Your Needs Come First
The process of marketing and selling your house must match your
objectives, priorities and needs.
In order to best serve you, I want to learn more about your plans and needs. The
following topics outlined below can help me understand your goals and help us
build a strong working relationship:
• The agency laws that may apply as we work together in the marketing and sale of
your property.
• The objectives you want to achieve from the sale of your house and the support
you expect to receive from me.
• How the homeselling process should be tailored to fit the
characteristics of your property.
6. Back to Menu
Agency Relationships
When real estate professionals work with buyers and sellers,
“agency” relationships are established. There are three kinds:
• Buyer’s Agent
• Seller’s Agent
• Disclosed Dual Agent
When you agree to have me help you sell your property, I become your “seller’s
agent”, which means I will work for your best interests throughout the entire process.
When an offer is presented, the buyers will have a separate agency relationship with
their broker.

properties?
3. What changes or enhancements would you suggest to make your property as salable
as possible?

neighborhood?

neighborhood that will need to be disclosed to prospective buyers?

Important Ways to
Protect Your Property
By providing peace of mind to prospective buyers,
these steps can enhance the salability of your property:
• A written property disclosure statement will give
buyers a clear understanding of this property and
the surrounding neighborhood.
• A home warranty can give prospective buyers
peace of mind by providing repair-or-replace
coverage of major home operating systems and
appliances.
• Professional inspections, such as structural, roof
and termite, will reveal the current condition of
the property.
23. Back to Menu
Understanding Market Value
Market-sensitive pricing can be the key to maximum
market exposure and, ultimately, a satisfactory sale.
The existing pool of prospective buyers determines a property’s value, based on:
• Location, design, amenities and condition
• Availability of comparable (competing) properties
• Economic conditions that affect real property transactions
Factors that have little or no influence on the market value of a house include:
• The price the seller originally paid for the property
• The seller’s expected net proceeds
• The amount spent on improvements
The impact of accurate pricing:
• Properties priced within market range generate more showings and offers, and
sell in a shorter period of time
• Properties priced too high have a difficult time selling
24. Back to Menu
Determining a
Market Sensitive Price
An impartial evaluation of market activity is the most effective way to
estimate a property’s potential selling price. A Comparative Market
Analysis considers similar properties that:
Have sold in the recent past
– This shows us what buyers in this market have actually paid for
properties similar to yours.
Are currently on the market
– These are properties that will be competing with yours for the
attention of available buyers.
Failed to sell
– Understanding why these properties did not sell can help avoid
disappointment in the marketing of your property.

Dangers of Overpricing
• The asking price that is beyond market range can adversely affect the
marketing of a property.
• Marketing time is prolonged and initial marketing momentum is lost.

You Are the Key Player
on the Homeselling Team
No one has a more important role in the homeselling process
than you. Here are some ways your participation
can contribute to a successful sale:
• Maintain the property in ready-to-show condition.
• Ensure that the house is easily accessible to real estate professionals (lock box and
key).
• Try to be flexible in the scheduling of showings.
• When you are not at home, let me know how you can be reached in case an offer is
received.
• If approached directly by a buyer who is not represented by a real estate professional,
please contact me. Do not allow them into the property unescorted.
• Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications.
• If you have pets, we can arrange for them to be safe and secured while your home is
being shown.
