How Susan Markets Your Home
A marketing plan that builds anticipation, urgency, and competition.
Buyers decide how they feel
before they ever walk in
Here's a truth I've learned in 25+ years of selling homes: a home's sale price comes down to how buyers feel about it before they ever walk in the door. The photos they see, the story the listing tells, the buzz that builds before the first showing, all of it shapes what someone is willing to offer.
So the job of marketing isn't just to advertise. It's to build anticipation, drive urgency, and engineer competition. With deep roots in Hamilton and Boone County, and modern marketing technology on top of decades of experience, that is exactly what I do for every seller I work with.
The 7-Day Stress-Free Home Sale System
Most sellers dread the open-ended listing that drags on for months. This system runs the opposite way: a short, structured, stress-free process that concentrates all the energy of a sale into one intense, productive week.
A 5-7 day "Coming Soon" window
Your home is listed as Coming Soon in the MLS for 5 to 7 days before it officially hits the active market. That window builds anticipation and lets serious buyers know something special is on the way.
Maximum digital exposure
Your property is promoted across Google, Facebook, YouTube, and major news sites, so the right buyers see your home more than once, in more than one place.
A professional visual suite
Professional photography plus drone video footage capture your home at its absolute best and give buyers a reason to stop scrolling.
A 3-day showing blitz
Instead of showings trickling across weeks, all physical showings are packed into one weekend, Friday through Sunday. That concentration creates urgency.
The Monday offer deadline
Multiple offers come in. You keep every bit of leverage, we negotiate the best terms, and you keep the right to reject or counter any offer. There is never any obligation to sell.
It works in the real world
27 total showings, 9 offers received, and a final sale price well over the seller's goal, all from a single 3-day window.
Your selling options, all in one place
Susan gives every seller every way to sell, all in one place through her SellerAssist offer marketplace. Instead of taking one lonely offer, sellers compare real options side by side: instant cash offers from pre-qualified buyers, investor and retail buyer matching, and live competitive bidding that creates genuine competition. No obligation, no pressure. Susan walks sellers through each option and helps them pick what fits their situation and their timeline.
Instant cash offers
A real offer from a pre-qualified cash buyer, ready to move on your timeline, without waiting on the open market.
Investor and retail buyer matching
Susan connects your home with the right buyers, from investors to everyday retail buyers looking for exactly what you're selling.
Live competitive bidding
Genuine competition between real buyers creates real momentum, so you're never stuck choosing one lonely offer.
Some sellers want a bidding war, some want a fast cash offer. Compare all your options on the Seller Services page.

The playbook, step by step
The system is really three phases working together: a quiet build-up before launch, a loud week of go-live, and a finish engineered to put multiple offers on your table.
Pre-Launch Playbook
(7-10 days before going live)
- List as "Coming Soon" in the MLS, aiming for the Thursday or Friday a week before the home goes active, so it hits two high-traffic cycles.
- Create a "pattern interrupt" video, a teaser built with Google Earth Studio that makes people stop and look.
- Run the first social media blitz: post the video to Nextdoor, Google Business Profile, and Facebook, then share it into local groups.
Launch Week Blitz
(the week of go-live)
- Launch a second social media push early in the week using different media, like a photo collage, so the campaign feels fresh.
- Go live with a lead-gen link on launch day (Thursday) pointing to a high-converting, single-property page built just for the home.
- Conduct proactive agent outreach: use the MLS to reverse prospect, and directly contact agents with matching buyer clients.
The Goal:
Engineer a Bidding War
- Drive all showings to one weekend to create urgency, safety, and a healthy fear of loss among buyers.
- Aim for 15-20 showings to dramatically increase the odds of multiple, high-quality offers.
- Collect and negotiate offers Monday, then present the highest and best options to you, the seller.
