3. Mission Statement
There is nothing I do in my real estate business that I take more pride in
than providing the best possible service to all my clients. You can rest
assured that I will get the job done with the utmost care and precision
and I will do something everyday that will help your house sell.
As your Realtor I have three main goals; sell your house for the highest
possible price, in the shortest amount of time and least amount of
stress.
After all, selling your biggest investment can be a stressful process, but it
doesn’t have to be. Through open communication, dedication to service
and common goals we can make selling your home a stress free and
exciting process.

4. Business Philosophy
I will always treat all parties to a transaction fairly and honestly. I will never
tell a client what they want to hear if it’s not reality or enter into a business
relationship where I know what is expected of me cannot be accomplished
in good faith.
I will always…
 Remember that your goals are my goals
 Promote the best interest of my client
 Obtain the best price and terms possible
I share this with you because I believe it’s important for you to know how I
work for my clients and my philosophy towards the real estate industry.

6. Listing Process Overview
1. Property review and preparing your home for the market.
 An aesthetically appealing home makes visitors feel comfortable and
welcome, permitting them to appreciate the unique features rather than
forcing them to think about how they'll have to fix it up. Make casual lookers
seriously consider your house by creating a sparkling clean environment that
they can envision themselves in.
 Thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of the property for condition,
upgrades and any repairs that may be necessary. Specifically looking for
anything that may detract from the value or salability.
•. The Buyers first impression and overall cleanliness of the property is
critical. Properties that show well always sell faster and at a higher
price.

7. Listing Process Overview (continued)
2. Perform an in-depth Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine the
best list price and most likely sales price for your home.
3. If the property is not appropriately priced, a sale may be delayed or even
prevented. Reviewing the comparative market analysis of your home and
similar properties in the area will assist us in determining the best price. By
knowing and listing within the estimated range of realistic market-set prices,
you'll find yourself at the closing table rather than having to reconsider your
original list price.

5. Using my appraisal background and my understanding of real estate values, l
will thoroughly analyze all market and value factors and make the necessary
adjustments.

8. Listing Process Overview (continued)
●
Important market factors: average days on market, absorption rate, number of
active listings, list price to sales price ratio, availability of financing and
timeframe trend statistics.
●
●
Important value factors: beds, baths, square feet, upgrades, condition, garage,
lot size, basement finish and location.
●
Sold and Under Contract properties are the best indicators of value and are
weighed more heavily within the CMA than Active properties
●
Active properties are still important because smart Buyers will learn
the local market and interpret value by weighing your home against
comparable prospects in the area.

17. Contract and Negotiations
1. Once the offer is received we have 3 basic options:
1. Accept
2. Reject
3. Counter Offer
2. Together we will analyze the offer and discuss its strengths and
weaknesses.
3. Discuss the Buyers qualifications and ability to perform with their Lender.

Sellers. This experience and knowledge is vital in protecting your best
interests and negotiating the best possible outcome on your behalf.

convenient: phone, text or email.

 What is their opinion on price, condition and special features
7. Open for business 24/7. I am always available to answer any

19. Benefits of Proper Pricing
●
Faster Sale: The proper price gets a faster sale, which means you save on mortgage
payments, insurance and other carrying costs.
●
Less Inconvenience: It takes a lot of time and energy to prepare your home for
showings. Keeping the property in showing condition, making arrangements for kids
and pets and generally altering your lifestyle. Proper price from the beginning reduces
the time on market.
●
Increased agent response: When agents are excited about a property and its price
they will make special efforts to contact all their potential buyers and show the
property as soon as possible.
●
Better response to advertising: Buyer inquiry calls are more readily converted into
showing appointments when the price is not a deterrent.
●
Higher Offers: When a property is priced right Buyers are much less likely to submit a
low offer for fear of losing out on a great deal. You increase your net proceeds by
accepting a higher offer and lower carrying costs.

20. Dangers of Overpricing
1. Many potential Buyers won’t even look at your property thinking its out of their
price range.
2. Buyers shop by comparison and looking at an overpriced property may convince
them to make an offer on another listing.
5. Since an appraisal is always required by the lender its counterproductive to price a
property for more than it can appraise.
6. Overpricing the property increases the days on market and invariably results in a
lower offers and selling price.
3 Reasons Why Properties Don’t Sell:
 Price
 Condition
 Location
