Welcome,
I realize that you have a choice when hiring an agent to help you sell
your house and truly appreciate the opportunity to present my proven
approach and the results I’ve achieved for my clients. As your agent,
there are several services you can expect me to provide, including:
u Accurately pricing your house
u Enhancing the perceived – and real –value of your house, enabling
you to command a higher asking price
u Providing unmatched marketing including photography, video,
social media and over 400 property web sites
u Securing a qualified buyer within your specific time frame
u Helping you avoid the two main reasons sales fall apart…
• Low lender’s appraisals
• Problems with the house inspection
Regardless of the price of your house, when you hire me as your Realtor,
both and will be prepared for a successful sale.
Warmest Regards,
Yvonne

Testimonials
I was relocating from Virginia and found my agent on
the internet. The agent that I was using was a bad
choice on my part. But I am glad that Yvonne was the
other agent. She was wonderful, I called her often and
she was always willing and happy to answer all of my
questions. She made my experience change for a bad
one to a pleasant one. I am so glad that I purchased a
house that she had listed. Thank you Yvonne you are
my agent for life.
Tandra Rowland
Yvonne is a wonderful Agent. She is very
knowledge of the housing market and
finding exactly what you want. When I'm
ready to but another house I will call her.
Cathy Talley
“Yvonne was never in a hurry and got us the price we
were asking for our house. She was always very
professional and polite”
Thanks Yvonne
Kevin Dawkins
First impressions mean a lot, especially when it
involves going into your pockets. My husband and I
found Yvonne to be very professional, friendly and
easy to work with. Whenever there were problems
with the mortgage company moving in a timely
manner to complete the process of purchasing our
home; Yvonne Motley was on top of things calling,
emailing and doing whatever it took to get us to
closing. She made sure that she kept us well informed.
We truly appreciates all that she did and we are
enjoying our beautiful home. Thanks Yvonne may
you continue to be blessed and bless others.

We moved from CT to GA and we were
scared moving to a new state but Yvonne
was so reassuring and helpful. Our
experience was great because she was so
personable, knowledgeable and patient. The
next house I purchase will be thru Yvonne
Motley.
Dameon Bright
I wanted to move back to Louisiana to be closer to my
mother and needed to sell my home quickly. I was
very impressed with Yvonne when she came to view
my home. She had pictures and info on other homes
that had sold in my neighborhood and helped me to
come up with the best price to list my home at. I was
under contract and packing faster than I thought I
would have been. I really enjoyed working with
Yvonne and would recommend and use her again.

How Houses Sell
UNDERSTANDING HOW BUYERS EVALUATE HOUSES
The marketing I will do to promote your house has only one purpose,
to increase awareness among potential buyers leading to in-person showings.
Once buyers reach your front door, the job of marketing is over.
Your house must now compete with other houses in two areas;
Features and Price.
If your house has more features that appeal to buyers – or your house is priced lower
Than comparable houses – your house will stand out as the better value.
Conversely, if your house lacks the features that potential buyers desire, your only option
is to compete on price.
To be effective, your house should stand out as one of the top two to three best values in your
immediate market place

Factors that Influence Market Value
ü Supply and Demand
ü Economic Conditions
ü Asking and Selling Prices of Competing Homes
ü Your Homes Condition
ü Buyers Perception of Your Home
PRICING YOUR HOUSE FOR A SUCCESFUL SALE
Factors with Little or No Influence on
Market Value
ü The Price the Seller Paid for the House
ü The Seller’s Expected Net Proceeds
ü The Amount Spent on Improvements
Pricing your house accurately is the most effective way to ensure a successful sale.
Allow me to repeat that – Pricing your house accurately is the most effective way to
ensure a successful sale.
No amount of marketing can sell an overpriced house.
Many sellers are tempted to list their house with the agent who quotes the highest price.
Please keep in mind, the agent, doesn’t set the price, the seller doesn’t set the price –
the market will set the price, or value for your house.

PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL
The most effective method of pricing your house is to have a professional appraisal. When you list –
and close – your house with me, I’ll pay for a pre-listing appraisal by one of Atlanta’s most respected
appraisal firms.
Benefits of having a professional appraisal:
u You receive an unbiased third party opinion of the market value of your house by a trained
professional.
u You are positioned to quickly recognize and respond to a market offer.
u You are positioned to effectively challenge a low lender’s appraisal of your house, maintaining your
higher contract price. A lender will consider a well-known appraisers valuation – they will not
consider an estimate provided by a real estate agent.
u You avoid the common practice of a real estate agent “buying your listing” by suggesting a higher
price than can be achieved. Because the agent would then be reluctant to suggest a price reduction
early in the marketing process, you lose valuable time during those critical first several weeks on
the market.
11. The Rawls GroupThe
Rawls

Condition
PREPARING YOUR HOUSE FOR A SUCCESSFUL SALE
With the typical agent, you only discover potential deal-killing repairs after you are already under
contract – when the buyer hires a house inspector to scrutinize every aspect of your house.
When you list – and close – your house with me, I’ll pay for a pre-listing inspection by one of Atlanta’s
most experienced and respected, inspection firms.
Discovering and repairing problems early in the marketing process places you in control, eliminating
the stress of making repairs on the buyer’s schedule. Having your house in move-in condition also
helps you avoid delays to closing and demonstrates to buyers, agents and the buyer’s house inspector
that your house has been very well maintained. We want buyers to focus on how they live in your house
– not what they would have to repair.
Additionally, your house will stand out from the competition as a better value and command a higher
price.
I will also recommend trustworthy, professional contractors to address any repairs that are needed.
The extent that these repairs are made will directly affect your listing price. You have the ability to
command a higher asking price and substantiate it, when your home is in top condition.
12. The Rawls GroupThe
Rawls

HOME STAGING
Once we have had your home inspected and made the
necessary repairs (if any) we will focus on presentation.
You will only get one opportunity to make a positive first
impression with a potential buyer. Recognize and accept
your HOME has become a HOUSE. It is now a PRODUCT
FOR SALE and: It must COMPETE in the marketplace
for a buyer. It must APPEAL to the largest number of
buyers. It must be prepared and showcased to
OUTSHINE your competition and excite Buyers.
Staging Matters
Eliminating excess clutter and furniture makes rooms
appear larger, more inviting. Staging is positioning the
house to appeal to the psychological needs of buyers by
creating a series of impressions that build an emotional
connection to help buyers imagine living in the house.
13. The Rawls GroupThe

HOUSE WARRANTY
Condition
A house warranty is a one year residential service contract
that provides repair or replacement coverage for the major
operating systems and appliance in a house that fail due to
normal wear and tear. This can be a big selling item to
buyers knowing that their new house will be covered.
When you list –and close – your house with me, I will pay
for an Old Republic Home Protection Company warranty
for your buyer.
By advertising a comprehensive warranty for your house,
we increase buyer confidence in your house and set you
apart from the competition.

MARKETING YOUR HOUSE FOR
A SUCCESSFUL SALE
Your house is now priced accurately and looks great.
Let’s show it off!
The marketing of your house will reflect an established
history of how buyers search for and purchase houses.
u 95% of buyers use the internet during their house search.
u 85% of all house sales in Metro Atlanta are co-brokered.
This means there is a listing agent who represents you,
the seller, and another agent who represents the buyer of
your house. As a result, marketing to Realtors is our most
productive activity.
u The most effective way to get the attention of productive
agents and buyers is through accurate pricing and great
photography.
15. The Rawls GroupThe

QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Marketing
After your house is staged, I will have your house
photographed to show off its beauty.
With 95% of buyers using the internet to search for
houses, quality photography is essential to any
comprehensive marketing plan.
More people will view your house online than will ever
visit it personally. Getting, and holding, their attention
online with quality photography is one way to increase
the probability of an in-person showing.
“Buyers perceive homes with good photography to be
worth, on average, 12% more than the actual price.”

INTERACTIVE MOBILE MARKETING
I will create a custom mobile website for your house that

for paper flyers.
There are numerous advantages for you:
§ Potential buyers are able to immediately access a
detailed description of your house, along with beautiful
photos and video. We can also make useful documents
available such as your Seller’s Disclosure, Inspection
Report and more.
§ Unlike paper flyers, I receive an immediate notification
with potential buyer’s cell phone number, allowing me
to follow up while the prospective buyer is still in your
neighborhood. With a paper flyer you have to wait until
they call us – if they ever do.
§ This technology is the flyer box that is never empty.
Nothing is more frustrating to potential buyers- and-
sellers than an empty flyer box.
