"ASKING 4 DARLA"
MAKES DOLLARS AND SENSE

When it comes time to sell your property, it makes sense to work with a full-service broker like Edina Realty who can offer a wealth of benefits and services.

Professional Marketing
As one of Brainerd Lakes Area’s top producers, Darla offers you many sales tools, extensive marketing and a personal approach that inspires confidence and trust. Here are just a few of the marketing tools Darla offers you:

• Detailed marketing plan: Darla will create a marketing plan unique to your property. By exposing your home to the broadest possible audience through a coordinated marketing plan, you’ll have a better chance of attracting a qualified buyer.
• Advertising: Darla uses a mix of media, including radio, newspaper, magazine, the Internet and direct mail to get maximum exposure for your property—which means a quicker sale for you.
• Internet: Ask4Darla.com offers full-color, detailed property information and global exposure for all available properties—including yours. In addition, her Web site is now becoming consumers’ one stop for home-related information and services, so you know that thousands of potential buyers could preview your property online.
• Open houses (virtual and weekend): To ensure that your property gets plenty of exposure, Darla may hold a weekend open house. Or, your home may have a virtual home tour. Virtual tours are a great way for potential buyers to view your home before having an actual showing.
