Bay Area Agent Michelle C. Carr-Crowe Awarded for Marketing Excellence
Michelle C. Carr-Crowe of San Jose, Calif.-based Altas Realty, receives award for marketing excellence from Realtor.com.PALO ALTO, CA, April 8, 2009--
Michelle C. Carr-Crowe of San Jose, Calif.-based Altas Realty, was recognized by Realtor.com today for her excellent use of technology in marketing on her clients behalf.
Nationally renowned real estate marketing and technology speaker and Realtor.com Chief Executive Officer Max Pigman personally presented the "Real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence" to Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, leader of the Get RE$ult$ Team at Altas Realty. The Award of Excellence recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing services on behalf of their buyers and sellers.
"There are but a select number of real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other agents by doing more for their sellers - and Michelle C. Carr-Crowe is one of them. In particular, when Michelle lists a home, she markets it on well trafficked sites such as the #1 ranked real estate site Realtor.com, plus high-trafficked Internet sites including Trulia.com, Zillow.com, Yahoo! Real Estate, Homes.com and many others, says Max Pigman. Even simple efforts like having more photos displayed, crafting better property and area descriptions, and promoting neighborhood features can make a home stand out from competing properties."
The award recognized her cutting edge techniques for leveraging the Internet and technology in successfully marketing residential homes and properties throughout Santa Clara County.
As a direct result of her marketing expertise and efforts, Carr-Crowe just sold and closed on a $1.410M property at 16345 Sanborn Road in Saratoga, Calif.
The award was presented to Michelle Carr-Crowe at the trade organization's Survivor 2009 marketing and technology conference at The Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto, Calif. The event was attended by nearly 200 local real estate agents.
"If there's one thing I learned from my mother, top-producing real estate legend Judy Carr, its that as change is constant, we must consistently adapt, adjust and actively use all of the tools available to achieve our clients goalsbecause at the end of the day, the only offer that counts is the one in my hand," says Michelle C. Carr-Crowe. "In our current volatile market, I and my team invest hours every week ensuring our clients homes are seen by as many potential buyers as possible."
Because of our intense focus on technology and using it to give buyers what they want more photos, more details, and more market databuyers then feel comfortable directly contacting us to see these homes and receive complimentary buying power consultations, says Carr-Crowe. Our expansive use of technology visually demonstrates some important truths to todays discerning buyers: by providing extensive data and exceptional experiences before weve even personally met, they see we truly care about whats important to them and have prepared and positioned ourselves to help them on their real estate journey in an environment and style that is convenient and comfortable for them.
Maximizing marketing exposure for a seller is critical in today's market: the combination of Michelle's outstanding marketing system, and Realtor.com are just a few of the many ways Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get RE$ult$ Team are leveraging recent trends in home buyer online behavior to their clients' benefit.
"The extra steps agents like Michelle and her team are taking online on behalf of their clients is the reason we wanted to publicly recognize them for providing these added value services," says Mr. Pigman. She demonstrates the type of quality marketing and experience that REALTORS provide.

Why Buy a Home in Lynbrook, Cupertino, Palo Alto or Saratoga in 2009?
It is a great question, best answered by data and an area real estate expert. In today's market, Buyers always want to know two things: when is the best time to buy, and how to pay the lowest price. When you meet with an experienced real estate consultant like me or one of my skilled team members for a Buying Power Analysis, you learn about the market, market trends, yourself, your priorities, and your options, as well as yourbuying power in today's current market.
Atraditional agent will focus only on your ability to pay a mortgage - how much you make, how much you have for a down payment, what your credit score is, how long you and your spouse have workedin your job/industry, and how much debt you have -- and push you to buy a home now.
In contrast, during our time together, weshare knowledge and data with you, help you learn more about yourself, and show you ALL of your choices--including theoptionNOTto buy a home now. We will show you both the long and short-term trends for the overall Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Saratoga or other specific cities and or school areas you are interested in. We show youall of the home choicesavailable, and what homes are successfully in contract or closed, with all available pricing data. We also ask you some thought-provoking questions to help you learn what truly most important about possibly buying a home to you, and then, and only then,share our professional opinion about which ofyour options best fits within your stated goals--and that option may even be not to buy a home now.
The high-performing schools in Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Palo Alto and Saratoga have helped these areas maintain their value during the market downtown. Yet the overall uncertainties of the economy and job market have now opened a window of opportunity for wise and well-qualified buyers willing to accurately assess themselves, their needs and the market, and move forward with courage while others hesitate.
Reasons to buy a home now include:
1) historically low interest rates lower than last year, and in many cases, at rates near a 46-year low,
2) larger inventories than in the past for these exclusive areas (for example, 32 properties in Lynbrook High as of 2/17/09)
3) a wider range of available property types, from condos and townhomes to duplexes, fourplexes and single-family home
4) a conservative lending environment although this means a longer process with more documentation and paperwork, it translates into loans people truly qualify for-now, and in the future
5) more realistic sellers in terms of price
6) sellers who appreciate Buyers concerns about loan terms, property condition and timing.
7) the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers8) the mortgage interest deduction on owner-occupied property, which in most cases, results in homeowners paying less (after taxes) every month to own rather than rent
8) the mortgage interest deduction, which, for many buyers, results in paying (post-tax) LESSmoney each month to own a home.
Many buyers and investors will get rich buying property this year. It wont necessarily be immediatelythe flipping days are gone for now. However, the strength of an excellent education offered in Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Palo Alto and Saratoga, as well as the traditional benefits of homeownership stability, tax deductions for interest, the first-time homeowner $8,000 credit, and community remain compelling reasons for people to buy a home now.
