Finding the right buyers' involves marketing activities designed to attract interested people. Generating and nurturing those leads is key to the sales success of your project. So today I am talking marketing off the plan properties with Tim Fleming. Tim is currently working on a couple of publishing platforms that help developers market their stock, and Tim was also involved very early on with realestate.com.au so he has enjoyed a front row seat over the past 10 years as the digital wave crashed over the property market.
