Captain Vancouver uses the brand slogan "YOUR KEY ADVANTAGE TO SELL FASTER AND FOR MORE MONEY"
1. Since cash back is given on the completion date of each sale, our sellers do get "more money". The exact amount can be calculated at http://captainvancouver.com/cash-back.asp
For example on the completion date of a sale for $900,000.00 the seller will get $1,458.00 cash back.
2. The marketing department goes above and beyond the traditional approach of putting up a yard sign and listing on the MLS. Using the marketing dollars alocated, technology is leverged using online advertising techniques, and social media. Also each listing is placed on dozens of high quality websites around the world. Each listing is not only available on realtor.ca, but also by reciprocity agreement to hundreds of real estate brokerages and thousands of individual realtor websites in Canada. Since over 90% of home buyers shop online first, we believe this gives us a key advantage and enables us to sell faster than the old traditional approach. Since each listing has an a tangible advertising budget, this money is used for a custom marketing plan and targeted marketing to attract more attention to each sale. Results can seen through our proprietary data program providing statistics on each client dashboard. All this to increase visibility and to sell faster.
