Market Analysis ExplanationThis is an explanation and overview of this market analysis.

This Comparative Market Analysis will help to determine the correct selling price of your home. Ultimately, the correct selling price is the highest possible price the market will bear.

This market analysis is divided into two categories:

1. Comparable homes that are currently for sale2. Comparable homes that were recently sold

Looking at similar homes that are currently offered for sale, we can assess the alternatives that a serious buyer has from which to choose. We can also be sure that we are not under pricing your home.

Looking at similar homes that were sold in the past few months, we can see a clear picture of how the market has valued homes that are comparable to yours. Banks and other lending institutions also analyze these sales to determine how much they can lend to qualified buyers.

This Comparative Market Analysis has been carefully prepared for you, analyzing homes similar to yours. The aim of this market analysis is to achieve the maximum selling price for your home, while being able to sell your home within a relatively short period of time.

to achieve the best-possible return and the buyer’s

need to get good value. With many years of

experience, a professional Real Estate Agent can help

you set a price that will accomplish both objectives.

Establishing market value

The market value of your property is determined in

exactly the same way as any other commodity – what

a buyer is willing to pay for it in today’s market.

Despite the price you paid originally, or the value of

any improvements you may have made, the value is

determined by market forces.

Look at the competition

Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average

before making an offer on a property. As a result, they

have a good overview of the market and will compare

your property against the competition. If it’s not in

line with similar properties that are available, buyers

won’t consider it good value for money.

The Pitfalls of OverpricingThis chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.

Overpricing your house in

the belief that you can

reduce the price back later

is a strategy that can

backfire badly. For

example, by the time you

reduce your price, you may

miss out on a surge of

interest in properties like

yours. Also, if prices are

lowered, buyers may

wonder if there’s

something wrong with the

property that kept other

buyers away. So to keep

from selling your property

at below market value and

from wasting valuable

time, don’t fall into the

overpricing trap.

Where a Commission GoesThis page describes how a commission is divided amongst all of the parties involved.

After a successful sale of your property, the real estate commission is shared among all who assisted in this important transaction. Generally, the commission is divided four ways: to the listing broker, the listing agent, the selling broker and the selling agent. In recognition of the important roles each played in the sale of your property, each is compensated by a percentage of the commission.

The Benefits of Using a Professional REALTOR®

This page outlines the benefits of using a professional REALTOR® to sell your property.

You’ll experience a wide variety of benefits when you hire a real estate professional. Successfully selling a property is a complicated exercise, and REALTORS® have the experience, resources and contacts to complete your sale quickly and smoothly.

PricingA REALTOR® will set the selling price of your property at a level that accurately reflects its value in current market conditions and will not cost you missed opportunities.

MarketingA REALTOR® will have many useful suggestions on ways to improve the marketability of your property, including cosmetic repairs and other items that will create a favorable impression among buyers.

Your property will enjoy a wider exposure among buyers when you use a REALTOR®. In addition to using flyers and organizing open house days, a REALTOR’s® extensive contact list of former clients, newly qualified buyers and other industry professionals can significantly reduce the time your property is on the market.

A REALTOR® will also allow you to tap into a highly productive and extensive industry network, such as a Multiple Listing Service® or other industry marketing system.

Advertising your property efficiently is another area where a REALTOR® can play an important role. A REALTOR's® experience in deciding on the most appropriate type and frequency of advertising for your property can be invaluable. For example, placing too many ads can create the impression that there may be something wrong with the property or that the seller is desperate.

SecuritySecurity is a major consideration when showing your home. By using a REALTOR®, you can rest assured that all showings will be pre-screened and supervised.

Negotiating When negotiating a purchase, most buyers prefer to deal with a middleperson who is objective, unemotional and professional. Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a REALTOR® than with the owner when they want to raise issues that need resolving before making an offer.

Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing or SettlingA REALTOR® will guide you through the minefield of potential problems associated with the appraisal, inspection and financing process, including the often complicated escrow instructions. In addition, your agent can meet and instruct any specialists or tradespeople who may be required for repairs or other issues that need to be completed before closing.

Steps to a Positive ShowingThis page describes the key steps to making for a positive showing of your property.

You only get one opportunity to make a good impression, so you want to make it count. By following

these guidelines, you’ll enhance the attractiveness of your property and reduce the time it takes to

generate serious offers.

First ImpressionsHow your property appears from the outside is important.Ø Clean drivewayØ Freshly mown lawnØ Trimmed hedgeØ Look at condition of Windows,

shutters, screen and guttersØ Does the property need painting?Ø Make sure front door and any

windows are spotless including doorknob

Cleanliness CountsOnce inside your property, cleanliness is important. Ø Most important is front hallwayØ Kitchen and the bathrooms. Ø Do a room-by-room cleaningØ out-of-sight The state of the carpets can also be a determining factor, have your carpets cleaned, if they are worn, it’s wise to replace

Less is MoreØ Clutter makes a poor impression. Ø Get rid of, store or donate

unnecessary furniture. Ø Walk through your property and think:

“Less is more.”

RepairsØ Make sure everything is in good

working order. Ø Dripping faucets, squeaky steps and

loose doorknobs etc. Little Things CountØ Improve the appearance of any room.Ø You may want to replace worn rugs or

small pillows.Ø Put new towels in the bathroom or

brighten up a room with a vase of flowers.

Pull TogetherØ Make sure all household members

help tidy up and keep it that way.


March 12, 2015

What it Takes to ShowThis page describes what it takes to show your property.

Scheduling the ShowingØ Coordination is the key.Ø All sales associates from our firm or a

cooperating broker will contact you to schedule an appointment.

Ø You will be notified of the timing, and, if it’s acceptable, the appointment will be confirmed.

Ø If you can’t be reached, the showing will proceed.

TimingØ Ordinarily, you’ll get plenty of notice about

an appointment request.Ø For buyers that want to view ASAP or a

change in schedule, you’ll be given as much notice as possible.

Special InstructionsØ Information on pets, parking, security,

etc. will be listed in your property file.Ø Sales associates wanting to show the

listing will receive a copy of the instructions.

The ShowingØ If you’re not on hand during a showing,

the sales associate will use the property’s lock box to enter. If you’re available, sales associates will introduce themselves and give you a business card.

PrivacyØ Limit the number of people at home. Ø Let the buyer roam freely and discuss the

property with the sales associate without interruption.

Ø A properly briefed sales associate will know the buyer’s needs and will be able to point out the features that meet the requirements.

Contact InformationØ If you’re not available to approve an

appointment request, leave a phone number where you can be contacted so you can be notified immediately about an offer.

PreviewsØ Occasionally, sales associates may

schedule an appointment to view your property without a buyer. By familiarizing themselves with what’s on the market, they will be an excellent position to alert a buyer to a property that fits the bill.

Unscheduled AppointmentsØ Appointment requests must be made first

through your listing agent.Ø Ask any people who show up without an

appointment to contact the listing agent to request a showing. Even if the person identifies himself or herself as a licensed sales associate.

My #1 Goal is to earn your right to be your REALTOR!!


I intend to sell your home for

the maximum price in the

minimum amount of time.

To a certain extent, achieving that goal is a

numbers game. We need to create a richly

detailed, spectacular listing for your home,

and then we need to put it in front of as

many potential buyers as we possibly can.

Did you know that, as of 2013, nine out of

every ten home buyers used the web to

find their new home? This year the

percentage is predicted to increase

even further.

The number of buyers who use the internet

to find their next home is increasing daily.

The traffic to online real estate market-

places is skyrocketing. The power of the

web is growing. And I have been able to

successfully establish myself online so

that I am able to tap in to this steady

stream of real estate shoppers.

Your Listing Will Never Go Unnoticed

Over time, buyers' useof the Internet to

search for homes hasincreased, rising from71% in 2003 to 92% in

2013. Even moreimportantly, 45% ofhome buyers used a

mobile or tablet websiteor application to search

for a home.

The web is now by far the most important advertising medium for real

estate, and that’s becoming truer every day. Fortunately, I’ve

managed to stay ahead of this trend, and have been continuously

working to increase my web presence so that I can push listings to

more places very quickly, putting properties in front of online buyers

very effectively.

I subscribe to Point2 Agent, a web service that connects real estate professionals with one

another and with the most important real estate advertisers on the web. This service allows me to

advertise your listing on my website, on many other local real estate websites, and on over 50 of

the busiest online real estate marketplaces including Trulia, Oodle, Yahoo!, Zillow and many

more.

Thanks to this listing service, and to my numerous contacts, you will see that I belong to a

powerful online network that can make a substantial difference in the exposure your property

receives.

Your Listing Advertised Everywhere

Your Listing’s Own Website

In addition to my company

website, and countless real

estate websites across North

America, your listing can

receive its very own website

and unique domain name

(www.YourHouse.com), that

includes high-resolution

photos, detailed property

Information, and helpful tools

for potential home buyers.

Multiple Search Platforms

Not only will I help your listing

attract attention via “natural

search” sites like Google,

Yahoo! and MSN, I will also

place your listing in real

estate-specific search sites

such as Point2 Homes, Oodle,

Trulia and Zillow. In all, I have

access to over 50 distinct

listing marketplaces where

your listing can be displayed.

Better Information

I add as many high-quality

photographs and as much

richly detailed information to

your listing as possible, so it

will have a significantly better

chance of attracting more

buyers. In fact, 85% of home-

buyers value pictures as the

most important feature of a

listing advertisement .

Your Listing Gets Found Online

2

Better Listings

What’s the big deal? Well, it’s simple – many independent studies show that better listings with

more photos attract more visitors, they keep buyers looking at your home longer, and they

generate more quality buyer leads.

More Photos

I understand the power of quality photographs, and will include as many photos as possible to

help attract attention to your listing.

More Information

Buyers want information. That’s only natural – they’re trying to make an informed decision about a

major purchase. So instead of withholding information about your property, I deliver as much

information as possible. Not only does this make your listing easier to find online, and help

ensure that inquiries about your property are serious ones... it can also attract more attention from

the buyers who find it.

More Personality

No one knows your home better than you do. That’s why, if you’re interested, I am able to set up a

special area of your listing where you can add your own comments. You can even login via your

own password and access statistics on the visitors your listing is attracting.

More Power

My listings always include Google mapping with satellite imagery, virtual tours, and many other

features to showcase your property at the highest level of professionalism and technological

elegance.

More Information to Attract Buyers

Today’s buyers expect lightning-fast responses to their emails and

inquiries, they expect regular updates, and they expect an

impressive, feature-rich website. Not only is my website designed to

attract and engage today’s buyers, it also includes numerous behind-

the-scenes software elements that will help me to sell your home.

My networkMy network is set up to enable buyers to

register their preferences and receive listings

via email. That means that I may already have

dozens of waiting buyers who are looking for

the type of property you are offering. As soon

as I have completed work on your listing, it will

be instantly emailed to these matched buyers.

My softwareMy software automatically places potential

buyers in a communication program so that I

am sure to maintain friendly contact with them,

encouraging more repeat visits to my website

and more repeat viewings of your listing.

My websiteMy website has the ability to send a

notification directly to my cell phone as a text

message if a prospect is interested in your

property and inquiring about it. This means that

I am able to respond with incredible speed to

important potential buyers.

My advantageMy advantage is in the technological tools I

use to present your property as effectively as

possible, and to have it discovered by as many

potential buyers as possible. In modern

markets, having a technological edge can

make a dramatic impact. I have that edge, and

I am looking forward to using it to your

advantage.
