That’s where our expert marketing services come in. Our team of experienced professionals has been helping sellers just like you attract more buyers to their properties for years, and we’re ready to do the same for you. Why settle for the first offer that comes in when you can market smartly and maximize your profit?

The Importance of a Comparable Market Analysis

Any seasoned real estate agent will come prepared with a comparable market analysis (CMA) when it’s time to talk about listing your property. This report is more than numbers and holds higher value than tossing some digits out there and hoping you want to list at that price.

The reality is a CMA utilizes similar properties in the area that’ve recently sold to help create an average sales price for you to discuss. This includes homes that are similar in build, layout, and age. The reason agents use CMA’s to help price a property is that it helps you decide how to best market the place and gives you an idea on what you can expect potential buyers to offer. It offers genuine insight to the current market and an honest starting point.

Customized Marketing Strategy

Once you’ve talked about the listing price of the place, it’s important that you discuss marketing. Experienced agents are aware of the digital world and of the possibilities it brings when it comes to sharing the place online. Marketing strategies such as local newspapers and word of mouth aren’t entirely outdated, but they’re also not the most effective way to market a property anymore.

Home buyers aren’t solely located in your area, and many times there are buyers from nearby counties, neighboring states, and even other countries that could possibly be looking for homes in Toccoa, GA.

Working alongside the right real estate agent in Toccoa, GA, you’ll be able to rely on them to craft the perfect marketing plan for today’s real estate market. An experienced agent may use advertisement trips such as

Professional Photography and Videography
Social Media platforms (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc)
MLS websites (and other nationally recognized real estate platforms)
Mailouts to previous customers
Email Newsletter Campaigns
Virtual Tours
And much more.

Industry Experts

Finding the right real estate agent can be tricky. Many times, you may know a family friend or a friend of a friend that’s in the business, or you might even have a connection in the industry that works in another county. That’s not always the best route to go, and while loyalty goes a long way, selling your house is more than a quick transaction.

The right agent will understand that it’s more than a quick way for them to make money and they’ll be prepared to tackle even the biggest job.

From negotiations to local knowledge, having an experienced REALTOR by your side is a must. Selling a home is a significant deal, and it comes with many emotional moments as well as binding agreements that can get confusing and be difficult to keep up with. With a licensed real estate agent in your corner, you’ll have professional representation to guide you through every step of the process and somebody that’s ready to go to bat for you and stand firm on what you reasonably deserve during the sale.

An industry expert will be knowledgeable about the area, have a deep understanding of the current market, and be there to reassure you and answer any questions as you prepare, list, and negotiate with buyers.

Don’t be afraid to interview several agents and compare the services they offer. At the end of the day, it’s important that you find an agent you feel comfortable discussing the property with and one that you trust.

I worked with Laura Vandal to sell some land in Georgia. She did an absolutely fabulous job for me! She contacted the buyer and the lawyer’s office and made all of these communications go very smoothly. I am an out-of-town seller, so I very much needed her local expertise and experience. I highly recommend Laura to anyone needing a realtor!

Laura Vandal is the best real estate agent there is! I was working with someone else when I found her and I wasn’t happy with who I had and she went above and beyond for me. I inquired about a home at midnight the night before and she messaged me at 6:45 am that morning to make plans to see a home. She did whatever it took to get me to that home to view it. I knew she was the one when she did that. She has been amazing since then. She found us our dream home in Martin and I couldn’t be happier. She is very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything we needed to since we were first time home buyers. I couldn’t have done any of this without her and I’m truly grateful for her and her team. If you want the best buying experience, you have to go to Laura. You won’t regret it!!!!!!

I am honored to have this opportunity to share our gratitude regarding our experience with Laura Vandal at Talan Properties. My mother and I were guided to Laura by one of her clients to seek her services in selling my mother's property. From the beginning, we built a great rapport with Laura. She has excellent communication skills and a firm understanding of what it means to serve her clients in their endeavor to market and sell their property. From our first contact with her until the closing was completed, she worked diligently with us through the process of preparing the property for listing, working with the photographers, communicating with us and the buyer's agent, and answering any questions we had throughout the process. She gave us a sense of comfort in a very stressful time with her calm demeanor and confident manner. Through her familiarity with the market and knowledge of real property values, Laura was able to suggest a reasonable and fair listing price. The property was under contract in less than a week, and the sale closed about two weeks afterward.Thank you, Laura! It's been a pleasure working with you. And thank you, Talan Properties for having Laura as an outstanding asset for your agency. She's a keeper!

Laura Vandal was a blessing in our search for a home in Georgia! Searching Lake Hartwell listings on line from NJ was incredibly frustrating until Zillow referred us to Laura and Talan Properties. She was incredibly responsive and patient throughout our process of figuring out what we actually wanted, and then helping us land it well within our budget!). Laura has always been upbeat and proactive, and no request was ever too great or inconvenient. Importantly, she facilitated our process with a community of trusted resources. Laura acted quickly on our behalf in viewing properties and negotiating price, which was critical in this market. She even attended the closing in our absence. Even after closing, Laura and the team at Talon have been incredibly helpful in finding trustworthy contractors and services in our new home. Trust Laura and Talon to have your best interest at heart!

We struck gold with Laura Vandal! Easily one of the most pleasurable real estate experiences we have ever had! We live out-of-state and worked with Laura to sell a land lot in Northern Georgia. She got it sold for us in less than 2 weeks and we were very happy with the price! She was a very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and just all-around good, honest person to work with. Very highly recommend. Thank you Laura!
