points.

F.A.Q’s 
Q: How long is the Exclusive Agreement for? 
A: Typical agreement lasts for 6 months. You can discuss a shorter term with our local agent 
and if your home is priced right, it is possible to sign for a shorter period. 
Q: How long does is take to sell a home? 
A: This all depends on the pricing and the location, as well as how your home shows. Pages 8, 
9 and 10 of this pamphlet lays out suggstions preparing your home to sell quickly. 
Q: Why just 2% and not the 6% that other agents charge? 
A: Most agents work alone and do not have an entire support team to assist them. Our agents 
list and sell 5-10 homes per week. They earn on volume, and we back them with office, phone, 
and marketing support. We like to say, why 6% and not just pay 2%? 
Q: What about paying a flat fee to list on the MLS? 
A: You can list on your own, but studies have shown that having a professional agent 
representing you as a Seller’s Agent results in sales prices that are 10% higher and an agent can 
hold a deal together by being the liason between buyer and seller. It takes on average 2-3 
months for a home to close. Our closing coordinator will make sure you reach the finish line 
successfully. Getting an accepted offer is just the tip of the iceberg in a real estate transaction. 
Q: What if I decide to take my home off the market and not sell at all? 
A: We have a Cancellation policy and will remove your home off the market within 2 days if you 
are not interested in selling. We will then provide a list of buyers that we have introduced to 
your home which protects us in the event that you do sell your home to one of the buyers we 
found. 
Q: Is it better to price high or low? 
A: It’s best to price reasonable from the start. You only have 1 time to make a great first 
impression. At any given time there is a pool of serious buyers. These are the buyers that are 
ready to submit offers and know the market well. By pricing right from the start you will have 
the most interest and the best activity to sell your home at a high price. Staying on the market 
for too long may result in a “stale” listing. This can only be invigorated by a price reduction 
which may also signal a desparate selling situation. 
Q: What’s the next step? 
A: Call us at 18882301578 to set up a time to meet with one of our top local agents in your 
area. They will explain the entire process of selling, assist in pricing, and provide you all the 
necessary documents to get your home listed for sale.

We are so confident that our real estate system will work for you, that we 
guarantee you the right to cancel our listing agreement at any time prior to 
accepting an offer to purchase your home, with no penalties or obligations, 
if you feel our service doesn’t live up to our promise. 
Entering into a listing agreement with a real estate agent can be a risky business. 
Every sales representative will promise the world when it comes to effectively 
marketing your home, but how many of them can back that up with solid 
performance? 
According to a recent survey, 72% of home sellers were dissatisfied with the 
performance of their agent, even if that agent had sold their property. However, 
most listing agreements lock you into long-term commitments and lengthy broker 
protection periods with heavy cancellation fees. In other words, it’s an 
agreement your agent can get out of, but you can’t. 
We are offering you a way to list your home that is totally risk free. 
Success in real estate is selling houses fast and for top dollar. We are confident 
that we can do this for you because our team has already helped hundreds of 
other families just like you to get their home sold. 
Our pledge is to provide you with the highest level of service in the Real Estate 
industry, and our commitment to this pledge is 100%. Your right is to evaluate 
whether we live up to this standard, and to cancel your listing agreement with us 
at any point, with no penalties or obligations, if we fail to deliver the service we 
promised.

Preparing Your Home for Sale 
What more could you want than to get your home sold for top dollar in short order without any 
hassles? If you take a moment and read through the following suggestions before you put the 
property on the market, you'll be on your way to a successful sale. 
Our goal is to simplify, depersonalize, and de-clutter the home in order for it to show larger and 
brighter, giving a more spacious feeling to potential buyers. These steps will provide you with 
an advantage over the competition. Many items will need to be removed to storage and 
packed for moving. This is important and should be considered as merely giving you a head 
start on the move to your new home. It is important to attract as many qualified buyers as. In 
preparing your home for sale, it is eminent to envision your home through a “buyer's eye”. 
Fact is, people purchase what they see, not “how it's going to be”. Now is the time to make 
your home as buyer-friendly as possible. It needs to be cleared from top to bottom in order to 
help it sell for the most amount of money. 
GENERAL 
■ Start by airing out the home. Most people are turned off by even the smallest odor. Odors 
must be eliminated, especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a 
smoker. 
■ If it has been over a year since the carpets have been cleaned - or if they really need it - now 
is the time to do it. Bare floors should be waxed or polished, as well. Replace when necessary. 
■ Clean and wipe down all stained woodwork including doors and cabinets with a wood 
maintenance product 
such as “Old English” or “Liquid Gold”. 
■ Replace or clean A/C filters. Clean all A/C vents and intake grids. 
■ Keep A/C set no warmer then 75 degrees and heat no cooler than 70 degrees. 
■ Use an air freshener in each room (Glade “Plug-ins” work well, but try to avoid floral scents as 
they can be to strong) or fill the house with the pleasant aroma of cinnamon or other fresh 
scents. This can be done by simply simmering a pan of water and cinnamon on the stove. 
■ Repaint walls, if necessary, in a neutral color such as antique white. Paint is your best 
improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money. Remember, presentation 
is key. 
■ Clear window ledges of all objects to give a nice glimpse of inside and out. 
■ Ask Yourself. Is there anything inside or out that “will not make the move”? If so, throw it out 
now. Don't wait until you sell. 
■ Think Positive. You are going to sell the house and move. Start packing small things up now. 
When the house sells, you will be glad you prematurely packed and it will make the house look 
great. The best things to pack are little knick-knacks, miscellaneous things that are not used in 
the practical sense. 
■ Keep It Simple. Nothing should touch the floor unless it's a piece of furniture. Remove all 
baskets, luggage,
yhdRealty.com – Smart Seller Program 9 
etc. The more floor space a buyer can see, the bigger the room will appear.

Carpet: 
■ Steam clean if not replacing. In replacing, choice that will be most appealing, preferably not 
loud colors. 
Bathroom: 
■ Clean all tubs, toilets, sinks, shower curtains. Then polish the sinks with lemon or vegetable 
oil. 
■ Stow unused shampoos, soaps, scrubbing implements, razors, etc under sink. 
■ Stow laundry hamper in closet. 
■ Stow wastebasket under sink. 
■ Rugs/commode lid cover should be removed. 
■ Store cleaners under sink. 
■ Streamline counter - 1 or 2 decorative items only. 
■ Linen cabinets should be organized and items reduced. 
■ Use baskets to hold make-up and toiletries so that after use they can be stored under the 
counter. 
■ Bathtubs, showers, and sinks should be freshly caulked. The grout and tile should be cleaned 
and in good condition. There should be no leaks in the faucet's or traps. Bleach discolored 
grout. 
■ Remove any wallpaper that is not “conservative”. No need to re-paper, just paint antique 
white. 
■ Decorate with towels. 
Kitchen: 
■ Keep all flat surfaces (countertops, appliance tops and furniture) cleared off as much as 
possible. 
■ Go over the kitchen as if you were a health inspector. 
■ Remove all magnets, notes, pictures, etc. from the front and sided of the refrigerator.

We will then provide a list of buyers that we have introduced to your home which protects us in the event that you do sell your home to one of the buyers we found. Q: Is it better to price high or low? A: It’s best to price reasonable from the start. You only have 1 time to make a great first impression. At any given time there is a pool of serious buyers. These are the buyers that are ready to submit offers and know the market well. By pricing right from the start you will have the most interest and the best activity to sell your home at a high price. Staying on the market for too long may result in a “stale” listing. This can only be invigorated by a price reduction which may also signal a desparate selling situation. Q: What’s the next step? A: Call us at 18882301578 to set up a time to meet with one of our top local agents in your area. They will explain the entire process of selling, assist in pricing, and provide you all the necessary documents to get your home listed for sale.

  • 9. yhdRealty.com – Smart Seller Program 8 Preparing Your Home for Sale What more could you want than to get your home sold for top dollar in short order without any hassles? If you take a moment and read through the following suggestions before you put the property on the market, you'll be on your way to a successful sale. Our goal is to simplify, depersonalize, and de-clutter the home in order for it to show larger and brighter, giving a more spacious feeling to potential buyers. These steps will provide you with an advantage over the competition. Many items will need to be removed to storage and packed for moving. This is important and should be considered as merely giving you a head start on the move to your new home. It is important to attract as many qualified buyers as. In preparing your home for sale, it is eminent to envision your home through a “buyer's eye”. Fact is, people purchase what they see, not “how it's going to be”. Now is the time to make your home as buyer-friendly as possible. It needs to be cleared from top to bottom in order to help it sell for the most amount of money. GENERAL ■ Start by airing out the home. Most people are turned off by even the smallest odor. Odors must be eliminated, especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker. ■ If it has been over a year since the carpets have been cleaned - or if they really need it - now is the time to do it. Bare floors should be waxed or polished, as well. Replace when necessary. ■ Clean and wipe down all stained woodwork including doors and cabinets with a wood maintenance product such as “Old English” or “Liquid Gold”. ■ Replace or clean A/C filters. Clean all A/C vents and intake grids. ■ Keep A/C set no warmer then 75 degrees and heat no cooler than 70 degrees. ■ Use an air freshener in each room (Glade “Plug-ins” work well, but try to avoid floral scents as they can be to strong) or fill the house with the pleasant aroma of cinnamon or other fresh scents. This can be done by simply simmering a pan of water and cinnamon on the stove. ■ Repaint walls, if necessary, in a neutral color such as antique white. Paint is your best improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money. Remember, presentation is key. ■ Clear window ledges of all objects to give a nice glimpse of inside and out. ■ Ask Yourself. Is there anything inside or out that “will not make the move”? If so, throw it out now. Don't wait until you sell. ■ Think Positive. You are going to sell the house and move. Start packing small things up now. When the house sells, you will be glad you prematurely packed and it will make the house look great. The best things to pack are little knick-knacks, miscellaneous things that are not used in the practical sense. ■ Keep It Simple. Nothing should touch the floor unless it's a piece of furniture. Remove all baskets, luggage,
