GOAL = SOLD:

Let's remember for a moment our overall goal!!  The goal is to get the home sold!  Before we can get the home sold, what has to happen?  We have to sign a contract!  Before we can sign a contract what must we receiver?  We must receive an offer!  Before we receive an offer what do we need to generate?  We need to generate showings!  And, in order to generate showings what must we set?  A marketable price!

Now, let's talk about what we have control over!  You see, getting the home sold is just the result of an accepted contract.  An accepted contract is the is the result of an offer.  An offer is the result of showings.  And showings are just the result of a marketable price!

Win/Win Relationship!

As your Consultant I believe it is vital that I be in the business of not only satisfying but, exceeding your needs and expectations.  Therefore, we both walk away from the experience satisfied and you become a "FAN".  Someone who will be happy to refer me to their friends, family and work associates.

Win/Lose Relationship!

Agents generate more business through getting your listings however, you do not have your wants and needs satisfactorily filled.

Determine Value! (Comparative Market Analysis)

• What you paid?

            The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay in today's market based on comparing your property to others SOLD in your area.

• What you need?

            As your consultant I will work with you to uncover & satisfy your needs, wants & expectations.  But you must realize your need for a certain amount of money at the close of escrow does not determine the Market Value of your home.

• What you want?

            Ask questions, listen & review a current market analysis of recently SOLD, ACTIVE & EXPIRED listings to determine the current Market Value of your home & determine a plan of action to meet all your wants, but again realize no buyer is going to pay more for a home than the current market value.

• What your neighbor says?

            Is not relevant to the current market value.

• What other Real Estate Associates say?

            Some agents will tell you what you want to hear to secure the listing, then work on you later for price and considerations.

• Cost to rebuild today?

            All things can not be equal comparing an existing home to a new build.  Therefore, the comparison is not valid in a current market evaluation.

The Importance of Intelligent Pricing

Asking price                            Percentage of buyers

+15%                                            10%                          

+10%                                              30%

-10%                                                            75%           

-15%                                                                 90%      

As the triangle graph above illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value.  The percentage increases even further when the price drops below market value.  Therefore, if you price your property at market value, you are exposing it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your chances for a sale.

Selling Price vs. Timing

Timing is extremely important in the real estate market.  The above graph illustrates the importance of placing your property on the market at a realistic price and terms from the very beginning.  A property attracts the most excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed; therefore, it has the highest chance of a sale when it is new on the market.

Home Seller Tips Making a Contingent Offer You weren't planning to sell your home and move right away - just starting to think about it. Then, Sunday afternoon you went for a drive to look at a few open houses. And there it was, your perfect dream house, new on the market and in your budget! Now what do you do? Here are some suggestions: - Call your real estate agent right away so you get professional advice and representation in what is almost certain to be a complex transaction. - If you're not already pre-approved for a mortgage, contact a mortgage broker or bank first thing Monday morning (ask your agent for a referral). - You may consider making a "contingent" offer on the new home. This means that your purchase of the new home is contingent on the sale of your old home. - If a contingent offer won't work, consider a "bridge loan," a temporary financing package that allows you to buy the new home while waiting for your current home to sell and close. - Finally, buying or selling a home is stressful under the best of circumstances. Ask yourself and your family, is this new home so perfect that it’s worth the extra stress of compressing two transactions into one? If so, go for it! If you have other questions about contingent offers or other complex transactions, the agent listed here would be happy to help.   In a contingent offer, don't get your heart set on your new home. Instead, focus on preparing your current home for a fast sale. In a busy market, sellers rarely accept contingent offers.

Key Market Factors

How long does it take to sell a home?

There is no easy answer - some homes sell in a few days, others may take several months.  Recognizing the key factors influencing a sale can give you significant control over market time.

The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale:

LOCATION...

	REPUTATION...    Committed to making your experience with us one that you would be happy to share with family, friends and associates in the years to come.
	PROFESSIONALISM...      Our associates are all highly professional and well trained.
	EXPERIENCE...    Our personalized service and record of excellence over the years have established a reputation of trust and fairness, which many of our clients have come to depend upon again and again.
	COMPUTERIZED MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE...        This is to give the seller the widest exposure via computer-terminal technology.  In addition to our associates, your property will be exposed to over 14,000 participating members.  The use of Multiple List Services is optional - but is a very important part of my marketing campaign for your home.
	INTERNET BASED ADVERTISING & VIRTUAL TOURS...    With your approval I will have a Virtual Tour taken of your home, this will allow potential buyers to view your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the world wide web.  Your home will also be featured on:  www.peggywrighthomes.com and www.TheHomeReport.net.
	MARKET ANALYSIS...    We will determine the realistic value of your Home in two ways:  (1)  An opinion by our qualified and knowledgeable associate who lists, shows and sells property in your neighborhood, and  (2)  A written summary and analysis of recent homes sold, homes presently on the market and those for some reason rejected by the market during the listing period.
	ADVERTISING...    We are very competitive in marketing your Home to not only our industry, but also the readership in an area who is searching for a Home.
	Location is the single greatest factor affecting value.
	Neighborhood desirability is fundamental to a property's fair market value.

        COMPETITION...

• Buyers compare your property against competing properties.

• Buyers interpret value based on available properties.

        TIMING...

• The real estate market may reflect a seller's market or a buyer's market.

• Market conditions cannot be manipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan must be developed accordingly.   

        CONDITION...

• Property condition affects price and speed of sale.

• Optimizing physical appearances and advance preparation for marketing maximizes value.

        TERMS...

• The more flexible the financing, the broader the market, the quicker the sale, and the higher the price.

• Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.       

        PRICE...

SELLER'S PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (SPDS)

Message to the Seller:

Sellers are obligated by law to disclose all known material facts about the property to the Buyer.  The SPDS is designed to assist you in making this disclosure.  If you know something important about the property that is not addressed on the SPDS, add that information to the form.  Prospective Buyers may rely on the information you provide in deciding whether and on what terms to buy the property.  If you don't know the answer to a question, mark "unknown".

Message to the Buyer:

The information contained in the SPDS is a disclosure of the Seller's actual knowledge of the property and not a representation of every possible defect nor a warranty of any kind.  You should confirm any information you consider material to your purchase and consider obtaining a professional home inspection, which may reveal information about the property that even the Seller did not know.

It is important to NOTE: 

The SPDS are representations of the Seller(s) and are not the representations of the agent(s), if any, this information is a disclosure and is not intended to be part of any contract between the buyer and seller.

Home Warranties Can Aid Buyer and Seller

Many home purchasers erroneously assume that the Seller is always somehow liable when there is a defect or failure found in the home's cooling, heating, plumbing, electrical and/or appliances after the Close Of Escrow and the Buyers move in.  Unless otherwise provided for in the contract however, risk of loss often falls on the Buyer.  Even where the contract provides that heating, plumbing, pool & equipment, electrical, etc. be "operative" on or until date of possession, disputes can always arise as to when the breakdown occurred, who is responsible, how the repairs are to be funded, and when they are to be made.

 Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate these risks and concerns.  For a modest price, Sellers can provide to Buyers a one year warranty covering, specified heating, plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.  Coverage under most plans commences at closing (although some can be made to commence during the listing period as well).  In all cases, there are important limitations and exclusions (example:  appliances/systems must be operative at commencement of coverage).  All warranties have co-pays and different prices for the covered items.  For one such home warranty company click here for more information:  Old Republic Home Warranty or call (800) 445-6999 Yvette to order your Home Warranty today!

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE

A few great tips on creating an atmosphere that will charm buyers and make them want to buy your home.  Remember that you'll

never get another chance to make a first impression.  And first impressions are what count!  Follow these simple tips and create the competitive edge that may help you sell your home more quickly.

Drive-up Appeal....

• Trim trees and shrubs, clean out flower beds and invest in a few flats of seasonal flowers, paint the front door, make sure doorbell is working properly, wash the mailbox, keep the porch swept and get an attractive mat for people to wipe their feet on.

Absolute Basics....

• Start by airing out the home.  Most people are turned off by even the smallest odor.  Odors must be eliminated, especially those caused by dogs and cats, soiled diapers and/or cigarettes.

• Wash all the windows in the home, inside and out.

• If it has been over a year since the carpets have been cleaned, now is the time to have them cleaned.  Bare floors should also be waxed or polished.

• Put bright light bulbs in every socket made for a bulb.  Buyers like bright & cheery.

• Clean out closets, cabinets and drawers.  Closets should look like they have enough room to hold additional items.  Get everything off the floor and don't have the shelves piled to the ceiling.

• Make sure rooms are not overcrowded with furniture.  Select pieces that look best, and store the rest.

• Keep the kitchen sparkling clean.  Make sure all appliances are clean at all times.  Straighten cupboards that appear cluttered and keep floors gleaming.

• Bathtubs, showers and sinks should be freshly caulked.  The grout should be clean and in good condition.  There should be no leaks in the faucets or traps.

A few more suggestions....

• If you have limited counter space in the kitchen, keep unnecessary items put away.

• Keep children's toys out of the front yard, sidewalks and front porch.

• Clean the ashes out of the fireplace.

• Make sure that the pull-down staircase is working correctly.  Be sure there is a light in the attic.

• The pool needs to be sparkling and free of leaves.

For those willing to go the extra mile....

• There are some things you can do that will really add flair to your home.  If your house is the least bit dated, changing out wallpaper in the entry, kitchen or bathrooms and replacing outdated light fixtures adds desirability.

• Fresh paint on interior and/or exterior where needed.

• New appliances in the kitchen can be an exciting feature that can actually make the difference in a buyer choosing your home over another.

Showing your home....

• When you leave the house in the morning or during the day, leave it as if you know it is going to be shown.

• Keep good scents in the house, such as potpourri or simmering pots or candles.

• Make sure all the lights are on and the window treatments are open.

• Turn off the television.

• Keep pets out of the way - preferable out of the house.  Many people are uncomfortable around some animals and may even be allergic to them.

• Leave your premises.  Take a short break while your home is being shown.  Buyers are intimidated when sellers are present and tend to hurry through the house.

Which Improvements Add Value to your home?

• What follows are "best estimates" for the most typically consistent remodeling projects I have seen across the country.  Unless otherwise noted, the maximum time between remodeling and re-sale must be five years; otherwise the "value-added" figures are void.

TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME

When I get ready to place your home on the market, we will go through your house together.  In the meantime, here are some “handy hints” for you to think about. If you follow the guidelines below, you will have an advantage over the competition already on the market. It is very important that a home “shows” well, and here are some ideas to help make that happen:

 INSIDE:

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

       objects on the furniture to a minimum.

   2.  Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn't been used for

        several months, put it away!  Clear the refrigerator front of messages, pictures, etc.

        If  the kitchen is clear, the prospective buyer  will mentally begin to move their own

        things into your kitchen!

   3.  In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from countertops, tubs, shower stalls

       and commode tops. Keep only your most needed cosmetics, brushes, perfumes,

       etc. in one small group on the counter.  Coordinating towels are a nice touch.

   4.  Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if the room seems full. When it comes to

       selling, we need to make the rooms appear larger by having a balanced amount of

       furniture in them.

   5.  Take down or rearrange certain pictures or objects on the walls. Patch and paint if

        necessary.

   6.  Review the house inside room by room:

       (1)  Paint any room needing attention.

       (2)  Clean carpets or drapes if necessary.

       (3)  Clean windows.

   7.  During  “showings”,  turn on all lights and lamps and open all window coverings.

       It is important to make your home as light and bright as possible.

   8.  Have your FM stereo on during the day playing  soft music for all showings.

   9.  Have a lockbox on the property. Many agents will not take the time to show a

       property that does not have a lockbox.

OUTSIDE:

 1.  Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded wood

      scraps, extra building materials, etc. into the garage.

 2.  Check gutters and/or roof for dry rot.  Make sure gutters are free of debris.

 3.  Inspect all plants; prune bushes and trees.  Keep plants from blocking windows.

 4.  Weed all planting areas.  Keep your lawn freshly cut.  Remove any dead plants

     or shrubs.

 5.  Clear patios or decks of all small items, such as small planters, flower pots, charcoal,

     barbecues, toys, etc. (Put them in the garage).

 6.  Check the paint condition of the house, especially the front door and trim. “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

or been there before.  Any time or money spent on the above items will bring you

more money in return, and hopefully result in a faster sale.

 Working together, we will make a great team!!

Presentation of Offers

When an offer is generated on your home I will do the following:

1. Present the offer to you personally.

2. Have the cooperating broker share buyer qualifications.

3. Go over every item in the contract with you so that you thoroughly understand what the buyers are offering and what they are asking for.

4. Discuss all offers with you in private, after listening to the other agent.

Give you as much input as I possibly can regarding:

1. Current market and finance activity.

2. Other sales to date.

3. Competition.

4. Broker comments.

During the selling process, I will:

• Establish and explain guidelines prior to presentation.

• Review the contract with you.

• Ensure that all parties in all transactions are treated fairly and with honest consideration.

• Make certain there is compliance with disclosure laws and ordinances.

You should be aware of what Peggy Wright does after the contract is signed:

• Open Title.

• Have Closing Papers drawn before closing so that if any problems arise, we can solve them.

• Coordinate the closing and move-in dates so that they are as convenient to both parties as possible.

Before the Inspection;  Tips for Sellers

By Woody Livingston

  Congratulations!  Your agent called with a buyer for your house!  Shortly after you accept their offer, the buyer will usually hire a professional Home Inspector.  The inspector won’t care if your drapes match the carpet or if a breakfast bowl is left in the sink.  He’s interested in structure and systems, not cosmetics.  A little preparation in advance of the inspection can help the inspector give your buyer a report that answers their questions’ and thereby reinforces their decision to buy your home.

  I often introduce myself as one of the nosiest visitors you’ll ever have.  A qualified home inspector will visually examine the structure, crawl space, attic, mechanical components, plumbing, electrical, and all interior rooms, as well as closets.  I need to flush toilets, run faucets, dishwashers, and air conditioners.  I look under bathroom sinks!  A visual inspection report does not pass or fail a house, but simply describes the house and points of good features as well as items in need of repair or replacement.

  You can help by having keys available to any locked doors or gates (don’t forget the lock on the electrical panel), removing obstacles around water heaters and other appliances, removing items from closets that provide access to attics, and so on.  Be ready to indicate the location of components that may be concealed by landscape vegetation such as the water meter, main sewer cleanout, etc. 

  Eliminate limitations on the inspection by clearing stored items or debris away from the house, making certain the entire perimeter of the house can be observed.  Don’t forget the inspector will need access to the detached garage or guest house.  Move boxes and stored items away from interior walls.  Items stored in the attic should be removed or a least cleared away to allow safe access.

  Inside, move fragile items away from windows.  Take pets to a friend or neighbor or lock them in a kennel.

  The Home Inspector may be one of the nosiest houseguests you’ll ever have, but a little advance work will make the inspection experience more pleasant for all concerned and more informative for your buyer.

Remember to request a Certified Home Inspector
