IN THEIR OWN WORDS…WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUTANN-LOUISE PREMIUM PROPERTIESAnn-Louise Savage is proud of her every day achievements. Her success is built on a great reputation, repeat business and outstanding results, but knowing that she has helped make it an enjoyable experience is all that really matters.
Some of Ann-Louise’s clients are so happy, they go out of their way to communicate their feedback. Here’s just some of her most recent testimonials.
We cannot speak highly enough your professional approach throughout our open house inspections, and tireless efforts at constantly keeping us as a family informed of the various stages of the sale. We never felt kept in the dark…we thank you for your consideration…We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to sell their home and seeking a reliable, intelligent and wholly professional agent. The Ingram Family
It did not go unnoticed that you had sourced a variety of buyers and that you had the personal touch with these buyers so that you knew your market and were able to present our properties in the best light as well as having genuine buyers present. I know that I can rely on you to provide the best possible solution to my real estate requirements while still remaining professional and always of service, thank you. Ella Forsyth
Ann-Louise showed us a number of properties and in doing so displayed a great deal of enthusiasm and commitment in finding our desired property. We were most impressed with
11 | P a g e
Ann-Louise’s professional manner, and she was both helpful and very knowledgeable about real estate matters. Dr Jill Geiblinger
I appreciated your attitude at all times. Not once did you put any pressure on us to accept a lower price on our home. I have no hesitation in recommending western suburbs residents to the services you can offer. John and Audrey Perraton
Ann-Louise was at all times excellent in her attitude towards us. She is in our opinion very competent, and was very professional in all matters attending to the sale of our property. R.B. and M.T Duke
The fact that the sales campaign took less than two weeks to achieve a successful result is in no small measure due to your enthusiasm and competent and professional approach to this matter. Alan and Judith Caradine
In the past decade we have not experienced as positive and satisfying service…as the one we had recently with Ann-Louise Savage. The accurate market information, friendly and practical advice, and courteous and responsive service we received throughout the entire sales
impressed us. The fact that both we and the buyers felt well served during the settlement spoke volumes of Ann-Louise as an outstanding consultant. We have no hesitation in recommending her any of our friends. Blunden Butt and Maggi Gough
Ann-Louise displayed a welcome level of commitment. She was not motivated by self-interest but in securing a positive outcome for us. During negotiations she demonstrated skill and judgement in knowing when to be diplomatic, when to be pragmatic and, if required, when to display strength and assertiveness. A.D. and E.J. Harris

I was extremely impressed by your professionalism and dedication in making the sale, and to have received a higher price than my best expectation naturally pleased me very much! The high standard of ethics you displayed was also impressive. Thanks from my wife and myself for carrying out this sale so well and efficiently. Ian Wedding
My wife and I certainly appreciated your honesty, commitment, enthusiasm and professional approach in all of our dealings. Most important to us was the fact that you kept us totally informed of all activities surrounding the sale of our property and there were no surprises. Ross and Gaynor Graham
In addition to your commitment, I particularly appreciated your discretion and your sensitivity to my wishes. Selling a home can be a difficult and emotional process, and your approachability and genuine concern made the situation so much easier for me than it might otherwise have been. That you were able to secure the sales within a relatively short period of time at a very satisfactory price proves that professional standards do not have to be sacrificed to obtain a successful outcome. Penny Cooper
Ann-Louise met all of the criteria that I felt was required to sell my property. Her negotiating skills, guidance and encouragement were second to none through all stages of the sale. Pauline Wilson
We have now sold two properties through Ann-Louise and have also had dealings with her as a prospective purchaser. We have found her to be diligent and committed to a successful conclusion, and always scrupulously honest and reliable. Joanne Patchett
Thanks for making the experience of selling our home so painless. We are both very happy with the price, and are just as happy to recommend you to our friends. Jane Christensen

In any kind of business I suppose the best test is would you use the same people again, and in this case I’m happy to say yes. Ann-Louise got the result we wanted and was great to deal with. Digby Whetton
We were promised a high standard of service and a commitment to excellence at our first meeting, and it was delivered from that moment on by Ann-Louise. We believed Ann-Louise always had our best interests at heart, and have no hesitation in recommending her. Greg Pearse
Ann-Louise has integrity, a sense of humour and a down to earth approach. We recommend Ann-Louise to prospective buyers and vendors unreservedly. A & E Harris
It was a pleasing result for the sale to be achieved in relatively short time in a quiet market. I found Ann-Louise to be very professional and consistent in her communications on progress during the selling period. Mike Kaval
Ann-Louise remained professional, efficient and friendly. She gave regular, frequent and appropriate feedback that kept us well informed. She worked hard to obtain the best price in a highly ethical manner. Associate Professor Tony Lamont

MARKETING YOUR HOME WITH ANN-LOUISE SAVAGE
Selling your home is a complex procedure. That’s why it is so important to choose the right agent – a professional who understands your requirements, a professional who can accurately assess current local market conditions and provide you with the highest level of services and integrated solutions.
Like every agent, Ann-Louise Savage’s over-riding objective is to sell your property at the highest price in the shortest time possible with minimum stress for you. What sets her apart is how she goes about achieving your real estate goals and dreams.
Marketing begins with the relationship between Ann-Louise, you and your property. To start with, she makes sure she listens to what you want. She will spend as much time as it takes to thoroughly understand your specific needs and to learn everything there is to know about your property.
Ann-Louise will also suggest how to enhance your property's value and how to present it in the best possible light to make it more saleable.
Her expertise and property market knowledge will help you decide on the most appropriate marketing schedule and price range expectation - a balance between promoting a speedy sale and achieving the highest possible dollar value.
19 | P a g e
She will ensure you completely understand every stage of the sale - the processes of listing, showing, contract and settlement. She will also explain the mutual responsibilities and obligations that are part of the process.
20 | P a g e
Before you decide on a marketing plan, she will explain the benefits of each aspect of marketing to highlight your property's unique selling points.
A customised, cost effective plan will be uniquely tailored to suit your property and your individual needs. It will be a combination of traditional marketing (such as newspaper advertising, open houses and window displays) and high-tech tools including websites, virtual tours, email and mobile technology campaigns.
Add to that her own extensive database of potential buyers along with RE/MAX’s worldwide buyer profiles and you will have a marketing plan that is second to none.
For properties at the very peak of Brisbane’s market, the RE/MAX Collection Marketing Programs includes professional photography, copywriting and floorplans to create presentations at a level worthy of their premium value.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALEINSIDE PRESENTATION – refer to www.annlouiseproperties.com for detailed preparation programme
Ensure your house is clean and tidy. Think about hiring furniture or employing the talents of an
interior designer. Ann-Louise will be able to help you here. Make sure all doors work well (handles turn and lock smoothly,
and doors don't jam). Open curtains to allow as much light in as possible. Remove clutter. Rub lavender oil into door-jambs to provide a soothing clean
smell. Ensure the home is free of pet odours. Leave pet food trays
outside.
OUTSIDE PRESENTATION Replace all cracked or broken glass. Make sure all gates work well (handles turn and lock smoothly, and
doors don't jam). Remove leaves and sticks from gutter. Replace broken fences or missing palings. Mow the lawns and mulch where necessary.
INSPECTIONS / OPEN HOMES Try to be out of the house when buyers inspect as they will feel more comfortable. Make sure the house is a comfortable temperature. Ensure Ann-Louise knows what makes your house a home- explain why it has that special
23 | P a g e
'feel' for you, point out its highlights. This will help the photographer create advertising materials that really capture the feeling of the home.
“…you’ve done all you can. Now, relax as Ann-Louise does
her job…”
24 | P a g e
Thank you for inviting me to your home.
I hold the responsibility of looking after what is normally my clients’ greatest asset in the highest regard and continually work towards providing the ultimate real estate experience.
Although I am proud of the results I have achieved, my most important goal is to constantly exceed the benchmarks I have set in the real estate industry.
With a business philosophy aimed squarely at client care, effective marketing and superior results, I look forward to the opportunity of proving my commitment and ‘unbridled enthusiasm’ to creating the best possible result for you.
Regards
Ann-Louise Savage.
