 (EMAILWIRE.COM, December 21, 2011 ) West Chester, Pa. – There’s little doubt that Top Chester County, PA realtor Don Dowd is one of the heavy hitters in the Chester and Delaware County real estate markets. Being in the top 5 out of over 3200 area RE/MAX agents for the past two years is no small feat, especially considering that he focuses primarily on representing sellers in what is considered one of the biggest “buyers” markets in decades.
His contrarian nature combined with an arsenal of cutting edge marketing techniques that most other realtors donÂ’t go near is what sets him apart from most most of the other real estate agents in the region. Some of DowdÂ’s marketing strategies have already become legendary. They include:
• Luxury Homes & Estates Magazine Listings (front and back cover)
• Distinctive Homes Magazine Listings
• Chester County Life Magazine Listings
• Home Décor & Ideas Magazine Listings
• The Real Estate Book Listings
• Internet & Email Blasts
• YouTube Video Blasts
• Broker’s Only Cocktail Party-style Open Houses
Dowd also has a few “secret weapons” that he’d rather not reveal publicly, that give him a big edge over the competition.
With the holidays approaching and most realtors taking time off, Real Estate Agent West Chester PA Don Dowd takes a different approach. True to his contrarian mindset, Dowd is still working as hard as ever to sell homes, even with Christmas and New YearÂ’s right around the corner. And he has some advice for home sellers; donÂ’t take your home off the market during the holidays!
“When you follow the masses, you usually end up being left behind,” Dowd says. “While everybody else is pulling their house off the market during the holidays, smart sellers are capitalizing on the reduction in home inventory.”
Dowd says that contrary to popular belief, just because we are coming up on the biggest holidays of the year does not mean homes are not selling.
“People say to me all the time ‘Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up Don, shouldn’t I pull my house off the market and bring it back on after the Super Bowl?’ My response is why would you want to do what everybody else is doing?” Dowd continues. “The fact is there are still buyers out there. Companies still need to relocate people, even during the holidays. So there’s still people looking for homes, there’s just fewer of them, but along with that there are far fewer houses on the market for the prospective buyers to choose from. This makes the holiday season arguably one of the best times of the year to have your house up for sale.”
DowdÂ’s hard work during this traditionally slow time of year seems to be paying off. He says heÂ’s been able to move several of his listings during the past couple winters.
“These past 2 years alone, in supposedly the worst real estate market in recent memory, I’ve had an increasing amount of closings in January and February from homes that were on the market and sold during the holiday months. Had my clients taken these homes off the market like most other people do, they may have missed out on their chance to get their houses sold and move on with their lives.”
While most other real estate agents are taking it easy for the holidays, DowdÂ’s marketing campaigns remain in full gear and he expects his sales numbers for the 2011-2012 winter months to meet or surpass those of previous years.
