search for books, but clothing and do research. It is estimated that 880 million real es-

tate searches every month start online with Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others. Kenton Hopkins,

David McHugh, and Benjamin Finn along with Slifer Smith & Frampton have dedicated a substan-

tial amount of energy insuring that the properties we represent are shown first.

We utilize the most extensive Search Engine Marketing strategy in the Vail Valley and display first

in the “natural” search results for the most popular keywords, “Vail Real Estate” and “Beaver

Creek Real Estate”. Additionally, Slifer Smith & Frampton manages an extensive Search Engine

Marketing Campaign with over 125 keywords to ensure we drive highly qualified people to our
