Real Estate Office Advertising

Real Estate Office Advertising

As mentioned previously, advertising your home in newspapers and magazines rarely sells your home directly. Most buyers begin their search for real estate online these days. Buyers are more likely to see your home on Realtor.com, Trulia.com or Zillow.com than they are in a local newspaper.

You still want to be certain the real estate company selling your house runs some ads, whether they feature your house or not. Ads do generate interest from home buyers. Those buyers may go online to see more pictures or bring the ad to their buyer’s agent. Or you could be one of the lucky ones – someone calling on your house may actually end up buying it.

You should also realize that when a company advertises the homes they have for sale, there is more than one objective. Sure, the real estate office wants to generate phone calls and sell those houses, but the truth is print advertising also shows home sellers how effectively they market properties.

The advertising brings in more listings, which generate more ad calls, which produces more buyers….and that is how real estate advertising really works.

We had the best experience working with Jamie for the purchase of our first home. She was so great walking us through each step of the process. She was always super responsive and flexible to go to showings with us at the drop of a dime which definitely made the difference in getting our offer accepted. We would 10/10 recommend her to friends, family, and anyone looking for an amazing real estate agent!read more

My wife and I worked with Jamie Henry from White sands and we can't say enough good things about our experience. We were looking remotely from the Chicago area and Jamie was instrumental in being our eyes and ears on the ground. I've always found real estate transactions to be very stressful but having a partner like Jamie put all that at ease.I would highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Naples area.read more

Can’t say enough about our realtor Jamie Henry from White Sands Realty Naples Florida. When I met her, I was impressed with her knowledge of Naples . She had a list of locations to visit and explained the pros and cons of each . Never felt rushed to buy at any locations. She showed us the beauty of North Naples . The beaches, restaurants and happy hour locations lol . It was an enjoyable time , which was literally the whole day at looking at properties . She is always accessible by phone and that was a big help since I was from NY. We ended buying a new construction home and couldn’t be happier ! Thank you Jamie !!read more

We cannot say enough good things about JAMIE HENRY, who worked so hard in finding our “dream home” in Naples. We were very particular in our needs, and she didn’t waste our time showing us homes that were not right for us. We also loved that she spent time in taking us all around the area and pointed out highlights that were helpful in us making a final decision. You will love her positive attitude and hard work in finding you the perfect home!read more

My wife and I purchased our dream vacation home on Vanderbilt Beach in Naples, Florida in September 2020 in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic. This goal could not have been achieved without the help and expertise provided by Steve and Gorana Saner who displayed superior knowledge of the Naples real estate market. For many years my wife and I discussed purchasing a second home in the Naples area. Having some knowledge of the area we knew we wanted to be near Vanderbilt Beach and preferably on the beach itself. My wife and I communicated our preferences to Steve and Gorana with a budget range. Over the course of several months in mid-2020 Steve and Gorana were able to translate our requirements into a list of properties that they believed met our objectives. In August 2020, Steve and Gorana sent a newly listed property to us that my wife and I fell in love with. We knew we had to act quickly because the property was competitively priced, in a great location and would not last long on the market. My wife and I did not have time to fly to Naples to view this property so Steve and Gorana suggested we do a FaceTime walk-through. Usually, we like to visit and physically inspect a property before deciding to make an offer or not, but time was of the essence, and we agreed to the FaceTime walk-through. On the day of the walk-through Steve and Gorana were very thorough in their approach to viewing the property. The video presentation on FaceTime was very clear and all areas of the property were covered. The walk-through was interactive with my wife and I asking questions along the way. The process was so seamless that it almost seemed as if we were physically present at the walk-through. As we felt our main questions were answered to our satisfaction, my wife and I decided to make an offer on the property shortly after the walk-through. Steve and Gorana handled the negotiations and the offer and contracting process with expertise and professionalism, and everything required to make the offer was done electronically. Having purchased several other properties in the past, this had to be the smoothest offer and acceptance process we ever experienced. Having finally visited the property after our offer was accepted, there were no surprises to deal with and the closing went as smoothly as the offer and contracting phases. My wife and I could not be happier with our decision to buy this property and Steve and Gorana were the ones who made it happen.read more

We purchased a home in Naples. FL through White Sands Realty during a very tumultuous time in the market. We expected, and were prepared for, a long and involved process. Instead, Ryan Ehman made it simple and painless. He was professional and very accommodating with respect to our particular needs. My wife and I cannot believe the purchase went as flawlessly as it did. Nor did we expect Ryan to guide us through all the other little problems in settling into a new space. He recommended a host of companies that could respond quickly to some minor "fixes" to the property. I guess part of being a realtor is needing to know a few dozen tradesmen and Ryan goes overboard on that front. Ryan is on of the best and we highly recommend him to anybody planning to purchase a home in this area.read more

When searching to relocate within the Naples area, we knew we were in for a wild ride. We knew the real estate market was a tough one, but Jamie Henry took “the bull by the horns” and helped my family and I find the forever home of our dreams! Jamie’s bubbly personality can make any day brighter, and having her by our side as we searched tirelessly for a home in Naples made the process so much better. Her spirit remained high and it paid off, as we now enjoy our mornings sipping coffee and listening to the birds in our new forever Florida home. If you are looking for a home in Naples, give Jamie a call! She’s well versed in the area, and is always hard at work for her clients. Thank you so much, Jamie!- Sammieread more

We had the best buying experience of our new vacation home, due to the expertise of Steve and Gorana Saner. We had not bought a home since we purchased the home that we live in in Pa. 43 years ago, so to say we were super unexperienced in the process of home buying is an understatement. Steve and Gorana guided us through everything in this ever changing market. We first dealt with Steve after signing up on the White Sands Website. He sent us properties that were in our price range and the types that we were interested in. He did not bug us, he just checked in with us every few months. When we were ready to seriously look we arranged a visit from PA and both Gorana and Steve accommodated our schedule even being available the weekend before Memorial Day. We were determined that we were not going to pay over the asking price for our new home even in this market,where that was the rule rather than the exception. Before our trip to Florida Gorana became involved and put together a nice mix of old and new properties that met our criteria as far as size, location, price and amenities. By time we arrived at least half had been sold and this was only in a couple of days! Gorana put together more properties that fit all the criteria above and this went on for the four days we spent with them. We feel that we saw a lot of properties both old and new, in that time frame thanks to their diligence and knowledge of the Naples area. We honestly did not think we would find a house, since things were so volatile, but we did and it was the second property that we saw, we liked it but did not know it was going to be ours until we put an offer on it for the asking price and it was accepted! From then on Steve and Gorana guided us to settlement. Steve had called us before our trip and went through the agreement of sale so we thoroughly understood it so when it came time to put the offer in we could do it seamlessly with no delay, which is what you have to do in this market to get a property you love. So after the offer was accepted there were some other pitfalls that we had to get through due to the history of the property we were purchasing, but Steve and Gorana were right with us every step of the way until we finally reached settlement. So now we are proud owners of a beautiful Naples home in a beautiful gated golf community, that honestly we did not think it would happen as fast as it did. We would highly recommend Steve and Gorana Saner for their professionalism, knowledge of real estate and their knowledge of the Naples area and their overall personality. Although, they were definitely professional they also were friendly and caring through the process and we feel as though we have gained two new friends in the Naples area.read more

When we decided to build a house in Naples, we asked Lindsey Dyer to help us find a lot and a builder. We knew from an existing relationship that she is sharp, organized, and detail oriented, so we had confidence that she was the best person for us. The complexity of being several hours away made it even more important to have an agent whose judgment we could trust.Lindsey found a beautiful lot for us in a perfect location, as well as builder who has been knowledgeable and accommodating. Her recent experience in building her last two homes has provided her with a wealth of information that she has readily shared – it was not necessary for us to know what questions to ask. As construction has progressed, Lindsey has kept us informed, sent pictures, and remained in contact with the builder’s team. We have really appreciated having a knowledgeable agent whose judgment we trust to supplement our contact with the builder and serve as our local presence.read more

We contacted Douglas Olmstead by chance when researching homes for sale in Naples, FL. Did we get lucky! He was professional and friendly and knew quite a bit about the Naples area. But I have to add that in my opinion, Douglas went ABOVE and BEYOND his realtor duties. Because we live out of state, Douglas was always happy to check out a property for us and send us pictures or facetime. He always responded promptly and also gave us great advice which was very much appreciated since we have been out of the house buying market for 35 plus years. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Douglas and White Sands Realty. Thank you Douglas for helping us purchase our home in Naples, FL.read more

Steve Saner Is an excellent very responsive real estate agent who helped us find and secure our dream home in Naples Florida. Steve has been very patient with us since we were very specific about the needs that we had for our new home in Florida. He has been working with us for a while and we thought that we would have to wait another year to secure a property. However Steve was very proactive and we trusted his opinion on a home we bought, site unseen. We are amazed at our purchase as we sit in our new home right now. Steve was active throughout the whole process from pre-purchase through actually the closing it was a great help to us in our new move to Florida. We highly recommend Steve as your real estate agent. He was very low-key and no pressure and was very valuable with information on the Naples area that sold us to move here.read more

Peter Warrick-Marsh and Doug Olmsted are refined professionals. They completely understood what we needed to accomplish in our short two day stay. When we arrived in Naples they had a number of properties to present to us based on our criteria. Their connections and knowledge of the area meant they were able to expertly guide us to our perfect new home. Peter is patient, diligent, prepared and gracious. Doug is insightful, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. In under 48 hours we signed a contract. It took all the guess work and countless exhaustive hours out of the process for us. Peter even helped us find temporary accommodation close to our new home until its ready for move in.

Over the years I have used a number of real estate brokers with regard to purchasing and selling homes. The experience I had with White Sands Realty and Doug Olmsted has clearly been my best experience—-by far. Everything you would want in utilizing a real estate broker you can find in Doug. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly and always available. He tells it like it is and is a valuable asset in house hunting in the Naples area. There are many brokers and associates who have come into this field as an afterthought or simply because they weren’t able to find a job in their chosen profession—-and those individuals you should avoid at all costs. On the other hand, Doug has been a broker for 25 years and has enormous expertise that will make buying or selling a house or condo a fabulous and enlightening experience. You simply can’t go wrong using Doug and White Sands Realty. If I could, I would give him 7 Stars.read more
