Jen's Marketing Plan:

·       Jen Hughes is dedicated to selling Bayside and Beartrap homes.

·       Jen & teammate Anne are at Bayside 6 days a week, always available to show your home to prospective buyers at a moment’s notice.

·       Having an office at Bayside and Beartrap gives us more exposure to walk-in customers.

·       Virtual Tours are posted online.

·       When we host an Open House your home is featured at the front desk of the Seacoast Bayside Sales Center with driving directions.

·       Jen has extensive experience in the mortgage industry which enables her to pre-qualify and assist Buyers with various financing options. 

·       Your home will be listed on www.Realtor.com

·       Your home will be listed on www.seacoastde.com

·       Your home will be featured on www.easternshorepropertyguide.com
