When you decide to sell your home, you’re not just putting a property on the market—you’re making one of the most significant financial decisions of your life. Naturally, the next question is: how will it be marketed to ensure it sells for the highest possible price, in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of stress?
At Amherst Madison, we take that responsibility seriously. Our approach to marketing goes well beyond simply listing your home on the MLS. We execute a highly strategic, multi-channel campaign that captures attention, generates interest, and drives serious offers.
Here’s exactly how we do it—and why our marketing strategy continues to deliver results for homeowners throughout Idaho.
We Start With a Strategic Marketing Plan, Not Just a Listing
Every home is unique, and so is every seller’s situation. That’s why our marketing process starts with strategy—not a template. We begin by evaluating your home’s specific strengths, location, buyer appeal, and market conditions. Then, we build a customized plan to highlight its best features and attract the right kind of attention.
We consider:
- Who the likely buyers are
- Where those buyers are searching
- What emotional and lifestyle elements the home offers
- How to differentiate the property from others on the market
This upfront strategy allows us to position your home effectively from day one and ensures that every marketing asset we create has a purpose.
Professional Visuals That Tell a Story
In today’s real estate market, presentation is everything. Buyers are flooded with listings across dozens of platforms. To make your home stand out, we invest in the visuals that make buyers stop scrolling.
Our listing package includes:
- Professional photography using natural light and composition techniques to highlight space and features
- Aerial drone footage to showcase property size, views, and location context
- Cinematic videography for engaging walk-through experiences
- Virtual staging or full staging consultations to make empty or cluttered spaces feel inviting
- High-quality digital flyers and brochures that look sharp online or in print
Every image, every video, and every graphic is designed to evoke emotion, create connection, and spark desire. Buyers shouldn’t just see your home—they should feel something when they do.
Compelling Copywriting That Sells the Lifestyle
Words matter. A listing description is more than just a breakdown of square footage and features—it’s an opportunity to tell a story.
We craft compelling, professionally written property descriptions that:
- Highlight benefits, not just features
- Tell the story of the home’s lifestyle and design
- Create a sense of possibility and place
- Inspire buyers to take the next step
From the title of your listing to the body of every ad or flyer, we ensure the language aligns with the tone of your home and speaks directly to your ideal buyer.
Maximum Exposure: Where Your Listing Goes
Once your home is visually and verbally polished, we launch it across a wide variety of digital and traditional platforms to ensure it reaches as many potential buyers as possible. But it’s not about being everywhere—it’s about being everywhere that matters.
MLS and Property Search Platforms
We start by placing your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which feeds into countless real estate search engines and agent tools. Your property will appear on:
- Zillow
- Realtor.com
- Redfin
- Trulia
- Homes.com
- Dozens of local brokerage and agent websites
This syndication ensures your home is visible to buyers searching online and agents representing active clients.
Premium Syndication and Paid Advertising
At Amherst Madison, we don’t stop at free listings. We pay for premium positioning and targeted advertising to maximize visibility and engagement. This includes:
- Boosted posts and video ads on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
- Sponsored content placements across Google Display Network
- Custom digital ad campaigns geotargeted by ZIP code, income level, or search behavior
- Retargeting ads that follow interested buyers as they browse other websites
These tools help ensure your home shows up more often, to more qualified buyers, increasing the chance of generating multiple offers.
Social Media Campaigns
Our in-house marketing team creates and manages custom social campaigns to highlight your listing in dynamic ways:
- Teaser reels and video walk-throughs
- Instagram Stories and Highlights
- Facebook Events for open houses
- Just Listed posts shared across agent and brokerage networks
With more buyers than ever discovering homes through social media, this is a critical component of your home’s marketing campaign.
Direct Prospecting and Agent-to-Agent Communication
We actively market your home to our personal network of agents and prospective buyers. This includes:
- Internal announcements to our brokerage and affiliate networks
- One-on-one outreach to agents with qualified buyers
- Custom email campaigns to buyer databases
- Calls to top-performing agents in surrounding markets
Sometimes, the right buyer is just one connection away. Our deep relationships and direct outreach give your home a serious advantage over listings that rely solely on passive exposure.
Print Media and Traditional Marketing
While digital marketing is dominant, print still plays a key role—especially for high-end or traditional buyers. Our strategy includes:
- Professionally printed brochures for open houses and private showings
- Just Listed mailers to surrounding neighborhoods
- Luxury real estate magazine features through our network
- Window displays and local signage where appropriate
These touchpoints reinforce the perception of quality and care that goes into your home sale.
Exclusive Global Exposure Through LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio
Through our exclusive affiliation with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International®, your listing can gain exposure in over 70 countries and across six continents.
This global network allows us to:
- Share your listing with buyers relocating to Idaho
- Promote high-end listings to international investors
- Feature your home in global property showcases
- Leverage relocation services for out-of-state job transfers
With over $296 billion in sales volume, this network generates more home sales than any real estate franchise in the country—and your home can be a part of it.
Creating Buyer Buzz That Drives Action
Marketing your home is more than exposure—it’s about creating buzz and urgency. We don’t just wait for inquiries to come in; we proactively generate interest by:
- Launching a coordinated “Coming Soon” campaign before your listing goes live
- Scheduling and promoting open houses and private tours
- Hosting virtual open houses for remote buyers
- Offering incentives for fast closings or competitive offers
Our goal is to create a sense of momentum and exclusivity that motivates buyers to act fast and offer strong.
Lead Nurturing That Converts Curiosity Into Offers
Once the inquiries begin, we engage each one with purpose. Our agents are trained to respond quickly, answer questions thoroughly, and provide a personalized experience to keep interest alive. We:
- Follow up with all showing agents for feedback
- Offer virtual tours and video walk-throughs for out-of-town buyers
- Provide digital brochures and follow-up materials
- Guide interested buyers through the offer process with clarity and confidence
This proactive communication often leads to faster offers and higher closing rates.
What We Distribute: Clean, Clear, and Captivating Collateral
Our marketing materials are carefully designed to give buyers what they need—quickly and attractively. That means:
- Professionally formatted listing pages with mobile optimization
- One-click access to scheduling tools
- Downloadable flyers, floor plans, and disclosures
- Interactive virtual tours and photo galleries
With buyers making decisions in seconds, we ensure every asset is built to convert.
Controlling Your Data, Protecting Your Interests
Not all syndication is good syndication. At Amherst Madison, we take care to distribute your listing only to platforms that respect your privacy, protect your data, and promote your home in a way that aligns with your best interests.
You deserve a marketing campaign that prioritizes quality over quantity, and visibility without compromising control.
