Why Hire Kimberly to Sell Your Home?

Numerous Reasons! Here’s What’s in It For You!

Not all real estate agents are the same! There are vast differences that could affect you and your wallet directly. Here are some ways Kimberly is different from other agents.

  • Extensive Internet Exposure

    Eighty seven percent of all buyers begin their home search on the Internet. Kimberly understands that the Internet is where today’s marketing dollars need to be spent. Most real estate agents’ homes do not appear on the following sites. Kimberly pays an extra fee to ensure her listings can be found on the following websites and more.





  • Top Placement So Buyers Find Your Home First

    When you list your home for sale with Kimberly, your home will appear as a Featured Home on Realtor.com. Featured Homes are seen 500 percent more often than Non-Featured Homes. This is an expensive marketing tool of which Kimberly absorbs the cost for her clients. Kimberly wants to ensure that your home captures the attention of as many buyers as possible—6 million viewers shopping for a home utilizing realtor.com each month. Kimberly was the first and remains one of a select few Realtors in Gig Harbor utilizing this powerful online tool.  Look at the results.

  • FREE Professional Photography

    Studies have shown that 87% of all buyers begin their home shopping experience on the Internet. The study went on to say that Buyers only view 10 homes before they make a purchase.  It’s critical that your home be in the top ten homes.  Fabulous photos are critical. Kimberly hires a professional photographer to photograph your home. Kimberly’s photographer specialized in shooting homes and has all the special lenses required to do so. Take a look at some of these photographs. And remember…all if this is FREE to you when you list your home with Kimberly.

  • FREE Home Staging

    Research has proven that staged homes sell 50% faster than unstaged homes and for 6.9% more money.  Because staging is an important piece of the marketing process Kimberly provides this service free to her clients. 

    Unlike most Realtors, Kimberly includes not only the initial consultation for a staging professional but she also includes the rental of small furniture pieces, lamps, artwork, accessories, etc.,  No nasty $500/month rental fees most Realtors ask you to pay. EVERYTHING is FREE!
    If “staging” is a new term to you, watch the TV show, “Sell This House.” It’s a terrific example of the power of staging a home for sale. Kimberly has invested thousands of dollars in props and merchandise. In today’s highly competitive market it’s important to utilize every advantage to sell your home.

    “A recent study of 2,800 homes in nine U.S. cities showed that, on average, staged homes sold in half the time that non-staged homes did. The cost of hiring a company to stage your home ranges from $1,800-$3,800 but can go much higher, depending on the size of your home and the amount of work involved.”
