Sellers Agenda

I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and learn more about your goals. It is my job to educate you about the market and help you to establish a competitive position that will create a favorable response from today’s buyers.

Please know that my mission is to get you where you want to go on time! This booklet is for your review. I will pick it up when we meet. It has some disclosure forms that you can review and fill out along with information about me and our service. This prelisting presentation is designed to help you better understand me, my company and the process of marketing and selling your home. Reviewing this information, in advance, will help you to know what questions to ask and what needs to be clarified when I arrive.

Our appointment should be about 1 hour, during which time we should accomplish the following:

• Tour your home to discover the most marketable features• Review your needs, goals and any concerns you may have• Discuss current market conditions and how they may affect you• Discuss traditional marketing as well as my unique strategies to reach

today’s buyers• Answer any questions you have about hiring me to represent you in the sale of your home

If this time frame does not work for you, or if you have other thoughts on the agenda, please let me know so that I may customize this appointment to meet your needs...

For Buying, For Selling, For Families

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, my goal is the same: making your, and your family’s, real estate experience a positive one.

In today’s world, understanding the market as well as keen negotiating skills are critical. My experience as a financial manager for a major corporation for 20 years gives me the tools to help my clients navigate the maze of real estate contracts in a manner that results in a “win situation”. Said another way, I try to help my clients “make the best deal”, whether they are buyers or sellers.

My experience as a School Board Representative for St. Johns County for 8 years can also be extremely beneficial for families attempting to understand the public school system within St. Johns or Duval counties, particularly if there are special needs involved.

If it is finding the right house, at the right price for you and your family, or if it is selling your home for the best price -- let me put my experience as a:

•successful real estate professional for 10 years•successful corporate financial manager for 20 years•successful public official for 8 years

to work for you and your real estate needs.

The Road To Getting Your Home On The MarketStep 1: Home Staging

First Impressions are everything and you only get one chance to make a good one! Have you noticed that brand new homes seem to sell no matter the market? That’s because builders create beautiful model homes with strong visual and emotional appeal. Buyers are drawn to these fresh, well-decorated and well-maintained homes. The goal is to present your home at its very best in order to sell quickly and for the highest price. (See the Guide to Home Staging for more information)

Step 2: Schedule Photography

Remember, the first “showing” of your home will likely be on-line so photographs mean everything! The National Association of Realtors stated in a 2010 study that 84% of homebuyers said that photos and detailed property descriptions are the most important feature when searching for homes on-line. Everyday buyers make decisions about which homes to see and - which to skip – If you can’t get them in the house then you can’t sell the house… In this case, pictures are worth a lot more than a thousand words – (think dollars!)

Step 3: Confirm Homeowners Association Information

Step 4: Research Covenants & Restrictions

Step 5: Coordinate Showing Instructions

Step 6: Test Key on Door and Place Lockbox

Step 7: Place Sign in Yard

Step 8: Enter Listing into Multiple Listings System (MLS)

Confirm geo-tag for address mapping

Confirm all details and features (over 100 fields)

Create description that sells

Confirm tax records and attach to listing

Confirm directions to property

Upload documents – HOA Disclosure, Survey, Floorplan, Sellers Disclosure, Covenants & Restrictions, Special Features Sheet (if needed)

Step 9: Edit and Upload Professional Photos

Step 10: Syndicate Listing to Over 500 Websites

Five Critical Elements Of A Sale

AskingPrice

Property Location

Property Condition

Market Condition

Contract Terms

This is the number one factor in the sale of your home. Our sales and marketing program provide exposure to a large segment of potential buyers. The actual market value is then determined by what a buyer is willing to pay.

The second most important factor in the buyer’s mind is location. The proximity to area amenities and schools is typically a concern. In addition, street traffic, proximity to expressways and public transportation are considerations.

Buyers look at the structural and mechanical integrity as well as the upkeep and cosmetic appeal of a property. Neutral décor, including floor and wall covering, appliances and fixtures offer the broadest appeal to potential buyers.

Interest rates, competition from other properties, the economy and consumer confidence all influence the sale of your home. Each of these factors is beyond our control, so, we must respond to these conditions with the appropriate marketing and price considerations.

The terms of a sale can make or break the contract. House sale contingencies, closing dates, and exclusions of accessories or fixtures should always be handled clearly up front in order to avoid any confusion that could affect the sale.

Get Ready To Show...Before you show your home to any potential buyer be sure to go through your entire house with your agent to finish the staging process. Meanwhile, here are some quick tips to help you start. Follow these general tips and your home will look better than the completion. Staged Homes sell faster and /or for more money!

INSIDE• Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative

objects on the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3 or 5 items. In general, a sparsely decorated home helps the buyer mentally “move in” with their own things.

• Rearrange or remove some of the furniture in your home, if necessary. Many times home owners have too much furniture in a room. When it comes to selling your home, thin out overcrowded rooms to make the rooms appear larger.

• Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn’t been used for three months...put it away! Clear refrigerator of messages, magnets, pictures, etc.

• In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from the countertops, tub, shower stall and commode top. Keep only the most necessary cosmetics, brushes, perfumes, etc., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels in one or two colors only.

• Take down, reduce, or rearrange pictures and objects on walls. Patch and paint all walls, if necessary.

• Review the house interior, room by room, and1. Paint any room needing paint.2. Clean carpet and draperies that need it.3. Clean windows.

• If you need room to store extra possessions use the garage or rent a storage unit.• Leave on certain lights during the day (your agent will show you which ones). During

showings turn on ALL lights and lamps.

Judy Ham

Get Ready To Go...

OUTSIDE• Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded

wood scraps, extra building materials, etc., to the garage or, if applicable, take them to the dump.

• Check gutters and roof for dry rot and moss. Make sure they are swept and cleaned.

• Look at all plants. Plants are like children...they grow so fast. Prune bushes and trees. Keep plants from blocking windows: “You can’t sell a house if you can’t see it.”

• Remove any dead plants, weed all planting areas and put down fresh mulching material.

• Keep your lawn freshly cut, edged and fertilized during the growing season.• Clear patios or decks of all small items, such as little planters, flower pots,

charcoal, BBQ, toys, etc. • Check the condition of the paint on your home, especially the trim and the front

door. The first impression, or “curb appeal” is very important.

IN GENERAL Try to look at your house “through the buyer’s eyes,” as though you’ve never seen it before. This exercise will help you see what needs to be done. Any time and money invested on these items will usually bring you the return of more money and a quicker sale.
