Re: Your guide to selling your home

{ENTERGREETING}

I am different from most real estate professionals. I have built my business on results, and am confident
I can deliver for you.

If the time is approaching for you to retain a real estate professional to help you sell your home, I ask
you to seriously consider hiring me for the job.

From pinpointing the optimal asking price and strategically marketing your property, to negotiating
your terms of sale and managing the paperwork, I will handle every last detail for you.

Selling your home alone can cause a lot of pressure and stress. If you choose to work with me,
you will have more time and energy to enjoy your life. I will work hard to:

       • Net you the most amount of money
       • In the shortest period of time
       • With the least amount of stress

This package contains helpful information for home owners, including an overview of the home selling
process, answers to frequently asked questions, my 14-step marketing plan and return on investment
statistics for home remodeling projects.

After you've had the chance to review this information, please contact me. I'd like to prepare an in-depth
analysis of your unique property, compare it to other listings in the market, and recommend a
personalized marketing program and pricing strategy for you.

I appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

frequently asked questions
  I don't want to pay an agent’s commission. Won't I net more money if I sell my home alone?
  It would appear that way. But according to statistics, the median selling price of a home sold by
  owner was 15.4% less than agent-assisted transactions*. That means in most cases, agents pay
  their own commissions, and sellers still receive more money than if they had done all the work
  themselves. So typically with an agent, you net more money and free yourself from all the paper,
  details and legalities involved throughout the process.

  Are there things we should do to our home to help ensure the maximum price?
  Yes. There is a benefit to making sure your home looks its best prior to offering it for sale. There are
  also small remodeling jobs that will pay off at resale. Even if you choose to sell your home without
  assistance, I would still be happy to advise you about specific improvements that will increase your
  home's marketability and value.

  If I listed with you, how would you advertise my property?
  I don't just list homes; I market them. I will make sure your home is marketed to potential buyers
  around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As part of my 14-step marketing plan, I will
  customize a marketing plan to reach buyers most likely to purchase your home. I know how to
  maximize the power of the Internet for my clients, while also using traditional methods including
  newspaper ads, brochures, yard signs and direct mail.

  Will you be present at all showings?
  At open houses I, or a member of my team, will be there. For showings, potential buyers will
  bring their own agents to see your home. Most buyers prefer only their own agents be present when
  evaluating a prospective new home.

  What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house?
  Some agents will quote a higher listing price just to get your business, but an overpriced house will
  not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to
  recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at the price, but ultimately
  the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will value your home.

frequently asked questions                 continued   …
  If I worked with you, would I have any responsibilities during the marketing of my home?
  Your primary job during the sale of your home will be to keep it neat and clean for showings and open
  houses. A large part of a homes appeal involves staging, which is everything from furniture placement
  to home fragrance. I will advise you on how to stage your home well, giving you easy tips and quick
  fixes to maximize your home’s appeal. Other than that, I will handle all of the advertising and
  marketing, screening of prospective buyers, offer evaluations, negotiation of terms of sale and
  management of your closing.

  What happens once we get an offer?
  I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you've accepted an offer,
  I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything proceeds smoothly.

what I do for you
  All real estate agents will claim they can sell your house...
  I promise to sell your house at the maximum price, with minimum hassle.


  Selling a home successfully requires experience, time and resources.

  Experience
  From pinpointing an optimal asking price to writing a purchase agreement and negotiating terms
  of sale, real estate transactions are a science.

  Time
  Selling a home involves hours of open houses, phone calls and paperwork that you shouldn't
  have to worry about. I will take care of it all for you.

  Resources
  Yard signs, brochures, ads, direct mail and Internet technology. Keeping your home in front of
  potential buyers requires marketing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  Selling your own home can be a daunting task. If you have questions along the way, I'd be happy to
  help you.

  Of course, I'd also love to manage the whole process for you so you can get away from the
  mountains of paperwork, and get back to your life.

my 14-step marketing plan
  My 14-step marketing plan is designed to get your home the maximum amount of exposure in the
       shortest period of time. Each step involves proven techniques that leverage the opportunities to
       showcase your home to key people that can either buy your home or help us find the right
       buyer: Prospective homebuyers, local real estate agents and investors.

  I will:

  1. Price your home strategically to be competitive with the current market and current price trends.

  2. Stage your home to showcase features that buyers are most interested in: uncluttered rooms and
     closets, fresh paint and pleasing drive-up appeal.

  3. Place For Sale signage, complete with property flyers that are accessible to drive-by prospects.

  4. Use an Interactive Voice Response system to provide free recorded information about your home
     24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each inquiry will be followed-up with a personal phone call.

  5. Distribute Just Listed marketing to neighbors, encouraging them to tell their family and friends
     about your home.

  6. Optimize your home's Internet presence by posting it on local and global MLS systems and adding
     multiple photographs and creative descriptions.

  7. Create a 360° virtual tour of your home and place it on multiple websites to attract local and out-of-
     town buyers.

  8. Create a home book, comment cards and flyers for your property. Showcasing additional
     information and photos of your home and neighborhood will attract extra attention.

  9. Target my marketing to active real estate agents that specialize in selling homes in your
     neighborhood.

  10. Include your home in our company/MLS tour to allow other agents to see your home first hand.

      prospective buyers and agents that have visited your home.

     maximizing your home’s value

         One of the benefits I offer my clients is advice on which remodeling projects bring
         the greatest added value at resale. While my years of experience have taught me
         which improvements are valued most in this local area, I weigh that against regional
         and national averages to draw the most accurate, statistically-sound
         recommendations.
         For our region, here's the average return on investment for some common projects:

         Your specific return on investment will depend on the value of your home, value of similar homes in
         your neighborhood, the availability and pricing of new homes, and the rate at which
         property values are changing in surrounding neighborhoods.


         Ultimately, a remodel can increase your equity when you sell.


         My goal is to net you the most money possible.


         I will help you decide which specific projects will maximize your home's sale price.

Add your name here Add your phone number here Date: [ENTERDATE] To: {SELLERSNAME} From: {AGENT NAME} Re: Your guide to selling your home {ENTERGREETING} I am different from most real estate professionals.

  • 5. {SELLERSNAME} the home selling process There are a lot of details to be handled when selling a home. It is my job to streamline the home sale process for you, ensuring everything is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. This overview was designed to help you understand the various steps along the way. Preparing for Sale Conduct comparative market analysis to establish a fair market value of your home Prepare and complete the listing agreement Recommend improvements to maximize your home's value Place a lock box on your property, if needed Marketing your Home Enter listing information into the MLS Place a For Sale sign on your property Notify top local agents of this new listing Schedule your home for office tour Schedule your home for MLS tour Distribute Just Listed flyers to your neighborhood Post your home information on the Internet Schedule and hold open houses Notify all potential buyers with details of listing Arrange showings for other agents Communicating with You Contact you regularly with feedback Prepare and deliver regular progress reports to you Discuss all marketing activities with you Coordinating the Sale Pre-qualify potential buyers Present and discuss all offers with you Negotiate your transaction with the other agent Prepare and finalize the closing {AGENT NAME} • {AGENT PHONE} {AGENT EMAIL} • {AGENT WEBSITE}

  • 7. {SELLERSNAME} frequently asked questions I don't want to pay an agent’s commission. Won't I net more money if I sell my home alone? It would appear that way. But according to statistics, the median selling price of a home sold by owner was 15.4% less than agent-assisted transactions*. That means in most cases, agents pay their own commissions, and sellers still receive more money than if they had done all the work themselves. So typically with an agent, you net more money and free yourself from all the paper, details and legalities involved throughout the process. Are there things we should do to our home to help ensure the maximum price? Yes. There is a benefit to making sure your home looks its best prior to offering it for sale. There are also small remodeling jobs that will pay off at resale. Even if you choose to sell your home without assistance, I would still be happy to advise you about specific improvements that will increase your home's marketability and value. If I listed with you, how would you advertise my property? I don't just list homes; I market them. I will make sure your home is marketed to potential buyers around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As part of my 14-step marketing plan, I will customize a marketing plan to reach buyers most likely to purchase your home. I know how to maximize the power of the Internet for my clients, while also using traditional methods including newspaper ads, brochures, yard signs and direct mail. Will you be present at all showings? At open houses I, or a member of my team, will be there. For showings, potential buyers will bring their own agents to see your home. Most buyers prefer only their own agents be present when evaluating a prospective new home. What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house? Some agents will quote a higher listing price just to get your business, but an overpriced house will not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at the price, but ultimately the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will value your home. *Source: The 2004 National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers {AGENT NAME} • {AGENT PHONE} {AGENT EMAIL} • {AGENT WEBSITE}
  • 8. {SELLERSNAME} frequently asked questions continued … If I worked with you, would I have any responsibilities during the marketing of my home? Your primary job during the sale of your home will be to keep it neat and clean for showings and open houses. A large part of a homes appeal involves staging, which is everything from furniture placement to home fragrance. I will advise you on how to stage your home well, giving you easy tips and quick fixes to maximize your home’s appeal. Other than that, I will handle all of the advertising and marketing, screening of prospective buyers, offer evaluations, negotiation of terms of sale and management of your closing. What happens once we get an offer? I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you've accepted an offer, I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything proceeds smoothly. {AGENT NAME} • {AGENT PHONE} {AGENT EMAIL} • {AGENT WEBSITE}
  • 9. {SELLERSNAME} what I do for you All real estate agents will claim they can sell your house... I promise to sell your house at the maximum price, with minimum hassle. Selling a home successfully requires experience, time and resources. Experience From pinpointing an optimal asking price to writing a purchase agreement and negotiating terms of sale, real estate transactions are a science. Time Selling a home involves hours of open houses, phone calls and paperwork that you shouldn't have to worry about. I will take care of it all for you. Resources Yard signs, brochures, ads, direct mail and Internet technology. Keeping your home in front of potential buyers requires marketing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 82% of home sales are the result of agent connections Source: National Association of REALTORS® Selling your own home can be a daunting task. If you have questions along the way, I'd be happy to help you. Of course, I'd also love to manage the whole process for you so you can get away from the mountains of paperwork, and get back to your life. {AGENT NAME} • {AGENT PHONE} {AGENT EMAIL} • {AGENT WEBSITE}
