Marketing Materials:

American Dream Passport - Homes that are listed exclusively have signs in the front yard. Other agents know the seller is represented and rarely dare to interfere with the seller-agent relationship. The Code of Ethics requires REALTORS®; to determine if a potential buyer-client is represented by another agent. Often it doesn't happen!

The PASSPORT® puts a sign on your buyer. It tells other agents your client is "off limits". It's as close as we can come to putting a sign (protective shield) on your buyers!

Calendars - Great selection!

House Business Cards - business cards that you can give to the sellers to keep in their purse/wallet to hand out to their friends and co-workers.

Domain Plates: I have one on the back of my trunk.  When I was an active agent, I could never bring myself to put all that "stuff" all over my car - magnet signs, decals, all that artwork - just not me.  I don't feel like that with this!  What makes this company unique, and my "Pick" is the "Little Red House" option.  What better way to go if you're a licensee?
