Selling Your Home

When not acting as your Western MA REALTOR…


I love to dance.

I have been dancing since I was two years old and started competitive dance when I was about nine. I haven’t left that high energy competitive circle, to date.

I nourish my need to dance by teaching at the school where I competed for so many years, New England Dance & Gymnastics Centers in Westfield, MA and Granby, CT.

It is amazing to me to consider that I have been on staff there since 1986, but it is totally true. I teach dancers age 4 and up from beginner to high level competitive dancers and am the Director of “The Kids Cabaret”, which is the musical theater department at the school.

My daughters both dance and sing with the competitive teams at New England Dance Centers making it now a generational passion (and multiplying my joy). I am so proud of the amazing students that I have had a hand in turning out from NEDC. Performers who have gone on to professional careers on Broadway and in movies and television. Dancers who have graduated and pursued their training at college or ballet schools. Students who don’t dance anymore, but carry the life lessons and song in their heart forevermore.

I am a full time real estate agent, that is my career and I love the satisfaction of helping my clients with the biggest purchase and sales of their lives. As fulfilling as that is, dance nourishes my spirit in a different way. Other people go to the gym, to therapists or dinner with friends. My part time evenings at the dance studio fulfills all of those needs while allowing my daughters and I to share time and joy in a combined interest and allowing me to keep passing my love of dance on to the next generation(s).

How many people can claim that they have hired a Dancing REALTOR? Heck, challenge me, I will tap dance for your business!

Does your Western MA Realtor do this? QR Codes for Real Estate

QR Code used by Lesley LambertWhat is a QR Code, you ask? Watch this QR Code video for a quick explanation of what a QR Code is and how it can be used to help sell your Western MA home.

It is an exciting time in the world of real estate marketing. Old school advertising campaigns don’t work and the internet is bringing fresh new ideas to the forefront. I am always learning and trying new media marketing techniques to help my sellers to sell their Western MA home.

Here are some ways that I use QR Codes to help market and sell homes in Western MA:

Sign riders.
I purchase a custom sign attachment for every listing with their individual property web page and a QR code prominently displayed to make it easy for buyers on the go to get information about a property they drove past.

Video.
Each of my properties gets a virtual tour video. I include the QR code as a slide at the end of the video.

My blog.
I have my QR Code badge displayed on the home page of my blog so that visitors can scan and go directly to a feed of all of my listings.

Print advertising.
I include the QR code on my “Just Listed” and “Just Sold” postcards.

Direct mail.
I am sending everyone in my sphere a mailing with a QR code and an invitation to try it out.

Flyers.
Your property flyer will have a QR Code displayed to make that flat piece of paper a multi-media experience.

Does Your Western MA REALTOR do this? 5 Facebook Marketing Tips to Sell Your Home

Did you know that Facebook statistics show they have:

* More than 500 million active users
* 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day
* Average user has 130 friends
* People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook

Perhaps you are even one of these growing numbers!

With this information at hand, doesn’t it make sense that you would want your home for sale presented to this vast audience/pool of prospective buyers?

With that in mind, I have techniques that I use to market the houses I represent for sale in Western MA on Facebook.

#1- My Fanpage has a tab that features my listings

#2- Every home gets a unique web site that has photos, videos, descriptions, open house dates, maps, area information and much more which is posted to my Facebook Fanpage wall

#3- Every property web page has a “Like” button on it. When clicked the property’s web page is pushed through to the users Facebook wall and seen by all of their friends in the newsfeed, allowing more exposure.

#4- Every property’s web page also has a “Share It” option (shown in the picture above) which allows the reader to send the listing to a number of places, including Facebook.

#5- My profile has a tab that features my current listings allowing people who are my friends, but not necessarily subscribers to my real estate fanpage access to view your property.
