HANDS ON LEADERSHIP Highly creative and energetic entrepreneurs, @properties’ co-founders Michael Golden and Thaddeus Wong have quickly built one of the most recognized brands in Chicago real estate while helping to reshape and modernize the local brokerage industry.

Golden and Wong first teamed up in the mid-1990s. They set sales records and consistently ranked among the top 1 percent of the Chicago Association of REALTORS®’ 12,500 members. At @properties, they paired traditional brokerage services with cutting-edge technology and marketing, and became a driving force behind Chicago real estate.

Together they have created a corporate culture that attracts high-caliber brokers and staff and fosters teamwork and performance. They have also built a large philanthropic network under the umbrella of the @gives back Community Fund.

MARKET WITHIN A MARKET Even before your home is officially listed, @properties brokers market internally to a powerful network of more than 2,000 brokers – each with a broad sphere of influence that forms a rich source of prospects, buyers and referrals. This unique “market within a market” results in the most efficient transaction environment in the marketplace. @AGENT APP Leveraging this “market within a market,” @properties brokers use an internal mobile app that has revolutionized the way we communicate about and transact real estate.

The exclusive @gent App allows our brokers to match homebuyers with homes for sale, including pocket (off-market) listings. A number of @properties listings sell before they hit the broader market because of the exposure through the app alone – a testament to the power of the @properties network.

ADWERX Ever visited a website and then noticed ads for that same website following you around the Internet?

It’s not a coincidence; it’s a sophisticated digital marketing tactic known as retargeting, and it’s another way in which @properties increases online exposure for our listings.

Through our partnership with Adwerx, we leverage retargeting to put your property in front of prospective homebuyers as they surf the Web. Adwerx also uses geo-targeting to display your listing to people in certain locations, and targets users based on Internet browsing behavior such as those perusing real estate-related websites. The platform’s vast network includes hundreds of top websites ranging from Forbes.com to ESPN.com to cater specifically to the clients we serve.

45

PRICING YOUR HOME: CMA So what is your home worth? That is likely the biggest question on your mind and one that @properties has answered accurately in every market since our inception.

The knowledge, experience and research we apply to pricing our clients’ homes consistently produce the shorter market times and higher selling-price-to-listing price ratios.

To set a listing price that will create the best market for your home, we will perform a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. The CMA will evaluate your home alongside other properties – currently listed and recently sold – taking into account variables such as:

46

Supply and demand

Lot size

Market activity

Views

Market time

Condition of property inside and out

Price/status changes, interest rates and availability of credit Economic factors Seasonal demand property features Location Room count and square footage

Desirability of unique features Competition Price Location Market time

47

PRICING YOUR HOME: (MARKET TIME) IS MONEY The surest way to get the highest selling price for your home is to set the listing price, correctly, right out of the gate.

This is so important because the greatest amount of showing activity for a home occurs within the first few weeks of market time, and this early activity tends to be from serious buyers with a greater sense of urgency.

However, as time goes by, interest wanes, and longer than-average market times tend to fuel the perception that the home itself (not just the price of the home) is flawed. Therefore, longer market times can actually drive value down.

Remember, time is money, and the best way to optimize both is to work with your broker in setting an accurate listing price.

48

49

BEFORE YOUR HOME IS SHOWN One of the keys to success in today’s ultra-competitive real estate market is to position your home as the most desirable property at a given price in a given area.

Obviously, the most important variable in that equation is price. But making sure your home is in optimal showing condition will set it apart from the competition and could be the difference between a timely and productive sale or a long, drawn-out process.

Here is a checklist of preparations to make before showing your home. Be sure to consult your @properties broker to find out what improvements they recommend.

50

De-Clutter Go through your home room by room and ask yourself what you can throw away and what you can box up and put in storage.

Organize Lack of storage space can be a deal-breaker. Go through your closets and pantries then reorganize, and throw away, give away or put away anything you don’t need.

Clean Give your home a deep clean from top to bottom, including windowws, upholstery and carpet, and the refrigerator and oven (yes, buyers actually open them).

Brighten your home Light gives the impression of space, so it’s important for every room in your home to have ample light at any time of day.

Prior to showings, wash windows, raise blinds and turn on lights.

Maintain the exterior Maintain your lawn and landscaping, and shovel and de-ice walkways in the winter. In a condominium, pay attention to the area in front of the doorway to ensure it’s neat. Make balconies, decks and patios inviting with potted plants and flowers.

Make repairs Take care of quick and easy repairs such as touch-up spackling and painting, replacing a cracked window or torn screen, fixing a leaky faucet and changing burned out light bulbs.

Remove pets Keep pets out of the home during showings and be sure to conceal food bowls and litter boxes.

Hire a home inspector Hiring a professional, licensed home inspector prior to putting your home on the market allows you to spot potential problems and make repairs before buyers make them an issue.

Disclose everything By law, sellers must disclose existing structural and mechanical problems, flooding, the presence of lead paint, information on radon hazards and other known defects to potential buyers. Withholding this information can have much more serious repercussions than the problem itself.

Paint A fresh coat of paint is the least expensive, most effective way to enhance the appearance of your home. Be sure to use neutral colors.

51

STAGING YOUR HOME Staging is the art of merchandising a home to improve its marketability. It can be as simple as rearranging a few pieces of furniture or as elaborate as hiring a professional to furnish an empty home right down to the plants and artwork.

Today, every home that is listed for sale should be staged to some degree. Your home must show like a model in order to stand out against the competition.

Your @properties broker can give you suggestions for staging or help you decide if you would benefit from a professional stager.

Here are some easy and inexpensive staging tips to consider:

52

Use neutral colors and dĂŠcor to help your home appeal to the largest number of potential buyers.

Add color through accessories such as pillows, vases and rugs.

Keep kitchen counters and refrigerators clean and clear of all items. If your kitchen needs an update, paint cupboards with a neutral color and replace knobs on cabinets.

Arrange furniture in small groupings that demonstrate a room’s functionality, and do not overcrowd a room with furniture.

Remove all personal items from the bathroom counter.

Use light, airy window treatments, like simple sheers on a curtain rod. Hang window treatments so they cover the least amount of glass.

Personal photographs and mementos add warmth and character to a home, but use them in moderation so the buyer will focus on the home, not its owners.

Display fresh flowers.

Camouflage outdated furniture or worn upholstery with slip covers, and replace worn bedspreads and throw rugs.

Add furniture, plants or potted flowers with seasonal settings to outdoor spaces.

53

NEGOTIATION – GUIDING PRINCIPLES Priced correctly and marketed aggressively, most homes will draw a timely offer.

How you and your broker handle that offer and subsequent negotiations can substantially affect the outcome of your home sale.

Your @properties broker will conduct negotiations with professionalism, attention to detail and a loyal representation of your interests. The following principles guide @properties’ brokers in every negotiation.

Confidentiality Confidentiality is vital to the integrity of the deal and to our reputation as professionals.

Responsiveness Time is of the essence in a real estate transaction. We will expedite the presentation of offers and counteroffers and quickly act upon any opportunity.

54

Resourcefulness Real estate sales are multi-faceted transactions. We examine all angles of a deal to find strategies and solutions that help you accomplish your objectives.

Communication Your @properties broker will involve you in all aspects of the negotiation and communicate your options clearly and candidly.

Strength We will do everything in our power to help you negotiate from a position of strength. Our goal is to achieve an outcome that meets or exceeds your expectations.

NEGOTIATION – CONTRACT TERMS A real estate transaction is a fluid process that does not end with an accepted offer.

Negotiations often continue on some level all the way to the closing. A REALTOR®’s

objectivity,

experience and counsel are essential to this process.

Some of the most common points that are negotiated include:

Price Your broker’s knowledge of the current market is invaluable in helping you decide whether to accept the offered price and terms or counter. They will also help you consider the time value of money in your decision, i.e. will a higher offer offset potential additional carrying costs?

Mortgage Contingency Most buyers purchase a home subject to obtaining a mortgage. The terms of the mortgage and the timeframe for securing a financing commitment must be stated in the contract. Make sure you are comfortable with these terms.

Home Inspection Most buyers choose to conduct an inspection of the property with a licensed home inspector. If the inspector uncovers any problems, you and the buyer must negotiate what items will be addressed and who will pay for them.

Attorney Approval Attorney approval is usually a one-week period, in which both you and the buyer have your attorneys review the contract and suggest alterations.

Closing Date This is the date when ownership changes hands and usually, but not always, the date when you must vacate and the buyer may occupy the property.

If you have specific requirements for scheduling the closing due to your own move, the buyer’s flexibility in this regard might be an important factor in deciding to accept an offer.

55

CONTRACT TO CLOSING – WHAT WE DO FOR YOU Guiding your real estate transaction from contract to closing is a multi-step process that requires proactive management and thorough attention to detail.

Our emphasis on communication, organization and follow-
