Coastal Life’s Purpose

largest real estate company, but it is our desire to
be the best real estate company in the area.

Professional Photography

Buyers consistently rate property photos


as one of the most important factors in
determining which properties they choose
to look at. Numerous studies have shown
that the quality of a listing’s photos will have
a considerable impact on the number of
showings, time on market and quality of offers.

All Coastal Life Realty Group agents receive


professional photography for their listings.
Coastal Life staff can assist in scheduling the
photographer and preparing the property for
the photo session.

The professional photos will then be utilized


throughout the entire marketing campaign for
the property. A link to the photo file is placed
in the marketing section of Coastal Life’s
Transaction Management tool. This makes it
convenient for the agent to access the photos
for any marketing they may want to do on
their own.

3-D Virtual Tours

Over 90% of Buyers initiate their real estate


search online. There is more competition in

Buyers to tour your listing at any time, from
any device and interact with it much as if
they were physically walking through it.

From the Matterport tours we also make


walk-through videos and digital floor plans
for the listing. All of these tools are then
utilized throughout the entire marketing
campaign for your listing.

Matterport 3-D tours will separate your


listings from the competition and make
them and your marketing plan stand out.

useful real estate market reports:

Custom Website Reports


Coastal Life websites provide the ability to
prepare custom market reports based on virtually
any criteria available in the MLS. Create reports
based on property type, size, location, amenities
and more. The report then tracks active, pending
and sold listings based on this criteria and is
emailed automatically on a predetermined
schedule.

Bi-Monthly Ocean City Report


Our Ocean City Real Estate Report tracks all key
market statistics with listing data pulled directly
from Bright MLS. The detailed report is prepared
by Coastal Life Management bi-monthly and
emailed out on our agent’s behalf to a database
of their choosing.

Coastal Life Realty Group Office: 443-552-7579 info@coastallifeoc.com CoastalLifeOC.com


Social Media Marketing

Love it or hate it, social media has proven to be an effective


marketing platform. It tends to be a longer term play and as
such, often gets overlooked by real estate agents. To help
with this Coastal Life Realty Group assists our agents with
their social media marketing:

New listings are posted on both company


and agent profiles
Recent sales are posted on both company
and agent profiles
Recent sales are also posted to company
websites, Zillow and other sites
Coastal Life can assist with soliciting agent
reviews after the sale is complete
Coastal Life’s social media also features local
information and real estate content

Facebook Ad Tool
Through our website providers we have the ability to do
advanced Facebook marketing that enables us to re-target
the large volume of website traffic we generate. New listings
can be leveraged to generate leads through Facebook that
are automatically set-up in the agent’s account with new
listing updates and a drip campaign running.

been a passion for Coastal Life Realty Group.
