Preparing You
For A Successful
Sale

Welcome,
I realize that you have a choice when hiring an agent to help you sell your home 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:
• Accurately pricing your home.
• Enhancing the perceived - and real - value of your home, enabling you to command a higher
asking price.
• Providing unmatched marketing including professional staging, photography, video and
custom property web sites.
• Securing a qualified buyer within your specific time frame.
• Helping you avoid the two main reasons sales fall apart - low lender’s appraisals and problems
with the home inspection.
Regardless of the price of your home, when you hire me as your Realtor, both you - and your
home - will be prepared for a successful sale.
Warm Regards,
Carl W. Semien

Paul Jackson – Investor- Retired
Dear Mr. Semien I wish to thank you for the excellent services rendered in the sale on
my investment property located at 2175 Belvedere Avenue, S.W. Atlanta. There were
times during this process that I became quite discouraged with the process that were
out of your control. When the mortgage company changed the closing date for the
third of fourth time, quite frankly I was ready "to call the whole thing off". However,
you were always encouraging: Willing "to look at the bright side" and exert that extra
effort to make the deal work. You are indeed the consummate professional and I truly
feel that without your vast skills and patience, the timely sale of my property would
not have occurred. Paul Jackson 1479 Lucille Avenue, S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30310

had. He was courteous and timely relieving me of a lot of stress which usually
accompany any such a life changing experience. I would recommend him to
anyone of my relatives or friends without any hesitation. Sincerely,

Testimonials
Wonya Lucas – Chief Marketing Officer –TV One
To whom it may concern: I would like to recommend, Carl Semien, if you are looking
for a consultant, not an agent. Carl , with his creativity and persistency, was able to help
me with the purchase of my home that was actually mine about 4 years ago before my
family moved to Maryland. My old home was not for sale but Carl’s put a strategy together to
approach the seller with a proposition to sell his home. I was aware that he was being
promoted as a Chief Financial Officer with Coco Cola and would be relocating to Belgium.
Armed with this knowledge, Carl submitted an offer to my liking and negotiated the sale of
my home. He also structured a rent back agreement to the seller because his son was graduating
And he did not want to move his family until graduation. It was a win-win for everyone. He also
did this negotiation during a 5-day ice storm when the city of Atlanta was virtually shut down.
This is the type of person you want to protect your investment when it comes to real estate.

Testimonials
Derrik and Chinita Allen- General Electric -GM
To whom it may concern: I am writing this letter as my own personal letter of reference for Mr.
Carl Semien of Keller Wiliams Intown Realty. Carl served as my family's realtor during our
recent move from Bowie, Maryland to Atlanta, Georgia. I must immediately say that this move,
largely because of the efforts of Carl, could not have been better. Carl was very courteous and
professional in dealing with my wife and I. He showed us the types of properties and
neighborhoods that we were interested in seeing, and not once tried to force any particular
property or location upon us. This was exactly the type of behavior we were seeking in a realtor.
We were able to call upon Carl at any time and leverage his knowledge of the area and
extensive network of contacts to take care of a lot of business beyond just the purchase of our
home. If you are looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable, dependable, courteous and has
the utmost professionalism, then I would suggest that you look no further than Carl Semien. If
you would like to speak with me in more detail about my experiences in working with Carl,
please feel free to call me at 678-438-9621.
