Active versus Passive - How would you like YOUR home marketed? (edit/delete)
It seems that many Realtors have gotten passive in recent years. After all, nothing more than a sign in the lawn, and sometimes not even that, was needed to sell a home in the early 00's. The idea of marketing or SELLING either went by the wayside or was never learned.
I remember when I first got my license, back in 1995, my broker gave me the phone book and said "here's your leads, a whole book of them". He gave me some scripts and off I was. I got a lot of phones slammed in my ear but, as time went on, I got better at finding something to tell people - a message they'd want to hear.
Today, I still use the telephone. I make 50-100 calls each and every day asking people if they'd like to buya aprticular home, if they know someone who would or if they'd like to sell their home. I find this ACTIVE marketing far more effective and less expensive than the passive tools of advertising in the newspaper, holding open houses and hoping that a buyer will happen to come along to buy the home.
In htis market, I feel that Active marketing is imperative for selling homes. If you'd like to sell your home and you agree that passive marketing cannot be as effective as some of the techniques that I use to sell homes, contact me and let's discuss the tools that I use to get your home sold.

Why Bucks County?
Let me tell you why I came to love Bucks County, and think you will too:
Award winning schools Our schools are not only among the best in the state but, they are among the best in the country. Top flight facilities, administrators and teachers who care and involved parents make our public schools an ideal place for young people to get an education.
Open Space Bucks County has spent the last 10 years preserving every bit of farmland that can be preserved. This land is saved as open space and working farms, allowing our farmers to stay on their property, working their land and providing quality fresh produce to the areas residents while still enjoying some payoff for the accumulated value of their land. This is how we beat the developers to the punch and control sprawl and traffic congestion.
Recreation Whether it's horseback riding at our many local stables, drowning worms in the Delaware River or one of the many lakes and streams stocked with trout and native fish, tubing down the Delaware on a lazy afternoon- where tubing was invented - or hiking through our beautiful parkland, there is something for everyone. Skiing is within an hours drive, boating on the river is loved by many and, of course, you can always spend a day picking, peaches, apples, strawberries or anything else your heart desires.
History 1776 was here. Bucks County is the home of Washington Crossing, PA. The spot of the famous Christmas night crossing of the Delaware that is seen by many as the final victory of the Revolutionary war. George Washington certainily did sleep here and many of the landmarks still stand and are available for touring, including the annual Christmas Day crossing reenactment. If you prefer, I can always show you some beautiful newer homes in Washington Crossing. It's a great place to call home.
Culture Live theater and art right here in New Hope, 30 minutes to Philadelphia, 30 minutes to Princeton and an hour on the train to New York, you're never out of reach of whatever it is your heart desires. Museums, theater, concerts are all easily accessable. You say you like antiquing? This is the place!
These are just some of the reasons that "I Love Bucks County". Come see for yourself everything that this beautiful area has to offer to you and your family. Bucks County PA is a fabulous place to live and raise your family. Give me a call. Let me know when you'd like to pay us a visit and I'll be happy to show you around town.
