How We Transform Listings

In the ever-evolving landscape of real estate, selling a property for the highest possible price is a common goal for sellers and real estate agents alike. While various factors influence the sale price, one strategy stands out as a game-changer: attention to detail. 

With a keen eye for detail, our agents understand what buyers are looking for. We will communicate any preparations, make recommendations, and arrange staging when necessary. 

In cottage country’s competitive seasonal real estate market, captivating photos and video of your home are your ticket to success. Enhance your property's appeal with professional interior and exterior shots to attract more buyers and maximize your outcome. But, before the marketing material can be created, it’s important to set the stage. 

 

Eye Catching Media

We work with the best cinematographers in the industry to create jaw dropping specialized content strategically designed to resonate with the most discerning real estate audiences in the world. 

At The Janssen Group we understand that each property is unique and therefore requires a tailored media and marketing project to ensure the property is displayed in its best light. We take a strategic approach and look at your property through the eyes of a potential buyer. As local Realtors we know what our audience is looking for. And partnering with an experienced cinematographer results in eye-catching, high-resolution videos and photographs.

Selling Your Home with Strategic Pricing

Pricing your home accurately from the beginning is a critical step in ensuring a successful, seamless sale. When a home is initially overpriced, experienced buyers’ agents will steer their clients toward more competitively priced listings instead. As a result, your listing risks becoming stagnant with fewer showings (and fewer offers).
 
Setting the right price from the start avoids these pitfalls, ensuring your home receives the attention it deserves.
