The Marketing Realtor For New Jersey Sellers

The first two weeks on the market set the price, so everything has to be ready on day one. You see my plan before you sign: the price, the prep, the photos, video and drone, and every way buyers will hear about your home.

About Dennis Mark

Dennis Mark Interdonato is a REALTOR® who leads The Dennis Mark Group at Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living in Point Pleasant, NJ, helping sellers and buyers throughout New Jersey, with Monmouth and Ocean County as home base. His listings start with marketing: before the listing appointment, sellers get his pre-listing emails and a market evaluation built by his team. Once a home is listed, his marketing lead runs the social media, articles and campaigns, a professional photo and video company handles the shoot, and his transaction coordinator keeps the contract, documents and dates on track through closing. A former New Jersey home builder and residential remodeler, he also tells sellers which repairs and updates are worth making before the photographer arrives.

Home Marketing

The First Two Weeks Set The Price

A home gets the most attention in its first two weeks on the market. That's when the buyers who have been waiting see it and decide whether it's worth a visit. Miss them with weak photos or the wrong price, and the home can sit while newer listings take the attention.

Marketing, to me, is more than photos and a sign. It starts with a plan built for your home, priced for where the market is heading rather than where it is today, and ready on the first day with the pieces that fit your home: the prep, the photos and video, drone where it fits, a Coming Soon campaign, ads and open houses. Read more about why the first two weeks matter.

In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, 14 of my 17 listings sold over asking, and the sellers of all 17 got $473,429 over list price combined (Flexmls). Every home and every market is different, and past sales don't predict what any one home will sell for.

Before You Sign

You See The Plan Before We Meet

Before the listing appointment, you get three emails from my team. By the time we sit down, you've seen how I work, and I've already studied your home.

  • The first email is about me: my website, my YouTube, articles about me and articles I've written, plus links to property websites and brand videos my team has made for other listings
  • The second is an intake form, so you can tell me what matters most to you before I walk in the door
  • The third is your market evaluation, a slide deck my team builds with AI: the market, your home, your neighborhood, the competition, recent sales and what buyers are looking for right now
  • It prices your home four ways, by condition: in rough shape, clean but not updated, partly updated and fully updated
  • Three reports come with it: a real estate trends report, a report on where buyers are coming from and a strategic marketing plan
  • Then I walk the house and leave written notes on what to fix, finish or put away before the photographer comes

Pricing Strategy

Priced To Be Seen First

Buyers shop by price. When several similar homes sit in the same range, the one that looks like the best value gets the showings first, and I want that to be yours. In my words: “We do not want to be the fourth house out of five houses that all look the same or are all similar and are all listed around the same price point.”

  • I price for the market we're about to sell in, using what's selling now, what's for sale now and which way prices are moving
  • Your market evaluation compares your home with the listings it will compete with, not only with past sales
  • I'll usually push for a price that's competitive with the similar homes on the market, so yours is the one buyers see first
  • More buyers in the first weeks means more competition, and competition is what moves a price up
  • The marketing has to match the price: the photos, video and launch are what turn a good price into showings
  • Every home and every market is different. The list price is always your decision

A Howell Listing

Listed At $799,000. Sold For $830,000

When I sat down with the sellers of a Howell home, I laid out the whole marketing plan at our first meeting. I told them what to clean, repair, paint over and spruce up, and they did all of it. I walked the house with them, pointed out what a home inspection was likely to flag, and we took care of those items before the inspectors came. I coordinated the town's inspections, too.

Shoot day took about five hours: a professional photo and video company, my own team filming on top of that, and the drone. Then the home went live with the full plan behind it. It was listed at $799,000 and sold for $830,000 (sale price: Flexmls). Here's how the seller put it:

"I had the pleasure of having Dennis Mark sell my home in 5 days. I knew right from the beginning I hired the perfect person to get the job done! He laid out an easy to follow plan of what we needed to do on our end and he literally took care of everything else. He was always available and prompt with texts, phone calls, and showing up exactly when he said he would. His marketing of my home was beyond anything that I expected!! I was literally the only one that had video in addition to the photos which were all amazing!! I had 2x the amount of views and saves. It was on all social media platforms. During our open houses he was texting us all day to let us know how it was going. I ended up receiving 6 amazing offers over asking. ..."

Audra G., Google review

It's more than the numbers. You pay for someone who thinks of everything for you.

Your Team

The Team Behind Your Listing

I build the plan, and two people run it with me. My marketing lead runs the whole marketing program: the social media, the blog articles, the carousels and a lot of the planning behind the scenes. My transaction coordinator runs operations: the pre-listing emails and intake forms, the contract and compliance documents, the important dates, and my inbox when I'm out of the office, so I can respond right away.

Once you're under contract, my seller concierge emails go out ahead of every step: what's done, what's coming next and what to expect. They come in our own colors and photos, so you know where things stand between our calls.

A Builder's Eye

Know What To Fix Before You List

A Beachwood couple came to me through a past client. As it stood, I thought their home would sell for somewhere around $340,000 to $350,000. So I gave them two options: sell it as it was, or put some money in first.

We walked the house together and I made notes: matching laminate flooring throughout, except the bathroom; the whole house painted white, the oak cabinets too, with brushed nickel hardware; and the old Formica counter replaced with granite, a new stainless steel sink and a farmhouse-style faucet. I picked everything out and helped them declutter and stage. They paid for it and did the work, about $15,000 in all by my estimate.

We listed at $360,000 with the full campaign: photos, video, drone, a video walkthrough and a branding video. An offer of $405,000 came in on the first day, and the home sold for $405,000 (sale price: Flexmls). Here's how the seller put it:

"... From day one he was attentive, caring, and held our hand through the entire selling process. Told us exactly what to update, exactly what to list at, told us what buyers like and don't like, etc. We took all of his advice and our house sold the first day on the market for well over asking price. ..."

Harry P., Google review

An update that pays off in one house may not in another. That's why I walk the house before I recommend a dollar of work.

Step One The Pre-Listing Emails

Three emails before we meet: who I am and how I market homes, an intake form about what matters most to you, and your market evaluation.

Compare The Service, Not The Fee

A lower fee can look like the better deal until you line up what each plan includes. Before you choose anyone, me included, ask every agent for the marketing plan in writing and compare it item by item.

The way I put it: “I can do everything a discount realtor can do. But a discount realtor can’t do any of the stuff that I do.” Think about the negotiation, too. Who do you want negotiating the sale of your biggest asset?

Home Marketing Questions

What sellers ask me first, and what people search for most.

Who is the best marketing realtor in New Jersey?

Judge any agent by the plan and the results, in writing, before you sign. My plan starts before we meet, with the pre-listing emails and a market evaluation. On the market, every listing gets professional photos, and the plan can include video, drone, a 3D walkthrough, Coming Soon and social media campaigns, targeted ads, the home's own website, open houses and milestone emails through closing. In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, 14 of my 17 listings sold over asking (Flexmls).

What marketing should a listing agent do to sell my house?

At a minimum, ask for professional photos and video, a launch plan for the first two weeks, social media and email to buyers, open houses, and a pricing analysis you can read before you sign. Then ask to see all of it in writing.

Why does the price matter so much to the marketing?

Buyers search by price, so the price decides which buyers see your home and what they compare it with. I price for the market we're about to sell in and against the homes yours will compete with, so it's the one buyers see first. The price is always your decision. More on the first two weeks.

What is a market evaluation?

My written analysis of what your home should list for: the current market, your home and neighborhood, recent sales, the competition and what buyers are looking for right now, with a price for each condition the home could be in. It comes with a real estate trends report, a report on where buyers are coming from and a strategic marketing plan. Start with your home's value.

Do you use drone photography?

Yes, where the home and the lot call for it. Drone stills and video show the lot, the street, the water or what's nearby in a way ground photos can't, and professionals fly them.

Do I need to stage my home?

Not always. My prep notes come first: what to declutter, fix, paint or put away. Staging can be virtual, professional or both, depending on the home. Decluttering comes first.

What is a Coming Soon campaign?

Marketing that starts before showings begin, so interested buyers are watching for the home when it opens. It runs within the local MLS's rules for Coming Soon listings, and I'll explain how those work for your home.

What is a twilight open house?

An open house in the early evening, when buyers who work during the day can come, and the home is shown with its lights on.

What is a neighborhood VIP hour?

The first hour of the Saturday open house, set aside for the neighbors, who get an invitation in the mail ahead of time. They get a first look before the open house opens to everyone.

Will my home have its own website?

It can. An exclusive property website with its own address is part of what my plan can include, alongside the MLS listing that goes out to home search sites nationwide.

What are Zillow Showcase and Homes.com?

Two of the places buyers search. Zillow Showcase is Zillow's premium listing, and I'm a Zillow Premier Agent. I'm also a Homes.com member agent. See Zillow Showcase and Homes.com for what each adds to a listing.

Where do your social media ads run?

On Facebook and Instagram, aimed at the areas buyers are most likely coming from, based on my team's research. The ads describe the home, never who should live in it.

How will I know what's happening after my home is listed?

You'll hear how the showings and open houses went, and once you're under contract, my team's milestone emails reach you ahead of each step: what's done, what's coming next and what to expect.

Who does the work behind the marketing?

I build the plan. My marketing lead runs the social media, the content and the campaigns, and my transaction coordinator runs the emails, the paperwork and the dates. A professional photo and video company handles the shoot, with my own team filming too.

Is a full-service listing agent worth it?

Compare what's included, not only the fee: the pricing work, the prep advice, the marketing, the negotiation and the communication through closing. This side-by-side comparison lines up a full plan, a typical agent and a discount model, with the questions to ask anyone you interview.

Do you market homes outside Monmouth and Ocean County?

Yes. I sell homes throughout New Jersey, with Monmouth and Ocean County as home base.

This page describes the marketing The Dennis Mark Group can run on a listing. Each plan is built for the home, so not every listing uses every item. The 14-of-17 and $473,429 figures come from Flexmls (MLS) records of Dennis Mark Interdonato's listings for the 12 months to September 30, 2026; the two stories' sale prices come from Flexmls and their list prices from his listing records. Every home and every market is different, and past sales don't predict what any one home will sell for. Zillow Showcase and Homes.com are services of their own companies.
