It isn’t just about MLS and the local newspaper anymore.

Make no mistake about it. The Brunswick County Association of REALTORS operates a state-of-the-art Multiple  Listing Service and The State Port Pilot, our outstanding community newspaper, has won numerous awards for quality real estate advertising. Atlantic Realty Professionals makes use of these fine marketing tools and gets big results from them.

But, marketing real estate in this day and time requires much, much more. Whether you are selling a primary residence, a second home, income-producing property or even a commercial building, Atlantic Realty Professionals uses a comprehensive mix of high-tech and traditional marketing techniques to expose your property to the greatest number of potential buyers possible.

We’re connected...

Our technology agreements allow us to market your property to literally millions of potential buyers through outlets like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, REALTOR.com. and more. Our Atlantic Realty Professionals website gives buyers direct access to our listings and offers direct contact with our agents. Potential buyers can tap these resources at their convenience, at any time, and from anywhere in the world. Industry statistics show that as many as 84 percent of all real estate buyers use the internet as a resource.

Atlantic Realty Professionals bolsters this extensive cyber marketing effort with a combination of print and electronic approaches to local buyers and those who have a demonstrated interest in this real estate market. We reach these potential buyers through weekly mass mailings and e-mail blasts to our extensive company database, as well as through our MLS and local newspaper advertising. Additionally, we cultivate telephone and walk-in contact with our office through billboard advertising on NC 133 and NC 87, the two major traffic arteries servicing our section of Brunswick County. Every time Atlantic Realty Professionals lists a new property, a postcard is immediately sent notifying area property owners of that newly available property. Neighboring property owners often have friends and relatives who want to relocate near them. These contacts often result in sales.

Supporting our outreach to local owners and those who may find us on the Internet, Atlantic Realty Professionals markets its listings regionally and nationally through stylish publications like Home Viewer magazine and The Real Estate Book, as well as publications of the Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce and our own Bald Head Island publication, The Island Egret. Throughout the year Atlantic Realty Professionals purchases advertisements in hundreds of publications circulated in the Carolinas via a network of community newspapers. At various times you’ll read about Atlantic Realty Professionals’ listings in Our State magazine, The Wall Street Journal and other state, regional and national publications.
