of service, integrity and honesty.

time homebuyers, down-sizers and single family end users.

• I protect your home

• I am well respected in real estate. I have outstanding reviews of my past work from both

clients, their lawyers and their mortgage brokers.

• I have and always will develop mutually respectful relationships with my colleagues and

competitors but I will never let my clients be taken advantage of by other agent’s negotiation

techniques. I successfully maintain the balance between professional respect and protecting

my client’s interest.

• I am flexible with your needs. I customize your home’s marketing plan, open house schedule and appointment calendar to your priorities.

• I work hard to stay abreast of all real estate issues by attending educational seminars

and networking with professionals in related fields.

ASKING PERCENTAGEAs the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase

their properties at market value than above market value.

If you price your property at market value, you are

exposing it to a much greater percentage of prospective

buyers and you are increasing your opportunity for a sale.

BUYERS AND SELLERS DETERMINE VALUEThe value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay

and a SELLER is willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers make their

pricing decision based on comparing your property to other property SOLD in

your area.

It is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the signing of the listing agreement. Historically, your first offer is usually your best offer.

PRICE IT RIGHT

Do you want to lead the market or follow? I will create a Comparative Market Analysis for you. This will allow you to see what similar homes are currently selling for. We will then consider any additional features that may add or subtract value to your home. This will decide an appropriate price.

INCENTIVES

We should discuss providing an incentive to Realtors. A home that offers an additional bonus is not easy to forget. Real estate agents are working in a tough market and will work to sell a home that offers a bonus. You could provide the buyers their own incentive. You could buy down an interest point.

STAGE IT PROPERLY

Please review the “Preparing Your Home” section of this presentation to see how to successfully prepare your home for appointments and Open Houses. Once your home is organized, spotless and appointment ready I will take photos to capture your home’s full quality.

THE INITIAL PLAN

These are the initial steps

we take to market your

property then after

discussing your priorities

we can further

customize.

ACCEPTANCECongratulations, you’re on your way to having your property sold!

REJECTIONUnconditional... unfortunately, your home is still on the market.

COUNTER OFFERAny change to the contract constitutes a counter offer. You are not in the renegotiation

stage.

NO ACTION

Equals rejection. Your home is still on the market.

PREPARING FOR THE OFFER

In slow economic times, offers to purchase routinely come in “low” whereas in healthy economic times, offers are closer to the asking price.

Do not be offended by an offer received.

Be offended by buyers who tour your property and don’t submit an offer.

Page 10: Selling Your Home

INSPECTIONS

INSPECTIONS AND POTENTIAL REPAIRS ARE THE NUMBER ONE REASON SALES DON’T CLOSE. TYPICALLY, BUYERS HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS IN WHICH TO

INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PROPERTY BASED UPON THESE MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS.

Home Warranty Plans go a long way to alleviate some risks and concerns. For a modest

price, the seller can provide to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating, plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.

Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all cases, there are important limitations and

exclusions (example: appliances/systems must be operative at commencement of coverage).

WHERE WE MARKET

When you are ready for the listing to become active we immediately enter the property into the Westchester/Putnam Listing Service. This puts your home in

front of 8,000 real estate agents. Additionally, the MLS immediately distributes the home to several other sites including Realtor.com.

Your home is also entered into the KWLS (Keller Williams Listing System). The KWLS offers a national and Canadian MLS system. The home is then

available for Keller Williams agents from Quebec to California. From the KWLS the listing branches to hundreds of websites.
