Staging TipsWhen showing your property, you only get one chance to make a good impression. Here are some suggestions to increase the desirability of your property to potential buyers, and help you sell at the best price, in the least amount of time. Curb Appeal Is Essential - A buyer’s first impression is formed by viewing the outside of your property. Trim plants and trees, weed your

front back and side yards, use leaf blowers to remove leaves, pods, plant debris. Inspect the exterior of your property, including shutters and windows. Steel or aluminum siding should be clean. If the house needs painting, buyers will notice, and may consider it a major objection to purchasing your property.

Pay close attention to the front door – it should sparkle. Polish the doorknob, clean the glass and replace worn screens. Neatness Counts – A sparkling clean home greatly enhances its appeal to buyers. Scrub each room from top to bottom covering every

nook and cranny. The entryway, kitchen and bathrooms are key areas, and should be given special attention. Shampoo the carpeting if it hasn’t been done recently. If your carpet is old or matted it will be a detriment to selling the property. Consider replacing it or removing it if there is hardwood underneath.

Eliminate Clutter – Closets, cupboards and other storage areas should be neat and uncluttered. Box everything you do not use regularly and donate it, sell it, throw it away or store it. Look at each room in the house with “less is best” as your objective. Remove unneeded furniture to make each room appear more spacious. Kitchen counter-tops should be clear of everything except what you use daily.

If it’s Broken, Fix it – Repairs such as loose door knob, broken dishwasher, dripping faucet and squeaky or sticking doors all detract from a property’s value. An afternoon spent making needed repairs now can eliminate buyers’ objections later. Hire a professional, if needed.

Small Additions Make a Big Impression – With minimal expense, you can improve the appearance of any room. Consider replacing worn area rugs and throw pillows. New towels can freshen a tired kitchen or bath. Flowers add warmth and charm to any location. Identify the things you can do to make areas more pleasing to a buyer.

It’s a Team Effort – Enlist the help of all household members to get the house ready – and keep it ready – for prospective buyers. A few minutes spent tidying up each morning can make the difference for a showing in the afternoon!

I can help you stage your home for sale.

For Sale By Owner?SELLING YOUR HOME ON YOUR OWN MAY BE HARDER THAN YOU THINK! Here are some points to consider: You may place the security of your home and yourself at risk. Ads and “For Sale by Owner” signs tend to invite just anyone to

inspect your house. You have very little control and no opportunity to pre-screen potential buyers.

You may not know the marketplace well enough to establish the best price for your home. If it is too high, you may lose buyers. If you ask too little, you stand to lose a great deal of money.

Coordination of arrangements and the paperwork involved with a home sale requires many hours, especially if you are not well versed in real estate and the law. You also stand a chance of making costly mistakes.

You may have limited advertising resources. Along with the placement advantages we receive from frequent newspaper advertising, we attract buyers through the Multiple Listing Service, LongRealty.com, and numerous referral opportunities.

Without good advertising and professional help, your home may be on the market for too long to get top dollar. That makes it harder to sell even if you do ultimately decide to list it with a Realtor. People may think it hasn’t sold because there is a problem.

Buyers often need assistance with financing. That’s a job best left to a trained professional.

Unless you are skilled in the art of compromise, you may not be able to effectively close your sale. The “give and take” aspects of the sale of a home must be skillfully negotiated before a transaction is successfully completed.

Believe it or not, buyers don’t like to deal directly with home sellers. They aren’t comfortable asking questions or pointing out discrepancies since insult or confrontation may result. Dealing with a REALTOR® gives them confidence and reassurance.

FSBOs typically have a lower median selling price, though FSBOs typically received 97% of their asking price whereas agent-assisted sales typically received 95% of their asking price. Don’t take chances with your most valuable asset.

Guided by our local market expertise, you’ll be able to make that decision with confidence.Properties Priced Right: Increase showings Bring more interested buyers Creates ease in the appraisal process Keeps the prime market momentum – the first 30 days Sends a message to buyers about your motivation to sellOver-Priced Properties: Help sell the competition Reduce showings Lose buyers unwilling to negotiate Can cause appraisal problems Lose the prime market momentum – the first 30 days Send a message to your buyers about your motivation Net the seller less

It is important to remember that the value of your home is ultimately not set by you, but rather by the amount of money a buyer is willing to pay for it at any given time.

Armed with the latest market knowledge I can help guide you through an effective pricing strategy.

Page 45: SellersPresentation_Feb2015

Pricing StrategyPricing your property properly when first listed can help you get a higher percentage of your list price and sell it in half the time. The majority of showings occur when a house is first placed on the market. If you price too high when you put it on the market, you run the risk of incurring higher holding costs and ultimately getting less for your property.

Capitalize on early buyer activity by having your home priced right from the beginning.

Data obtained from TARMLS using Brokermetrics software. Based on residential closed sales activity in July 2013

This data shows that home priced right from the beginning sell faster and for a higher percentage of list price than those that end up doing price reductions.

Page 46: SellersPresentation_Feb2015

Pricing Your Property to Move

Pricing it right from the start willgive your property maximum exposure.

Your property will generate the most attention and showings in the first weeks it’s on the market. For best results, you should list it at a realistic price right from the beginning. If your price is too high relative to the competition, the right buyers will not even look at an otherwise attractive property - particularly during the critical state of initial market exposure.
