Buyer’s Agent Seller’s Agent Disclosed Dual Agent When you agree to have me help you sell your property, I become your “seller’s agent”, which means I will work for your best interests throughout the entire process. When an offer is presented, the buyers will have a separate agency relationship with their broker. If I happen to also work with a buyer, I will inform you and then we will agree with to situation in writing so there is no misunderstanding. When real estate professionals work with buyers and sellers, “agency” relationships are established. There are three kinds of agency relationships:

Slide 8: 

What do you feel are the most appealing features of this property? What features does this property have that differentiate it from other similar properties? What changes or enhancements would you suggest to make your property as salable as possible? What do you regard as the most attractive features of the surrounding neighborhood ? Do you have any special terms or conditions regarding the sale of your property I should be aware of (e.g., items of personal property to be excluded, etc.)? Are you aware of any problems or concerns regarding the property or the neighborhood that will need to be disclosed to prospective buyers? Each property has special features that may interest buyers. Please tell me about your house.

Slide 12:

Slide 13:

Our innovative and aggressive advertising and marketing activities will help attract qualified buyers to your property.

Slide 16: 

A written property disclosure statement will give buyers a clear understanding of this property and the surrounding neighborhood. A home warranty can give prospective buyers peace of mind by providing repair-or-replace coverage of major home operating systems and appliances. Professional inspections , such as structural, roof and termite, will reveal the current condition of the property. By providing peace of mind to prospective buyers, these steps can enhance the salability of your property:

Slide 18: 

The existing pool of prospective buyers determines a property’s value, based on: Location, design, amenities and condition. Availability of comparable (competing) properties. Economic conditions that affect real property transactions. Factors that have little or no influence on the market value of a house include: The price the seller originally paid for the property. The seller’s expected net proceeds. The amount spent on improvements. The impact of accurate pricing: Properties priced within market range generate more showings and offers, and sell in a shorter period of time. Properties priced too high have a difficult time selling. Market-sensitive pricing can be the key to maximum market exposure and, ultimately, a satisfactory sale.

Slide 19: 

An impartial evaluation of market activity is the most effective way to estimate a property’s potential selling price. A Comparative Market Analysis considers similar properties that: Have sold in the recent past This shows us what buyers in this market have actually paid for properties similar to yours. Are currently on the market These are properties that will be competing with yours for the attention of available buyers. Failed to sell Understanding why these properties did not sell can help avoid disappointment in the marketing of your property.

Slide 20: 

An asking price that is beyond market range can adversely affect the marketing of a property. Fewer buyers are attracted, and fewer offers received. Marketing time is prolonged, and initial marketing momentum is lost. The property attracts “lookers” and helps competing houses look better by comparison. If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise, and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan. The property may eventually sell below market value.

Slide 22: 

No one has a more important role in the homeselling process than you. Here are some ways your participation can contribute to a successful sale: Maintain the property in ready-to-show condition. Ensure that the house is easily accessible to real estate professionals (lock box and key). Try to be flexible in the scheduling of showings. When you are not at home, let me know how you can be reached in case an offer is received. If approached directly by a buyer who is not represented by a real estate professional, please contact me. Do not allow them into the property unescorted. Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications.

Slide 23: 

It is important for a property to make the best possible impression on prospective buyers. The following can interfere with a buyer’s appreciation of a property: Exterior Clutter Lawn needs mowing and edging Untrimmed hedges and shrubs Dead and dying plants Grease or oil spots on the driveway Peeling paint Anything that looks old or worn Interior Worn carpets and drapes Soiled windows, kitchen, baths Clutter Pet and smoking odors Peeling paint, smudges or marks on walls

Slide 24: 

These tips can help your house make the best impression, every time it is previewed by sales professionals or shown to prospective buyers: Interior Make beds; clean up dishes; empty wastebaskets. Remove clutter throughout and put away toys. Set out “show towels” in baths. Freshen the air; potpourri or baked bread aroma; deodorize pet areas; set a comfortable temperature. Do quick vacuuming and dusting. Arrange fresh flowers throughout. Fire in fireplace (when appropriate). Play soft background music. Exterior Remove toys, newspapers, yard tools and other clutter. Tidy up; pick up after pets. Park vehicles in the garage or on the street; leave the driveway clear. Add color with flowers and potted plants.
