Mary Jane Freeman Sellers Guide

As a Greenville native and having spent most of my life here, I have seen the dramatic transformation of Greenville from a small textile town to an exciting cultural city that has become a destination for so many. I have experienced the changes first hand and realize it has become an even better place to live and raise a family.

In the real estate business since 2004, I will use my experience in the Greenville market to price your home competitively, prepare it to show effectively, and promote it using every tool I have available to me through Coldwell Banker Caine.

To get to know me better, visit mjfreeman.net, paying special attention to the testimonials and reviews.

Let your partner use her skills and experience to turn your dreams into a reality.

Seller consultation with your CB Caine Realtor ® .

A seller consultation is your first meeting with a Coldwell Banker Caine Realtor® and sets the stage for an effective and efficient working relationship. Your CB Caine Realtor® will gather the detailed information needed to help sell your home and explain the selling process. This is your time to discuss the list price and positioning of your home. Your CB Caine Realtor® will provide in-depth insights on comparable properties and what the market has seen recently.

At the initial consultation, your CB Caine Realtor® will outline the selling process and review the necessary paperwork that is unique to our marketplace. Having this information from the beginning will allow you to move forward confidently and quickly when you decide to accept an offer.

Positioning your home for sale.

A properly positioned home will:

• Create Urgency

• Increase Demand

• Build Negotiating Power

When positioning your home for sale, consider the most important factors:

1. Location

2. Condition

3. List Price

4. Size of Potential Buyer Pool

1. Location

The well-known real estate adage of “Location…Location…Location” still holds true, but successful real estate marketing is more than just where the property is on the map.

Buyers are typically looking for specific neighborhood amenities, proximity to shopping, dining and recreation, home site characteristics, as well as distance to interstates and local businesses.

Your knowledgeable Realtor® should position your home to emphasize lifestyle in addition to providing facts like bedrooms and baths when marketing the home.

2. Condition - Two Clicks and Eight Seconds

When viewing homes online, buyers decide to visit the home within two clicks of the mouse (first picture, second picture). When they decide to visit your home, they make an assessment of the maintenance and value of a home within eight seconds of entering. Establishing a great first impression through professional photography and staging are critical to achieving a successful sale.

The best way to make a buyer “feel at home” is to create an environment with the following features:

• Yard should be tidy. Invest in new mulch, cut the grass and have fresh plants at the entry.

• Neutral colors. Deep colors or bold colors do not photograph well and may clash with the buyers’ decor.

• De-clutter counters, closets, attic, cabinets, garage and living spaces. Buyers need to get the impression that the size of the home will accommodate their belongings.

• Minimize furniture. Buyers need to be able to imagine their own furnishings in the home.

• Minimize noise. The home should either be quiet or enhanced by subtle background music or fountains.

• The home should be light and bright. Turn on all lights and open blinds and curtains.

3. List Price Positioning

Your home is worth what buyers in the current market are willing to pay.

Your Coldwell Banker Caine Realtor® will provide a comprehensive analysis of:

• Recent sales in the area

• Homes selling per month

• Homes available for sale in your neighborhood, competing neighborhoods, and in new construction

This comprehensive analysis is known as a CMA - Competitive Market Analysis.

You are hiring a Realtor® to watch the market and determine how your property stands out against the competition. It is the Realtor’s job to make sure you have positioned your property at a price to drive significant traffic and create the best climate to receive an offer.

You will know if your home is priced right by the number of showings.

• If a property is overpriced, there are fewer showings and zero offers. Buyers and agents in the market view the home online, but do not come to the home because they believe that the home “down the street” is a better value

• If the property is priced at or below market price, it becomes a “hot” property. Buyers’ urgency is heightened because they feel they may lose the property to other buyers in the market. The property receives significant showings and possibly multiple offers. By setting the price at the market value, the seller creates fear of loss and ultimately sells the property quicker. The home is in a better position for negotiations and may even sell for higher than the asking price or market value.

POOL OF EDUCATED BUYERS

TIME ON MARKET

4. Buyer Pool

The largest number of potential buyers will view a newly listed home within the first few days on the market, and the number of showings will decrease as the days on the market increases. This pool of buyers includes home buyers just entering the market and, more importantly, buyers working with REALTORS® who have already seen the existing inventory and have not found a home, making them eager to make an offer.

To take advantage of this increased level of traffic and buyer interest, your property should be priced to sell at fair market value from the very start.

Repositioning

If the market has rejected the current price and/or positioning, your Coldwell Banker Caine Realtor® will help you make the necessary changes to reposition and get your home sold.

Market your home.

In real estate, exposure is everything. That is why our in-house marketing agency works to provide the highest quality digital and print materials to promote your home.

Your Realtor® will also use data to identify the target buyers and create a strategic marketing plan to reach them. This may include:

• Installing a distinctive Coldwell Banker Caine yard sign

• Promoting your home on the MLS

• Presenting your home’s listing online to thousands of websites

• Responding promptly to buyer inquiries

• Arranging showings

• Holding open house(s)

• Communicating feedback

• Marketing your property via email, direct mail and social media

• Providing market updates

• Social media promotion

Our Coldwell Banker Caine listings are shared on thousands of sites including Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, ColdwellBanker.com, and many others. Further, each home receives a custom website featuring enhanced imagery and detailed description of features and lifestyle.

Caine Property Photography

Homes with high-quality photos often receive a 47% higher asking price per square foot and can sell 32% faster. (Photos can make or break that crucial first impression for potential home buyers, WashingtonPost.com.)

Caine Property Videography

Our video tours are much more than still images set to music. They capture the experience of walking through the home in real time.

Video tours are also valuable selling tools on both MLS and social media.

Marketing Your Home Where Buyers Are Looking

While buyers use a variety of information sources to learn about homes for sale in their target neighborhood, we know that the vast majority will discover your home with the assistance of an agent and the internet.

Information Sources Used in Home Search

Where Buyers Found the Home They Purchased

Internet

41% of home buyers start their search online and 52% find their home online.

The internet is the best vehicle for marketing your home because you can reach the largest audience online.

Professional photography is extremely important. Remember, the online buyer makes an impression of your home in two clicks. Pictures should highlight the best features of your home and your neighborhood.

Describing the lifestyle of your home is important for the online buyer to realize the hidden benefits of buying your home. What will you miss most about your home or neighborhood? Highlight the friendly neighbors, easy access to your favorite stores or active neighborhood association.

Marketing Power of Social Media

Social media is king.

Both the average Facebook and Instagram user spends 33.1 minutes per day on each platform. The average TikTok user spends 53.8 minutes per day on the popular app.1

With so many eyes glued to social media, it is a great tool to help us cast an even wider net, showing your home to thousands of potential buyers.

The Coldwell Banker Caine brand has an impressive online presence designed to engage, inform, and connect with today’s home buyers as well.

Marketing Beyond the Internet

Agents Matter:

28% of buyers surveyed found their home through their agent. Your Coldwell Banker Caine Realtor® will target agents who sell in your area by:

• Promoting your listing in our offices and through their agent network

• Contacting agents who recently sold in the area

• Hosting a broker open house

Friends, Family and Neighbors:

Selling your home is a collaborative effort. In fact, 8% of buyers surveyed found their home from friends, family and neighbors. To maximize this source of buyers, you and your Realtor® can:

• Send Just Listed postcards to neighbors, your friends and family and move up neighborhoods

• Share your home’s exclusive website and graphics on social media outlets like Facebook and Instagram

• Provide information to neighbors about open houses or incentives

Yard Signs:

4% of buyers surveyed found their home from the yard sign, and 33% used yard signs as a part of their home search. The yard sign should:

• Be easily recognizable as a home for sale

• Contain easy access to information

• Have contact information with numbers that provide quick response

Open House signage can be powerful in getting neighbors and early stage buyers into your home and provide an avenue for buyers who haven’t engaged an agent to tour the home as well.

Marketing to luxury buyers.

The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® program is among the most successful names in high-end real estate, powered by agents in 40 countries who deeply understand this unique market’s intricacies and clientele.

In 2023, Coldwell Banker sold over $200 million in luxury listings every day and over 39,000 $1M+ properties for the year.1 Our luxury agents are certified to provide unrivaled service to their luxury clients and are connected to a referral network of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® agents worldwide.

At Caine, we go above and beyond to provide exceptional photography and videography along with an extensive list of high-end print and digital marketing materials.

For our clients selling in this exclusive price point, there is no partner better suited to bring you success.

Accept an offer.

To reach an agreement, you will be considering more than just price.

Typically, an offer includes the following information:

• The amount the buyer is willing to pay, known as the “Purchase Price.”

• Mortgage amount (if any) and type of financing that the buyer must receive in order to purchase the home.

• Contingencies, including the mortgage commitment, appraisal and inspections. Inspections include, but are not limited to: structure, mechanical, termite, pest, radon, well, septic, lead, asbestos, environmental and oil tank.

• Seller concessions such as requested seller paid closing costs and/or seller paid home warranty.

• Personal property specifically included or excluded (refrigerator, washer/dryer, drapes, area rugs, plants in movable containers, grills, etc).

• Closing and occupancy dates.

Depending on the competition, some buyers leave room for negotiation when they make their initial offer. While it is ultimately your decision to accept or reject an offer or present a counter-offer, a professional agent can be of valuable assistance to you during the negotiating process.

Finally, remember to negotiate with repairs in mind. If you have to make repairs during the inspection process, you need to have additional funds to make those repairs.

Repair and appraisal negotiations.

Getting your home Under Contract is exciting…but you are not done yet!

Once you reach an agreement, work closely with your Realtor® to understand next steps and important dates.

Inspections and Repairs: It is best practice to have your home inspected before listing the home and correct any issues found. This allows you to market the home as inspected and repaired. Further, it allows you to uncover any issues that exist prior to accepting an offer.

Even with a previously inspected home, most buyers will have their own inspection. The buyer will submit a list of requested repairs and the repair list will be negotiated. The seller is responsible for making the agreed upon repairs prior to closing. Requested repairs typically equal 1% to 2% of the purchase price of the home.

Appraisals: If the buyer is purchasing the home by obtaining a mortgage, the lender will require an appraisal. An appraisal is an opinion of value at a specific moment in time. Should the appraisal come in lower than the agreed upon Purchase Price, the buyer may not be able to get the loan they need to purchase the home. When this happens, the buyer and seller can agree to renegotiate the purchase price. Some buyers may be able to apply for a different loan or contest the appraisal, but each situation is unique. Therefore, you need to feel confident that your agent can help you navigate this difficult situation and outline your available options.

Move out and close.

Congratulations, you have made it to the final steps!

The closing is the formal process where all parties sign the necessary paperwork needed to complete the transaction.

At closing:

• The attorney or closing coordinator receives the buyer’s mortgage funds and down payment to purchase the home

• To determine your proceeds, the attorney subtracts the payoff of your existing mortgage, preparation of the deed, deed stamps, pro-rated taxes, commissions and all other closing costs from the purchase price

• The attorney will record the transfer of the deed

• The buyer will receive keys to the property and the seller will receive their proceeds

Your agent will continue to guide you through the days leading up to closing. We recommend scheduling the closing on a weekday, Monday through Thursday.

Here are a few reminders to make the closing process smoother:

Utilities and Mail: A week prior to closing, remember to contact your utilities (including your security system) and turn off your utilities the day after closing. Also, remember to forward your mail to your new address.

Final Walk-Through: The buyer will schedule a final walk-through prior to closing to ensure repairs have been completed, details of the contract have been fulfilled, and the home is completely vacated and clean.

Helpful Hints: Please remember to leave invoices for the repairs completed, your garage door openers, gate/garage codes, remotes for ceiling fans/ gas logs, appliance manuals, a list of paint colors, smart device operating information, and any neighborhood information that could be helpful (how to access the neighborhood pool, HOA manager name, etc.).

Though each transaction is unique, the right agent will help you position your home to receive the best offer, negotiate the offer to the best contract terms for you, and help you navigate the contract to close process.

The Coldwell Banker Caine brand is home to agents and clients who expect more from a real estate company.

Our clients are more than just another transaction. We work hard to be the very best and earn your partnership for life.

We believe that you deserve a company and an experience that is as exceptional as you are.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY CONDITION DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

The South Carolina Code of Laws (Title 27, Chapter 50, Article 1) requires that an owner of residential real property (single family dwelling unit or a single transaction involving transfer of four dwelling units or less) shall provide to a purchaser this completed and signed disclosure statement prior to forming a real estate contract. This disclosure must be provided in connection with any sale, exchange, installment land sale, and lease with an option to purchase contract. This disclosure statement is not required in connection with transactions listed and exempted by South Carolina Code § 27 -50-30.

Owners should answer the questions fully, honestly, and appropriately by attaching documents, checking a box for each check box question, and writing in the blanks on this disclosure statement.

If a question is answered “Yes” or asks for a description, then owner must explain or describe the issue or attach a descriptive report from an engineer, contractor, pest control operator, expert, or public agency. If owner attaches a report, owner shall not be liable for inaccurate or incomplete information in the report unless owner was grossly negligent in obtaining or transmitting the information. If owner fails to check “Yes” or make a disclosure and owner knows there is a problem, owner may be liable for making an intentional or negligent misrepresentation and may owe the purchaser actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees. If a question is answered “No” for any question, the owner is stating that owner has no actual knowledge of any problem.

By answering “No Representation” on this disclosure statement, the owner is acknowledging that they do not have the current knowledge necessary to answer the questions with either a “ Yes” or “No” response. Owner still has a duty to disclose information that is known at the time of the disclosure statement. “No Representation” should not be selected if the owner simply wishes to not disclose information or answer the question. Selecting “No Representation” does not waive liability if owner is aware or subsequently becomes aware.

If a question is answered and subsequently new information is obtained or something changes to render the owner’s answer incorrect, inaccurate, or misleading (example: roof begins to leak), owner must promptly correct the disclosure. In some situations, the owner may notify the purchaser of the correction. In some situations, the owner may correct or repair the issue.

The owner shall deliver to the purchaser this disclosure before a real estate contract is signed by the purchaser and owner, or as otherwise agreed in the real estate contract. The real estate licensee must disclose material adverse facts about the property if actually known by the licensee about the issue, regardless of owner responses on this disclosure. Owner is solely responsible to complete this disclosure as truthfully and fully as possible. Owner and purchaser are solely responsible to consult with their attorneys regarding any disclosure issues. By signing below, owners acknowledge their duties and that failure to disclose known material information about the property may result in owner liability. Owner must provide the completed disclosure statement to the purchaser prior to the time the owner and purchaser sign a real estate contract unless the real estate contract states otherwise. Owner should provide a signed copy to the purchaser and keep a copy signed by the purchaser.

A real estate contract, not this disclosure, controls what property transfers from owner to purchaser.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF

South Carolina Real Estate Commission PO BOX 11847, Columbia, S.C. 29211-1847

Telephone: (803) 896-4400 Fax: (803) 896-4427

http://llr.sc.gov/POL/REC/

Pursuant to South Carolina Real Estate License Law in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-370, a real estate licensee is required to provide you a meaningful explanation of agency relationships offered by the licensee’s brokerage firm. This must be done at the first practical opportunity when you and the licensee have substantive contact.

Before you begin to work with a real estate licensee, it is important for you to know the difference between a broker-in-charge and associated licensees. The broker-in-charge is the person in charge of a real estate brokerage firm. Associated licensees may work only through a broker-in-charge. In other words, when you choose to work with any real estate licensee, your business relationship is legally with the brokerage firm and not with the associated licensee.

A real estate brokerage firm and its associated licensees can provide buyers and sellers valuable real estate services, whether in the form of basic customer services, or through client-level agency representation. The services you can expect will depend upon the legal relationship you establish with the brokerage firm. It is important for you to discuss the following information with the real estate licensee and agree on whether in your business relationship you will be a customer or a client.

You Are a Customer of the Brokerage Firm

South Carolina license law defines customers as buyers or sellers who choose NOT to establish an agency relationship. The law requires real estate licensees to perform the following basic duties when dealing with any real estate buyer or seller as customers: present all offers in a timely manner, account for money or other property received on your behalf, provide an explanation of the scope of services to be provided, be fair and honest and provide accurate information, provide limited confidentiality, and disclose “material adverse facts” about the property or the transaction which are within the licensee’s knowledge.

Unless or until you enter into a written agreement with the brokerage firm for agency representation, you are considered a “customer” of the brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm will not act as your agent. As a customer, you should not expect the brokerage firm or its licensees to promote your best interest.

Customer service does not require a written agreement; therefore, you are not committed to the brokerage firm in any way unless a transaction broker agreement or compensation agreement obligates you otherwise

Transaction Brokerage

A real estate brokerage firm may offer transaction brokerage in accordance with S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350. Transaction broker means a real estate brokerage firm that provides customer service to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction. A transaction broker may be a single agent of a party in a transaction giving the other party customer service. A transaction broker also may facilitate a transaction without representing either party. The duties of a brokerage firm offering transaction brokerage relationship to a customer can be found in S.C. Code of Laws Section 40-57-350(L)(2).

You Can Become a Client of the Brokerage Firm

Clients receive more services than customers. If client status is offered by the real estate brokerage firm, you can become a client by entering into a written agency agreement requiring the brokerage firm and its associated licensees to act as an agent on your behalf and promote your best interests. If you choose to become a client, you will be asked to confirm in your written representation agreement that you received this agency relationships disclosure document in a timely manner.

A seller becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal listing agreement with the brokerage firm. For a seller to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the seller and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the seller.

A buyer becomes a client of a real estate brokerage firm by signing a formal buyer agency agreement with the brokerage firm. For a buyer to become a client, this agreement must be in writing and must clearly establish the terms of the agreement and the obligations of both the buyer and the brokerage firm which becomes the agent for the buyer.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISCLOSURE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS

If you enter into a written agency agreement, as a client, the real estate brokerage has the following client-level duties: obedience, loyalty, disclosure, confidentiality, accounting, and reasonable skill and care. Client-level services also include advice, counsel and assistance in negotiations.

Single Agency

When the brokerage firm represents only one client in the same transaction (the seller or the buyer), it is called single agency.

Dual Agency

Dual agency exists when the real estate brokerage firm has two clients in one transaction – a seller client and a buyer client. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to represent both you and the other client in a disclosed dual agency relationship.

Disclosed Dual Agency

In a disclosed dual agency, the brokerage firm’s representation duties are limited because the buyer and seller have recognized conflicts of interest. Both clients’ interests are represented by the brokerage firm. As a disclosed dual agent, the brokerage firm and its associated licensees cannot advocate on behalf of one client over the other, and cannot disclose confidential client information concerning the price negotiations, terms, or factors motivating the buyer/client to buy or the seller/client to sell. Each Dual Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

Designated Agency

In designated agency, a broker-in-charge may designate individual associated licensees to act solely on behalf of each client. Designated agents are not limited by the brokerage firm’s agency relationship with the other client, but instead have a duty to promote the best interest of their clients, including negotiating a price. The broker-in-charge remains a disclosed dual agent for both clients, and ensures the assigned agents fulfill their duties to their respective clients. At the time you sign an agency agreement, you may be asked to acknowledge whether you would consider giving written consent allowing the brokerage firm to designate a representative for you and one for the other client in a designated agency. Each Designated Agency Agreement contains the names of both the seller client(s) and the buyer client(s) and identifies the property.

It’s Your Choice

As a real estate consumer in South Carolina, it is your choice as to the type and nature of services you receive.

• You can choose to remain a customer and represent yourself, with or without a transaction broker agreement.

• You can choose to hire the brokerage firm for representation through a written agency agreement.

• If represented by the brokerage firm, you can decide whether to go forward under the shared services of dual agency or designated agency or to remain in single agency.

If you plan to become a client of a brokerage firm, the licensee will explain the agreement to you fully and answer questions you may have about the agreement. Remember, however that until you enter into a representation agreement with the brokerage firm, you are considered a customer and the brokerage firm cannot be your advocate, cannot advise you on price or terms, and only provides limited confidentiality unless a transaction broker agreement obligates the brokerage firm otherwise

The choice of services belongs to you – the South Carolina real estate consumer.

EARNEST MONEY DISCLOSURE

PARTIES understand that sometimes unfortunately, a transaction may fail to close for a variety of reasons.

PARTIES understand that a Broker-in-Charge or attorney holding an earnest money deposit must handle that earnest money deposit in accordance with SC real estate license laws paraphrased below:

Buyers and Sellers agree that if a transaction fails to close, a Broker-in-Charge or attorney acting as an escrow agent shall hold the earnest money in safe keeping in accordance with SC laws and shall not disburse the earnest money to anyone until:

● AlltheBuyersandSellerssignadisbursementagreementstatingwhogetswhatamountofearnest money,or

● Ajudgeinacourtofcompetentjurisdictionissuesadisbursementorder.

Only when all parties sign a disbursement agreement or a disbursement order is obtained from the court, the Broker-in-Charge or attorney will properly disburse the earnest money within a reasonable amount of time in accordance with SC laws.

If Parties are using a lawyer to hold the earnest money in trust, Parties should consider signing a written escrow agreement with that lawyer that details how the earnest money is held and how the earnest money is disbursed by the lawyer.

Buyers and Sellers are encouraged to obtain legal counsel prior to signing any legal documents.
