The Patterson-Schwartz Advantage
Successfully getting your home sold is accomplished with a multi-faceted Marketing Plan - no other broker does more to get your home sold!
The Patterson-Schwartz Name - Our name alone affords your property with the highest visibility.
Our Sales Associate Expertise - When it comes to selling, your Patterson-Schwartz Sales Associate is someone who knows the local market as well as your community. Your Patterson-Schwartz Sales Associate will help price your home properly, will market your home to attract the most qualified buyers, and is a skilled negotiator to ensure that you are getting the best possible price for your home. In addition, your Patterson-Schwartz Sales Associate is backed by an entire team committed to helping you navigate a real estate market that is experiencing changing home prices, uncertain financing, new appraisal guidelines, and difficult negotiations — all of which require expert market knowledge.
Immediate Exposure - Once your property enters our system it is exposed to over 350 Patterson-Schwartz Associates and their buyers through our email alert technology. Your property information is available, as well, to other area Realtors who are members of TReND, MRIS and Sussex County, our Multiple Listing Services
Maximum Online Marketing - As soon as your home is listed for sale with Patterson-Schwartz it appears on the homepage of pattersonschwartz.com for a full week of prominent market exposure as well as inclusion in our searchable database. We showcase your property with up to 25 color photographs, virtual tour, detail text description and pinpoint on an area map. In addition, your property will have its own unique property website. Potential buyers will receive an email the same day if your home matches their search criteria. Your property will also be included on the other real estate search websites such as: realtor.com, delawareonline.com, Google, Yahoo real estate, zillow.com, trulia.com, msn.com, frontdoor.com, homes.com, relohomesearch.com, to name just a few.
Online inquiries on your home are handled by a dedicated Customer Service group, 7 days a week from 8:30am to 8:00pm. They provide a quick response to inquiries and showing requests so that there is never a lost opportunity to expose your home to a potential buyer.
Lawn Signs with Home-text:) - Our distinctive Patterson-Schwartz lawn sign is well recognized and prominently displayed on your property. This alone generates a significant amount of inquiries by potential buyers. And, with your Home-text:) sign rider, prospective buyers can get immediate information about your home including interior photos, features, agent contact information and a link to your homes mobile web page by using their mobile device to send us a text message. Home-text:) generates over 6000 text messages on average per month to prospective buyers.
Print Newspaper, Magazines, and Direct Mail - Selling your home involves the strategic blending of print and online advertising so that we reach the right target audience. Although print has become much less important to a potential homebuyer due to the use of the Internet in the home search process, it does serve a limited purpose. When you list your home with Patterson-Schwartz your Sales Associate may schedule a public Open House that will be featured in print in the local newspaper (as well as online on pattersonschwartz.com). Your property may also be advertised in other print publications including The News Journal, Open Door, Newark Post, Middletown Transcript, Cecil Whig, Daily Local News, Delaware State News, and Dover Post. As a compliment to print media, direct mail may be used to provide the broadest possible exposure.
Financing - We provide buyer prequalification through our mortgage partner, Shelter Mortgage. In addition, a buyer has convenient access to a Loan Officer in every office to apply for a mortgage. Facilitation of the financing process ensures a successful closing.

We are members of The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, a prestigious national network of more than 85,000 professional real estate associates in over 10,000 communities.
