Tailored Creative

Impact

Many firms tout VIP services, yet rely solely on the MLS for marketing real estate. We surpass these conventions by utilizing proprietary statistical models with proven results — providing our clients with real estate marketing that allows for an unfair share of attention from the market at large. In our world, everyday buzz equals everyday business — Your success is our success, and we work hard to keep your listing at the head of the conversation by acting small, with focused collaboration, and white glove client service.

Real Estate Delivered

A digital strike team executes complex email marketing campaigns — pushing high-performing creative all day. Amazon Web Services (AWS) SES is a cloud-based email service with the ability to send hundreds of billions of emails annually. This same technology is available on AWS and powers our email campaign delivery — capable of sending 24+ emails per second, per domain.

Products

We bring our experts together in our products to deliver disruptive real estate creativity. In marketing speak, it’s real estate integration with deep specialization. Here’s how we do it.

NONMLS.com®

"NONMLS" is one of the most opportunistic acronyms in today's real estate discussions — it's only fitting this translates into an online platform providing opportunity and value. NONMLS.com® is our data-centric network that transcends traditional marketing approaches, augmenting a property's visibility and inherent worth. NONMLS.com® seamlessly merges with local MLS data, furnishing an array of features such as 360-degree virtual tours, mobile-responsive listings, detailed property descriptions, and real-time performance analytics.

1MEGAWATT - 1MW.com®

Harnessing the symbolism of immense power, we've embarked on a unique marketing and advertising venture called 1 Megawatt, affectionately referred to as "powered real estate marketing." This initiative translates the sheer energy of 1 Megawatt into dynamic strategies designed to elevate your property's presence and drive unparalleled outcomes. There are just 46,656 three-character .com's on the internet, all of which are currently claimed. Many of these coveted domain names are listed on the secondary market, commanding prices in upwards of $250k. Amidst this scarcity, 1MW.com stands out, as the acronym for 1 Megawatt / 1 Million Watts — roughly enough electricity for the instantaneous demand of 750 homes at once. The name isn't just a moniker — it's a commitment to delivering marketing solutions that are as potent and impactful as a million watts.‎

Lumizor.com

"Lumizor (noun): Lumi - luminous, light, bright; Zor - strength, force, power, or wealth." Powerful and bright marketing, affectionately known as 'Lumizor', was launched during a March update. It offers a comprehensive suite of services aimed at enhancing property presentation, syndication, and reach, seamlessly integrating and distributing content to an entirely new set of lifestyle and culture websites, social platforms, and mobile apps. Since its inception, we have measurable results proving its effectiveness as a property views and showings powerhouse. Lumizor will receive API integration in the near future.

Systematic Growth

Proprietary marketing expertly identifies, tracks, and hyper-targets real estate purchasers depending on the stage of their buying journey. If a new buyer is identified, they are added to a perpetually expanding database where they wait in queue to receive property information from a calculated multi-channel marketing sequence.

ABC

Robust intelligence and strategic rigor give our clients confidence that their listing is being handled with care. We leverage a combination of syndicated, proprietary, and primary research to help propel our clients' properties forward. We use data to imagine what’s ahead, and not just analyze what’s worked so far. We have no issue buckling down with collaboration, powerful insights and tested creative, with two phone lines and an auto dialer with laser like focus on “always be closing” A.B.C. driving through the sales funnel utilizing methods and platforms reminiscent of an old manager throwing a phone book in front of you with “start dialing”, then review, iterate and fuel up for a bigger and better campaign.

Builder & Developer Services

As you pursue your next real estate development venture, consider partnering with Minnesota Team for unparalleled marketing expertise. With over two decades of experience, we specialize in crafting strategic marketing solutions tailored to maximize the success of your project.
