Key Point Summary

KEY OBJECTIVES

Selling a Home Requires Full Owner Participation – Learn How to Prepare Your Home for Sale

Pricing is the Key – Learn How to Price Your Home to Sell in Today’s Market

Maximum Exposure – Learn How to Market Your Home to Sell in 90 Days or Less

UNDERSTANDING THE SALES PROCESS

A Primer on Selling Your Home

STEP 1-SELECT A LISTING AGENT

Interview three agents to list your home for sale. Ask questions and demand detailed answers regarding

commission structure, pricing and marketing.

If someone suggests a specific list price, inquire as to the basis of the list price. In today’s market, setting the list price at a reasonable range of value is the highest priority.

STEP 2—RESEARCH MARKET VALUE

Start your research by reviewing your purchase price paid for the property and then apply the historical price appreciation rate for your neighborhood.

Review the appraised value as determined by the Assessor’s Office.

Use computer generated valuation services such as Zillow.com to determine a broad range of value for your property. These tools provide assistance in determining the range of value. However, these tools have limitations and rely on broad statistical measures.

For a more accurate opinion of value, request an appraisal, broker’s opinion of value or competitive market analysis from a qualified real estate professional.

STEP 3—PREPARING HOME FOR SALE

Prepare your home for sale by eliminating clutter, improving landscaping, painting, eliminating odors, etc.

If you are committed to moving, box up those unused items.

Consider using a professional stager to suggest a plan for improving the “curb appeal” of the home.

After the suggested changes have been made, take photographs of the property under optimal lighting.

STEP 4—ORGANIZE DOCUMENTATION

Organize your documents including such items as title policies, surveys, condo and subdivision documents, appliance operation manuals, warranties and heating bills.

Create a floor plan with room dimensions.

Create a list of home features and updates including dates of installation, costs of installation and installer information.

Identify the source of heating, cooling, and energy sources for water heater.

STEP 5—PERFORM PRE-LISTING INSPECTION

Perform a pre-listing building inspection to identify potential problem areas.

Depending on the cost of suggested repairs, perform repairs that add value to the transaction.

WHY DO A PRE-LISTING INSPECTION?

Building inspections and the negotiation of repairs are one of the top reasons that sales don’t close or don’t close as scheduled.

Pre-Listing Inspection are important for the following reasons:

Anticipate Potential Problems Save Money – Do Repairs Using Your Contractor on Your Terms Save Time – Close on Time

Do Deferred Maintenance Now!

STEP 6—REVIEW MARKETING PLAN

Develop a written marketing plan with specifics:Open Houses Print Ad Placements Post Card Direct Marketing E-Mail and Direct Advertising Campaigns to Real Estate

Agents E-Mail Marketing Campaigns Website Placements Online Real Estate Classified Advertisements Real Estate Syndication Services Real Estate Blogs Social Media Other Internet Advertising Opportunities

STEP 7—REVIEW TERMS OF LISTING

After reviewing the valuation opinions provided by the listing agent, review competing property offered for sale in your neighborhood.

Adjust the list price to be within a competitive range of other

similar properties listed for sale in your neighborhood.

Review the listing agreement to verify the total sales commission and commission split with cooperating brokers. If the commission paid to cooperating agents is less than 2.25%, inquire as to the reasons for a reduced commission split. Commissions less than 2.25% may impact the number of showings by cooperating agents.

Review sales incentives offered by competing properties.

Develop an incentive package that provides assistance to purchasers in your price range.

STEP 8—PREPARE DISCLOSURES

Review the questions contained in the seller’s disclosure statement.

Provide accurate and complete answers to all questions.

STEP 9—REVIEW MARKETING PLAN AND COLLATERAL

Review all advertising and marketing collateral to verify its accuracy.

Suggest changes in design, photographs, etc. to enhance the image of the property.

Often, the internet is used to disqualify properties for showings.

Poor photographs or incomplete listing information will reduce the number of showings.

Request additional collateral pieces such lender information and interest rates, title insurance quotations, etc. to assist purchasers in the home buying process

STEP 10—OPEN HOUSES

Discuss the placement of directional signs prior to open houses.

Clean house prior to open house.

Eliminate odors in home prior to open houses

STEP 11—REVIEW TRAFFIC REPORTS

Request information to track prospects including copies of sign-in sheets, telephone logs, and traffic reports.

Request periodic market updates including expired listings, pending sales and closed sales of similar homes.

Reviewing market data periodically may reveal an error in the positioning of your home in the market. Expired sales of similar homes in your neighborhood may indicate an error in the pricing of your home.

Review the list price with the listing agent periodically to discuss price reductions or increases in sales incentives.

FULL OWNER PARTICIPATION

As an Owner, you can increase the likelihood of a sale by fully participating in the marketing and sale of your home: Assist in the Marketing of Your Home – Provide Timely Information. Verify Listing Information. Assist the Listing Agent to Identify Home Features and Neighborhood Amenities that Caused You to Purchase the Home in the First Place. Property Condition – Keep the Property in GoodRepair and in Showing Ready Condition. Availability for Showing – Make It Easy to Show Using Supra and Open Showing Times. Price and Negotiating Offers – Use Objective Criteria for Setting the Price. Avoid Emotional Decisions. Base Pricing on Objective Market Data (Not What You Paid, What Sold 2 Years Ago, or What You Need to Payoff the Mortgage) Incentives – Use Targeted Incentives such as Repair Credits, Closing Cost Assistance, Agent Bonuses, Home Warranty Plans, etc. to Distinguish Your Property from Competing Properties.

BEYOND THE OWNER’S CONTROL

There is no easy way to sell a home. It requires full owner participation. However, there are certain things that are beyond the owner’s control:

Market Conditions Competing Properties Neighborhood Conditions Interest Rates

COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS

Pricing Your Home to Sell

WHAT IS A CMA? IT ISN’T AN APPRAISAL.

A comparative market analysis is similar to an appraisal insofar as it uses comparable sales to indicate an appropriate range of value. However, it isn't an appraisal and isn't an attempt to measure the “fair market value.”

It is an attempt to analyze past sales, current inventory, and expired and withdrawn listings to determine the optimum price point at which to list your home for sale to insure that your property is listed within the range where it will likely sell in 90 days or less.

COLLECTING DATA ON SUBJECT PROPERTY

Step #1 - Collection of data on the property to be listed for sale.

COLLECTING DATA ON COMPARABLE SALES

Step #2 - Collection of data on recent sales of homes that are comparable to the property to be listed, have sold in the past 30-60 days, and are in close geographical property to the property. After the sales data is collected, we then analyze the sales and make adjustment to the sales prices of the comparable sales to account for differences in the homes. We then arrive at a range of value for the property.

COLLECTING DATA ON CURRENT LISTINGS

Step #3 - Collection of data on pending listings. We then analyze the amount of inventory and assess the other properties to narrow the price range to maximize your listing price in relation to the other properties currently listed for sale.

COLLECTING DATA ON EXPIRED LISTINGS

Step #4 - Collection of data on expired, cancelled and withdrawn listings. We believe that this is the strongest factor to determine at what price point your property should be listed for sale. This information is analyzed to determine what price points for similar properties have been unable to achieve sufficient traffic or interest to result in a sale.

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIFFERENCES

After collecting the data, we then make adjustments based on the following factors:

Location Condition Date of Sale Square Footage # Bedrooms/# Baths Parking Other Factors

RECONCILING VALUES – ESTABLISHING A VALUE RANGE

After we have reviewed the comparable sales and made adjustments, we then create a range of value. After we have established the range, we then review the current listings and the expired listings to further refine the range and to suggest an appropriate list price.

REVIEW CURRENT LISTINGS AND EXPIRED LISTINGS TO DETERMINE “WHAT WILL SELL”

Current Listings – The Competition Expired Listings – What Didn’t Sell

This is the major difference between an appraisal and a comparative market analysis. Whereas an appraisal focuses on “what sold” to determine the “fair market value”, the comparative market analysis focuses on “what is our competition” and “what didn’t sell” to determine the “optimum price point” to sell a home within 90 days.

INTELLIGENT PRICING – WHY DOES IT MATTER?

In any market, people buy based on perceptions of value. As shown in the illustration to the left, competitively priced homes will attract a higher percentage of prospective buyers. A home priced at or below market value will attract the greatest percentage of prospective buyers. An overpriced home will result in less traffic and will be less likely to sell.

PRICE REDUCTIONS - WHY SHOOTING HIGH AND THEN REDUCING THE LIST PRICE IS A BAD IDEA?

Timing is extremely important in the sale of real estate. A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed. Although we are willing to list a property for sale at a price above our opinion as to the optimum price point, the simple fact is that poorly priced homes rarely sell in 90 days. As shown in the graph, the optimum time to sell is between week 2 and week 4. Poorly priced properties miss this “sweet spot” and tend to languish with little or no showings and eventually expire, are cancelled or are withdrawn.

THE MARKETING PLAN

Internet Marketing

CHANGING SEARCH DYNAMICS – UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET ON MARKETING & SALE OF REAL ESTATE 70% of purchasers used the internet as a part of their

home search (up from 28% in 2000). 86% of purchasers using the internet searched the

internet prior to looking for a specific home. 14% of purchasers using the internet searched the

internet prior to contacting a real estate agent. Purchasers using the internet as a part of their home

search spent an average 4.8 weeks doing research on their new home purchase. Traditional purchasers spent only 1.7 weeks performing research.

Purchasers using the internet as a part of their home search bought a home after 2.2 weeks of working with an agent. Traditional purchasers spent an average 7.1 weeks of working with an agent prior to purchasing a home.

CHANGING SEARCH DYNAMICS – UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF THE INTERNET ON MARKETING & SALE OF REAL ESTATE

Purchasers using the internet as a part of their home search previewed an average of 6.7 homes using the internet to eliminate homes that they didn't want to see. Traditional purchasers previewed 15.4 homes prior to purchasing their new home.

The distance between current residence and new residence was 25 miles for traditional purchasers and 242 miles for purchasers using the internet.

69% of purchasers using the internet as part of their home search said response time was "extremely important."

83% of purchasers using the internet as part of their home search said the favored method of communication with their agent.

91% of purchasers using the internet as part of their home search stated that their primary reason for satisfaction with their agent was "quick response time" compared to 35% of traditional purchasers who stated that there primary complaint was the need for "faster response time."

CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STATISTICAL STUDIES

Internet purchasers have developed clear housing search criteria, have used the internet to exclude properties from consideration, and are more prepared to buy when they visit your properties.

Internet purchasers have a shorter buying cycle. Internet purchasers demand faster, more immediate responses. Agents who embrace technological change are more highly

regarded and more likely to obtain repeat business and referrals. Agents who focus on internet market expand the scope of their

market from a 25 mile radius to over 250 miles. Marketing budgets that focus on printed brochures, newspaper

and other traditional media should be reconsidered and redirected to internet marketing.

TESTIMONIALS

The Word on the Street

STAFF TESTIMONIALS

In 2009, I had the pleasure to announce that Ms. Silies was named by the principals of PREA Signature Realty as the managing member and broker for the brokerage. Here are just a few of the reasons why she is an excellent salesperson and will be great broker: * Knowledge and Experience: Ms. Silies isn't your typical real estate broker or salesperson. As a licensed attorney and broker, she has extensive experience in the legal, title insurance and real estate development professions. As a result, she is able to identify and anticipate issues and to offer solutions to problems and prevent potential problems. When you combine her problem solving abilities with her attention to detail, you get a stress and problem free sale and closing. * Commitment to the Customer: Ms. Silies is committed to her customers. She doesn't just sell homes. She also acts as an advocate for the customer and is willing to share her insights and experience. Her customer-centric approach is simple - she fully participates in the sales process and strives to add value to each step of the transaction. As a part of this approach, she educates and informs the customer regarding the sales process, market conditions, etc. There simply are no surprises. * Goal-Driven and Result-Oriented: In 2007 and 2008, Ms. Silies was the top sales producer for Gilded Age Sales and PREA Signature Realty in terms of closed sides and dollar volume. Ms. Silies' success is no surprise to those who work with her. She is detail-oriented and sets ambitious goals. She develops a plan and then quietly goes to work to implement the plan. In the end, she is results-oriented and her approach can be summarized by the phrase "underpromise and overdeliver." I look forward to a long association with Ms. Silies and a very successful 2009 sales year.

Ryan Shaughnessy, Realtor - March 15, 2009

STAFF TESTIMONIALS

I have had the pleasure to work with Ryan for the past year and continue to be impressed with his ability to take a concept from the ground up and master it. Ryan is well-read and has a keen sense of history which allows him to make decisions that are well thought out. Ryan does not shy away from his responsibilities; when he undertakes a cause, you can count on Ryan to do his research and be well prepared and informed. Ryan sees the big picture and understands the benefit of his staff learning on their own. However, Ryan will hold you accountable when there is not proper follow through, because in seeing the bigger picture, Ryan recognizes that when his staff improves their skills, it is a win/win for everyone. For anyone who is just getting their start in Real Estate, Ryan is the perfect mentor as he is aware of all aspects of the business and is tech savvy; combinations that are not often found today. I would highly recommend Ryan.

STAFF TESTIMONIALS

More than just a tech savvy broker, Ryan's knowledge of real estate is vast and he was always willing to take the time to teach. His Irish charm is an asset which he used to convince me to come off the bench and reenter the game after a number of years on the sideline of retirement. I appreciate that effort because I am enjoying this reinvention of myself into real estate.

Michael Gratz, Realtor - March 14, 2009

REALTOR TESTIMONIALS

Michelle is a sales professional in the true sense of the word. One of my clients desired to own a loft in a complex that Michelle represented. Each time we were viewing the property she was more than gracious to accommodate any requests we had for additional information and she made the entire process flow very smoothly. I can tell you for sure her word is her bond and she is a hard working and honest agent, she has made me a raving fan.

Paul Richard, Realtor - February 28, 2009

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Ryan was extremely helpful in my acquisition of a large commercial building and dividing it into business condominiums. He made it possible for me to accomplish this task painlessly by providing excellent and timely information.

Cathy Boyer, Builder/Developer - March 16, 2009


I had to pleasure to first meet Michelle while I was shopping for a new home in St. Louis. Her sales presentation was informative, not embellished; clear, not contrived; her level of professionalism and knowledge of the product far surpassed other developer sales representatives that we had the opportunity to meet in the Greater St. Louis Area. While she was the seller’s representative, Michelle’s informed and trusting presentation style allowed us to feel comfortable about the choice of a new home; Michelle was our advocate! Michelle has the ability to mediate issues that results in a win/win for all parties involved. Michelle is the consummate professional. Dedication, honesty and integrity are just a few of her many attributes. Her encouragement and professionalism is what spearheaded me in to a career in Real Estate. As your agent, Michelle will provide you with detailed information that will allow you to make a sound decision on your purchase. I could not recommend anyone more than Michelle Silies.

Chris MacLellan, Realtor - January 18, 2009


Thank you, Ryan. I knew we were kindred souls. You always look to the next big thing and how to create success by considering other, new perspectives on the status quo. You are smart, analytical and a man of action. It's a rare combination. I truly enjoyed working with you.

Yvonne Sparks – Executive Director - February 1, 2009
