In this new landscape of real estate, it is more important than ever to start with the right Realtor®. Land and home sellers cannot afford a lack of marketing ability, minimal internet savvy, weak negotiation skills or minimal resources to market and advertise properties. Everyone agrees the internet is an inexpensive way to market real estate today because 9 out of 10 buyers are beginning their search online. However, it is important to be able to drive future buyers to the right Realtor® - the one selling your home. Why? Not all homes on the market are not sold.

Sometimes doing things now out-of-fashion like mailing a postcard can make a difference. Especially, if the postcard goes beyond being another "just listed" or "just sold" script direct mail piece. Remember when postcards used to be picture postcards and worth a thousand words before they became "direct" mail. Today, people are more and more enviromentally conscious and if they are going to get mail, it is better be memorable over junk.

This is why I started a campaign to talk about the community I love and love to sell. This postcard is more than a postcard. It is designed to brand a message repeated in ongoing print magazine advertising. Each month, the front image will change and the message on the back varies focusing on how, what, when, where and why.

For every seller today, it is critical that their home not be missing from the internet and the stream of conversation in social networking. The bottom line is to get one-to-one attention with a message that stands out from the crowd and is delivered the old-fashioned way... by a stamp!

Santa Fe real estate is never one-size-fits-all — it’s a collection of neighborhoods, stories, and opportunities, each with its own rhythm. Whether you’re drawn to a classic adobe in South Capitol, a mountain-view retreat in Eldorado, or a modern condo near the Plaza, every decision here is personal. That’s why I take a data-driven and human approach to every transaction — helping you see beyond the headlines to discover the right fit for your lifestyle, goals, and next chapter.

After more than two decades in Santa Fe, I’ve learned this market isn’t just about property values — it’s about timing, strategy, and perspective. My role is to help you understand what’s happening right now, what’s likely next, and how to position yourself for success in any market.

Whether you’re thinking about selling and want to see a SOLD sign on your property, exploring your first home in Santa Fe, or simply curious about how today’s trends affect your next move, I’ll help you out-think the uncertainty with clear data, creative strategy, and genuine local insight.

You can explore real-time MLS listings, view interactive maps, and read my latest market blogs anytime at emilymedvec.com. When you’re ready — whether that’s now or down the road — let’s talk about your goals and create a plan that fits you.

Em....direct mail marketing will never be "out of fashion" when it comes to prospecting for new business.....I mail thousands of them every month.....they work....there's a new theme every month.....those postcards direct new inventory to us....I love them.

I think so old fashioned methods will always have a place!  I love combining it with a message about the community.

Barb, I agree. Advertising with a message is never out of style. You and your team are my models for a postcard machine!

Kathy, my focus was to make the card a keeper and motivate potential sellers to call for a consultation. So far, it is working in lots of unexpected ways.

Navona, thank you! This postcard "campaign" is a new direction for me this year and yes, the message is key.

Good for you Emily. I know it's not paperless, but it is effective.

Emily ~ It's certainly a beautiful post card.  And stamps are still a pretty inexpensive way to communicate :)
