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.
82% of home sales are the result of agent connections

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.

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:
Bathroom remodel Roofing replacement

Midwest 78.3% Midwest 81.8%
Deck addition Master suite addition
Midwest 89.7% Midwest 72.2%
Window replacement Major kitchen remodel
Midwest 82.4% Midwest 72.6%
Attic bedroom Basement remodel
Midwest 79.2% Midwest 68.9%
Family room addition Sunroom addition
Midwest 77.3% Midwest 67.0%
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.
