More about Chris May
Welcome
This is where I'm supposed to tell you that I'm a native Atlantan, I love "Mid-Century Modern" homes and unusual architecture in general, that I used to be a manufactures rep back when I was in the corporate world until I decided it's time to actually ENJOY what you do and made the leap to real estate, but you don't care about all that do you? What you really want to know is... WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU! We'll lets just say I strive to I provide "above and beyond" service no matter if you are a buyer, or a seller. How am I different than most other agents? Lets start with how I help sellers:
Pictures
1. Pictures! How many times have you seen a home listed for sale and the pictures are NOT quality? I take my own photos with professional equipment. Your pictures will be awesome! Just review any of my past sales on this website to see. They will be wide angle, color corrected, crisp images. Im sure youve noticed on almost every website there are hardly ever any more than 25 pictures. Well, thats because the 2 primary listing services in the Atlanta Metro area, only accept 25 and that's where all the websites receive their data from. But some websites like Realtorwww, Zillow and ColdwellBankerAtlantawww are now able to show 36 pictures. Very few agents know how or even have the ability to get those additional pictures to the websites that will hold them but I do!
HD Video
Video! Youve heard A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, a video is worth them all! I take a quantum leap further in advertising my listings by shooting true HD video of your property. Were not talking about a shaky iPhone video, but rather very close to HGTV-quality video. Just check out my YouTube channel www.youtubewww/user/RavingFansRealEstate and see for yourself. I occasionally shoot video for fellow agents too, so you will see some of their listings as well on my channel. But what good is a great video if nobody ever sees it right? That brings me to my next point.
Web presence like no other!
Web presence! Most people assume if an agent puts their home on the multiple listing services, it will appear on all the home search websites but thats a myth. The listing services have to have permission from the brokerage as to what websites are allowed to receive their listing data. Since most brokerages are franchises and want to keep their costs low, they only push listings to a few websites. However, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage (where my real estate license is parked) is company owned rather than franchised, with 10 locations around Atlanta. Therefore, our marketing funds come from the national Coldwell Banker brand and its mother company NRT much more advertising power! That means when I list a home, Coldwell Banker has paid the money and has the relationships with a whopping 725 websites, putting your listing in front of 16 MILLION potential buyers each day! I have special tricks to drive traffic from all those websites to the HD video I produce too. If you want to sell your home for as much as possible and as quickly as possible, it has to be marketed to the largest possible pool of buyers. I can give your listing far more exposure than most other agents can!
Tricks up my sleeve...
A Few Other Tricks of my Trade! Not only does your listing end up on all those websites, but it will be a featured listing, which means that your home will always appear towards the top of the page on any searches that match its criteria on the key websites people generally search for homes on. Your listing will also stand out by having a different colored highlight compared to most of the other listings. Also, once someone clicks on your listing, the space to the right of the listing will have my contact info rather than the standard, random advertisements. Potential customers and other agents will easily find my contact information as your listing agent as well as fields for the potential buyer to fill out if they want more information about the property. If they fill out this simple online form and click submit, I immediately receive a voicemail and a text, telling me I have a new computer-generated lead for my listing from a particular website. I then call the interested party right away. In most cases, the potential buyer is still looking at the listing. I introduce myself as the listing agent and ask how can I help them, ensuring that I capture any interest in your property in real time. M
