DATA-DRIVEN MARKETING | REAL-TIME ANALYTICS
Each property is unique and deserves a custom-tailored marketing campaign. Advertising is designed to reach the broadest audience possible and drive interested parties to the property profile page, where the buying process begins.
Experience counts, and we have 35 years of out-of-the-box marketing solutions for selling real estate. We harness the power of the Internet to spotlight your property using an array of digital media and marketing, as well as more traditional formats such as print and direct mail.
FRE utilizes a proprietary tracking system, the Media/Prospect Tracking System® (MPTS), which assigns a unique media code to every piece of ad material, providing valuable response metrics.
MPTS tracks the path of a potential buyer through 7 milestones beginning with their initial "click" and ending with "winning bidder." The ability to correlate in real time the ROI of a specific advertisement allows the advertising campaign to be managed based upon actual metrics rather than speculation or guesswork.
TESTIMONIALS
LEADING THE INDUSTRY IN INNOVATION AND EXPERIENCE
Desert Oasis - Laughlin Ranch 3 - Bullhead City, Arizona
The auction campaign delivered a third successful sale for a well know residential developer. Having completed two previously sold-out auction campaigns, the FRE auction marketing team produced another spectacular event with over 12,000 “clicks†to the website and over 220 registered bidders. All 12 homes sold and closed in less than 90 days.
Central Valley Auction - Citrus at Mossdale Landing - Lathrop, California
A major homebuilder in Central California was left with standing inventory of more than fifty single-family homes in three different developments spread across hundreds of miles. Faced with the carrying cost of keeping three fully staffed sales offices open for up to a year, the owner elected to use FRE’s online auction to create a sense of buyer urgency. One hundred fifty bidders from across the country competed online for the homes, placing nearly 500 bids throughout the auction campaign. The flurry of bidding activity pushed the auction into 11 days of “Last Callâ€; FRE's patented feature that automatically extends the bid deadline as bidders continue to compete for the homes. Last Call® bidding continued for 14 days. The homes sold and closed in a start to finish campaign of 90 days, freeing up valuable capital for the seller.
Amelia RiverWalk - Fernandina Beach, Florida
FRE auctioned eight brand new estate homes, including a fully furnished model, in Amelia RiverWalk, a private gated community located in Fernandina Beach, just across the bridge from Amelia Island. All eight homes were successfully sold to Buyers from across the USA and Canada, during an exciting 15-day Last Call©.
Hooray for Hollywood - Holly Townhomes - Los Angeles CA
This was an extremely challenging auction campaign in that while actively conducting the auction, FRE had to step in to assist the builder, the receiver, the bank, and the bank’s legal counsel to get all the liens removed, finish construction, and secure the final Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Los Angeles. From the original launch date (7/09) to the final closing date (4/11), FRE managed to keep the majority of the original Buyers in escrow, resell a few of the units at higher prices through post-auction sales, and also sell the single affordable unit.
Post-Auction Sale-Talking Rock Estates- Prescott, Arizona
The online auction was for select builder inventory at Talking Rock, a 3,400 acre gated, master-planned golf-course community in Prescott, Arizona.

The auction attracted buyers from all over the USA looking to own/build a vacation/permanent home in Arizona.
Hooray for Hollywood Post Auction- Holly Townhomes-Los Angeles, California

Single Family Homes | Bullhead City, Arizona
This extremely successful auction employed a novel and creative advertising campaign that attracted prospective bidders from the US, Canada and throughout the world to these single-family homes in an area where there was already an abundance of homes being offered by other builders. The sale of these properties, which were located near the Colorado River, known for its golf, hiking/biking trails, dining, and Laughlin nightlife, proved that FRE’s online auctions are an excellent marketing method for a seller to achieve the highest possible sales prices while distinguishing his properties from those of his competitors.

Single-family Homes | Redlands and Moreno Valley, California
