Buyer and Seller

How it works!

For the Seller: The objective for the sellers is to capture the attention of the largest pool of buyer prospects possible, at any given time, and then to maintain that exposure.

To do this I focus on making sure that every person in my extensive horse related data base knows your property is for sale.  All of these “horse folks” know other horse people and so on.  I constantly market myself and my properties to this large network.  By marketing myself, I have trained my horse network to think, “Call Deitra” when they want to sell or buy or when a friend says to them, “Who should I contact?”  I market myself, my company and my extensive expertise in my real estate specialties and my horse expertise. 

I also market to members of The Texas Hunter Jumper Association, other horse associations around Houston and Texas members of the United States Equestrian Federation.  Horse people are my peers and associates and I find “the horse” to be a common denominator in my buyers of equestrian estates and horse farms.  I also maintain private direct mail lists using these as direct marketing opportunities. These lists of potential clients exponentially increase my exposure to buyers and sellers because these people all know others who may now or in the future need to buy or sell property.

 I have intentionally developed a very extensive network of brokers to whom I routinely market. I have cultivated much of that network by my involvement as President of the Colorado REALTORS® Land Institute while I resided in Colorado .  I belong to other REALTOR® associations that include Texas Association of REALTORS®, Houston Association of REALTORS®, Texas Alliance of Land Brokers and the New Mexico REALTORS Association. I directly market to 3,000 Top Producing REALTORS® when appropriate.

It’s a fact: Buyers call brokers to find and purchase properties. So, by promoting your property DIRECTLY to my huge broker network I effectively notify all their customers and compound the exposure of your property.

I attend the marketing session of the Texas Chapter of the REALTORS Land Institute and the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers and market my ranch listings and buyer needs to this large network.  Texas brokers may prefer to operate within their own “backyard”, but I will, nonetheless, “drip” on them with my listings and buyer needs.  Again, buyers call brokers/agents to find properties.

My buyer systems also benefit my Sellers: My horse associates and friends know that I am knowledgeable about horse properties and what horse people need and want.  I enjoy being known in my real estate sphere for my ability to serve buyers, because of my knowledge of the market and my network. This is good for my Sellers. [To this end, I advertise for buyers nationally and regionally. I also maintain a high profile nationally in several Realtor organizations, out of which I receive many qualified referrals of buyer prospects from which I choose my clients. These are a few of the advantages of my affiliation with the Realtors Land Institute.] 

I diligently assemble a private database of ranches in Texas .  I become a tremendous resource for you when helping you to arrive at a real sales price, and marketing posture.  In addition, with my background as a Certified General Appraiser specializing in the appraisal of ranch and land properties while in Colorado , I am even more proficient in my service as a ranch and land broker. That’s quite an edge.
