98% of all Americans and

• The Prudential yard sign in

marketing tool.

20. Effective pricing
The value of your home is determined by:
• Market data from comparable properties in your area:
- Active listings
- Pending sales
- Recent sold properties
• Location and street appeal
• Condition
• Added features and updates
The reality is this:
Your home is worth only
what a buyer is willing
to pay.

21. The importance of proper pricing
Overpricing limits the
amount of buyers willing
to view your home,
decreasing your
opportunities to sell.

22. Pricing dictates buyer activity
The first few weeks are critical for market momentum.
The greatest
opportunity for a
successful home sale is
within the first few
weeks.

23. Prudential Value Range Marketing™
Our exclusive Prudential Value Range Marketing™
can give your property an advantage over other
homes on the market. This is OPTIONAL for those
wanting some unique pricing.

24. Signs and effects of overpricing
Your home may be overpriced if there are:
• No showings
• Comparable homes around you selling
• Comparable homes selling for less
• Showings, but no offers

Please keep in mind, the way you live in a home is different than the way you
show a home that’s for sale.
Things you can do:

Here are some ways you can help:

• Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications

35. Selling your home for top dollar
• Set optimal lighting and temperature
controls
• Contact me if you are approached
directly by a buyer who is not
represented by a real estate
professional – do not allow them into
your home unescorted

36. My commitment to you
You can rely on me to provide professional representation and look out for your best interests.
I will update you regularly, in the manner you desire,
to discuss:
• Online traffic reports
