January 2017 Real Estate Newsletter
The year 2016 closed with our landing at the number one spot for the Duck market. We’d like to thank all of you for your continued loyalty over the years. The majority of our business still comes from repeat clients and referrals, and we cannot tell you how much it means to us when you refer a friend or family member to us, so thank you again!
In October, Heather celebrated her 20th year at Twiddy & Company. And Mandi Jones has settled in as a full time Sales Assistant on the OBX Homes sales team.
We are very excited about the New Year and what we have to offer our clients for 2017. Technology has come a very long way in recent years, and we are proud to announce that Heather and Mandi are becoming E-Pro Realtors, expanding their knowledge and tech skills and advancing as true 21st century agents. One new technology is Matterport, a 3-D virtual tour like no other. It allows prospective buyers to take a virtual realty tour of the home online, and not just any virtual tour. This is a must see, if you aren’t yet familiar with this new camera system. You can view a demo of how it works on our recently updated www.obxhomes.com site. Scroll down under the home page/main menu to the Matterport icon and click “begin demo.” This new feature has greatly increased our marketing power and makes our listings really stand out.
Let us know what you think of the new website, as we’ve made some major improvements and changes to the look of the site. We’ve also increased our social media presence by adding OBX Homes Instagram & Pinterest accounts and a YouTube channel to our existing marketing.
One of our goals for this year is to have the monthly statistics posted on the website in order to eliminate some paper mailings. For those of you who wish to go paperless, please send us your email address, if you haven’t already, so that we can keep you updated in our database.
We’ve included the 2016 Year End statistics for your review. Just let us know if you’d like specific figures for your town or neighborhood, as the report we send contains figures for Southern Shores, Duck, Corolla, 4 Wheel Drive and Martin’s Point.
Please stop in for a visit next time you’re in town so you can meet Mandi.
Happy 2017!
