Marking Listings the M Way
/I'm super excited to share how M Realty has been marketing listings. I was on the
development team that worked for several months to amp up how listings are marketed to buyers. The part I'm most excited about is that we are really telling the story of a home, and using the best print and online materials to express this story to buyers. Check out the property website to see the Story, the Gallery, and how we communicated the home to buyers. The listing that we first implemented this new strategy on went pending in just 6 days, and I know that is is due to the sheer number of people who experienced the home. The house is a quality property, and the quality was expressed in the marketing materials.
The most exciting thing about the marketing for this listing is that we really show all the main benefits of living in this home. The gourmet kitchen, the great room. the rooftop deck, the neighborhood, these are all things that most buyers are interested in, and by showing how they will be used by the future owner, they begin to be emotionally attached to the home and imagine themselves living in it.

This marketing plan will be applied to all of my listings, if you or someone you know has a property that needs this level of marketing to sell a home, please contact me for a presentation of the full marketing materials.
Vegetables gardens are usually thought of as being a SE Portland staple, but with cedar planting boxes, they have made inroads in NE Portland. Here are some of the nicest looking ones, and most functional, that I saw this week in Rose City Parks. To view homes for sale in this neighborhood, see the 
Portland neighborhood of the same name. It has an off leash dog area, two baseball fields with bleachers, tennis courts, and the fantastic Harper's Playground. The neighborhood of Arbor Lodge is great place to live, for all the active real estate listings near the park, view the
the summer, tennis courts, playground, track, baseball and soccer fields, as well as an off leash dog area. It is known for it's statue and fountain of Beverly Cleary's Ramona. It also has gorgeous trees and meadows that are perfect for picnics! To view all the homes for sale in Grant Park, view the 
many shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. If you are a coffee lover, then being able to live in Beaumont would put you in walking distance to many great cafes. Below is a photo gallery of my favorites, from Starbucks, to Ristretto Roasters, and local favorite Jim and Patty's. You can can see
