What You Do & Don’t Control Seller Controls: • Property Condition • Availability for Showing • Price • Service Contract and Pre-Inspection Seller Doesn’t Control: • Competition • Buyer’s or Seller’s Market • Interest Rates • When the Right Buyer Appears

Home Service Contracts Home service contracts go a long way to alleviate some risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can provide to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating, plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns. Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all cases, there are important limitations and exclusions (example: appliances/systems must be operative at commencement of coverage).

Selling Price Vs. Timing A C T I V I T Y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 WEEKS ON MARKET • Timing is extremely important in the real estate market. • A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed. • It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market.

Preparing For The Offer In slow economic times, offers to purchase routinely come in “low” whereas in healthy economic times, offers are closer to the asking price. Do not be offended by any offer received. Be offended by buyers who tour your property and don’t submit an offer. • ACCEPTANCE. Signed by all parties, dated, delivered… congratulations, you’re on your way to having your property sold! • REJECTION. Unconditional… unfortunately, your home is still on the market. • COUNTER OFFER. Any change to the contract constitutes a counter offer. You are now in the renegotiation stage. • NO ACTION. Equals rejection. Your home is still on the market.

Inspections Inspections and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close. Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and structural inspections.

Pricing Factors IMPORTANCE OF INTELLIGENT PRICING +15% 10% ASKING +10% 30% PERCENTAGE PRICE OF BUYERS Market Value 60% -10% 75% -15% 90% As the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value. If you price your property at market value, you are exposing it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your opportunity for a sale.

Pricing Misconceptions It is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the signing of the listing agreement. Historically, your first offer is usually your best offer. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT COST YOUR ANOTHER YOU YOU YOU TO REBUILD NEIGHBOR AGENT PAID NEED WANT TODAY SAYS SAYS Buyers & Sellers Determine Value The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and a SELLER is willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other property SOLD in your area.
