Here Are Golden Real Estate’s Value Add’s for Clients

[Published Oct. 22, 2015, in most Jeffco editions of the Denver Post's YourHub section and in three Jefferson County weekly newspapers]

At Golden Real Estate, we’re always on the lookout for new and helpful benefits we can provide to our clients — both sellers and buyers.

A good example of that is our free moving truck, which has now logged over 103,000 miles — mostly for buyers and sellers but also for churches and other non-profits. Since U-Haul charges nearly a dollar per mile in addition to their daily rentals, you can easily see that we have saved our clients over $100,000 by providing free use of this truck. It also comes with blankets, dollies, free moving boxes and packing paper/bubble wrap. 

Another added value for sellers is that we promote all our company listings in this page 3 advertisement, which has a circulation of 135,000 in eight different newspapers, including all Jeffco editions of the Denver Post’s YourHub section.

We shoot state-of-the-art HDR photographs for all listings.  This process produces pictures with perfect lighting for all elements of the photograph, including the views out the windows.  This is the kind of photos you see in the glossy magazines.

Here's an example of the same picture with and without HDR processing:

We shoot narrated video tours of all our listings and post the videos on our own website, on YouTube, the MLS, Zillow, Trulia, etc.

We purchase distinctive URL web addresses for each listing, such as for the listing at left. That helps buyers find the listing’s website more easily.

We provide a free staging consultation to help our listings show their best. Our stager is also available at an affordable rate to help the seller pack and organize their belongings.

We install attractive wooden yard sign posts and install solar lighting fixtures on them so buyers can see the signs after dark.

We promote our listings using highly targeted Facebook advertising. We find it’s very effective!

We reduce our listing commission when we sell a listing ourselves and don’t have to share the commission with a buyer’s agent.  Other agents will do this if asked, but they hope you won’t ask!
