We promise you everything is helpful and our only intent is to share our best strategies so you see the value in working together when and if the time is right.  So here is the Home Selling Tip #1: Facebook Advertising.   You can create an advertisement on Facebook with pictures and a compelling description of your home to display directly on the newsfeed of people “likely to move” in your city who earn the income necessary to buy your home. That’s why Facebook earns billions of dollars a year – you can advertise your home directly to people who may want to move with the financial means to buy your home. Here’s how you do it. 1. Create a Facebook post like this.2. Run an advertisement to the following audience on Facebook. A few dollars a day will get the message out. Expect people to message you or leave a comment on your Facebook post to learn more about your home. The best part of Facebook advertising is you’ll reach people who are not actively searching for a home, but when they see your home, they may become interested. This is especially true for exotic or luxury properties. You can advertise homes on a golf course to golf enthusiasts or homes with horse stables to equestrians, too.  If you’d like help setting this type of ad up let us know.  We are happy to walk you through it, or do it for you. If we work together, this is an advertising cost we cover for you. We also have a database of potential homebuyers we can advertise the property to on Facebook as well. Next week we will share what to say to a potential buyer when they call to inquire about your property. You’ll learn the best questions to ask so you don’t waste your time on “tire-kickers”. You’ll make sure they come prepared to your showing to make a competitive offer to buy. Let us know if we can help in any way, and give us a call or send us an email if you have any questions at all. We look forward to hearing from you!

Generosity is good for your body, mind, and spirit. Today, the director of Project Hawaii, Inc., Magin Patrik discusses how to get involved with her organization. Project Hawaii's mission is to enhance the lives of homeless children and help them throughout the year. The goal is to help these kids escape the cycle of poverty that they are born into. With Christmas ahead, you can help provide gifts, clothing, shoes, and toys to these children. Project Hawaii Inc. will have toy drives set up this weekend in Pearl City and Kane'Ohe. Throughout the year, we accept donations for hygiene products, food boxes, clothing, and school assistance. The primary goal is to keep these children focused on school, and Project Hawaii Inc. replenishes school supplies for these children. If you have any questions, check out the Project Hawaii Inc. website. Magin will also be joining us on our radio show, so be sure to tune in on Saturday at 11:00 a.m on AM830 KHVH. As always, if you have any questions about real estate, give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!
