Pricing
A real estate professional is best suited to determine a pricing strategy for your property. You don’t want to miss opportunities by
overpricing or undervaluing your property. Knowledge about the surrounding areas, pricing trends, local information, and experience
will ensure you are getting the best price for your home.
Marketing
A real estate professional has many ways to effectively market your property. Proven marketing methods include
flyers, open houses, the internet, local newspapers, and listing in the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). There is a
common misconception that advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies
show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends and family, and
personal contacts.
Keep in mind, advertising is only one part of marketing. The choice of media and frequency of advertising depends a lot
on the home and specific market. Overexposure of a property in any media may give a buyer the impression the
property is distressed or the seller is desperate. A qualified real estate professional will know when, where and how to
advertise your property.
Marketing also includes the exposure of your home to other real estate professionals and the general public. In many
markets over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate professional other than yours brings
in the buyer. Your real estate professional acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property
to other real estate professionals through the MLS, open houses, and office meetings.
Preparation is critical to marketing your property effectively. A real estate professional is best suited to recommend
repairs and cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your home.
Security
When the property is marketed with the help of a qualified real estate professional, you avoid allowing strangers into
your home. Real estate professionals will generally pre-screen and accompany qualified prospects through your
property. This increases your safety and allows for any last minute preparation.
Negotiating
Your real estate professional can assist you with objectively evaluating every buyer's proposal without compromising
your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the start of a process that involves appraisals, inspections, and
financing - and a lot of potential obstacles. Your real estate professional can help you write a legally binding agreement
that will be more likely to make it through this complicated process.
Your real estate professional can also meet with other professionals involved in the transaction process. Their industry
contacts can make sure any unforeseen issues are handled reliably and quickly.

You need to price your home prudently from the beginning, when buyer interest
will be high.
Timing is very important in real estate. The above graphic shows the importance of
placing your property on the market at a realistic price from the start. A home attracts
the most excitement and interest when it is first placed on the market for sale. A home
has its greatest chance for selling when it is newly listed. Pricing your home correctly,
from the start, will help it sell in the shortest possible time frame.

General Exterior
· Prospective buyers will react well to signs your home has been meticulously maintained.
· Manicure landscaping: mow, edge and water lawn, trim hedges, weed and fertilize flowerbeds, and prune
trees.
· Keep driveway clean and free of parked cars, and keep the garage door closed.
· Repair or replace loose or damaged roof shingles.
· Minimize cracks or crumbling on walkways, walls, or steps, and keep them clean and free of obstructions like
toys or snow.
· Items from RV’s to waste cans left out can contribute to a cluttered or busy appearance. Make sure that from
the street, your property appears clear.
· Inspect appearance of interior window coverings from the curb.
· Repair any peeling paint or loose caulking on windows or other areas.
· Take steps to eliminate insect or rodent pests.
· Pick up after your pets and neighborhood animals.
Doorway
· While agents work the lockbox for a key, buyers have idle time to notice details.
· Apply a fresh coat of paint to the front door.
· Consider adding pots of flowering plants in the entryway if weather permits.
· Eliminate cobwebs and groom doorway area windows, porch light, or decorative glass.
Interior Appeal
· Once inside, experts say most buyers are reaffirming their curbside decision.
