WORKING WITH A COLDWELL BANKER REALTOR®
Not all real estate agents are REALTORS®
REALTOR® is a registered trademark that identifies a real estate agent who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict code of ethics.
An expert to guide you through the process
Buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page settlement statements. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal and avoid delays or costly mistakes.
Objective information & opinions
REALTORS® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They will also be able to provide objective information about each property.
Finding the best property available
Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised, and it will take some investigation by your REALTOR® to find all available properties.
The benefit of negotiation experience
There are many negotiating factors, such as financing, terms, date of possession, and inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings, etc. Plus, the purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate property inspections and investigations before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
Real estate has its own language
If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s important to work with a professional who is immersed in the industry and knows the language.
REALTORS® have done it before
Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS®, on the other hand, handle real estate transactions constantly. Having an expert on your side is critical.
Buying and selling is emotional
A home often symbolizes family and security — it’s not just four walls and a roof. Because of this, home buying and selling can be an emotional undertaking. Having a concerned but objective third party helps you stay focused on both the emotional and financial issues important to you.
Ethical treatment
Every REALTOR® makes a commitment to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I had the most incredible experience working with Ivana to sell my home. She was tireless, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This was my first home selling process and Ivana ensured I was an informed homeowner as well as managed the burden of the stress. As a young female I have often been targeted and taken advantage of in important financial processes. It was really refreshing to work side by side with Ivana; not once did I feel “out of the loop,” uninformed, or skeptical. I truly believe she helped me sell this home as if it were her own.
Adrianne Davidoski, Point Loma HeightsChristian is an outstanding Real Estate Agent who represented us when buying and selling our home. Both transactions were undertaken to support our military move and were under a compressed time line. To support our home purchase, he presented us with market research data and a custom developed booklet detailing our search. In under a week we found our home and were in escrow, closing on time which supported a successful move. Being new to the neighborhood, he also helped us find reputable and quality home support services such as contractors and gardeners to help us maintain our home. Our home sale went just as smoothly. Christian once again conducted market research, settling in on a selling price. He professionally arranged and marketed our home on all Real Estate websites and avenues. Upon entering into escrow, he kept all home inspections rolling, and ensured the entire process closed on time... He met all timelines we had, closing the sale a few days prior to our planned move out date.
Ivana is the only realtor you will need for the rest of your life! I met Ivana 13 years ago when I was moving to San Diego from the East Coast. She made buying my first home a very easy experience. I was impressed by her vast knowledge of all the different areas of San Diego County, especially since I did not know much about the area. In total, we bought three homes and sold two with her help. The first home sold within a week of being on the market and the second home sold within four days of being on the market. (That’s because she knows what buyers are looking for and knows how to price competitively for the area.) Not only does Ivana make you feel like you are her only client, she is incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest. She will go above and beyond and will be your biggest advocate throughout the buying and selling experience. You will not be disappointed!
Ashley A., PowayI would recommend Christian Van’t Vlie because he had a good eye for detail and gave us valuable feedback regarding the preparation of selling our home. He was responsive to our many questions and returned phone calls/texts right away. We found the timeline he gave us for the sale of our home proved to be very valuable.

BROKER OPEN HOUSE
One of the most powerful ways to debut your home is by hosting a broker’s open house, where I invite my network of real estate industry contacts to tour your property. The sooner other brokers and agents know about your home, the sooner they can match it to their current buyers. It’s word-of-mouth marketing at its best.

MONITORING ONLINE VISIBILITY
Tracking the exposure of your property online is essential to understanding how it is being received by potential buyers. Our powerful data reports include the number of listing views and the geographical distribution of viewers, including city, state and country of origin. This insight can also be used to direct other marketing efforts to reach the ideal audience for your property.

YOUR HOME’S TRUE VALUE
With my comparative market analysis (CMA), I’ll develop a competitive pricing strategy that signals your home’s value and generates buyer excitement.
W W W . S A N D I E G O A T H O M E . C O M
SELLING YOUR HOME: PRICE IT COMPETITIVELY
Pricing your home competitively may seem counterintuitive when trying to receive the best offer on your home — most sellers think that they should price their home over market value to leave room for negotiation. However, when they do this, it makes the demand less for this home (meaning little to no negotiations.) See the chart below for more details.
A house that’s priced lower could generate higher interest and demand. This means there will be more people interested, and thus more room for negotiations. Buyers will bid against each other, which will result in the potential sales price going up.
Advice from Realtor.com: “Aim to price your property at or just slightly below the going rate. Today’s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they’re getting a deal, they’re likely to bid up a property that’s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.”
While we’ll work together to set your home’s asking price, the buyer will set the sales price. If you price your home too high, you’ll miss out on potential buyers. Pricing your property at fair market value, from the start, will generate the most activity from real estate agents and home buyers. The price must attract enough attention to result in showings and offers.
W W W . S A N D I E G O A T H O M E . C O M
IF THE ASKING PRICE IS: THE PROPERTY APPEALS TO: 15% Over Market Value 10% Over Market Value 5% Over Market Value Current Market Value 20% of Buyers 30% of Buyers 50% of Buyers 95% of Buyers
MAXIMIZE YOUR SELLING PRICE
Coldwell Banker® can help you make the needed improvements and repairs to prep your home for sale with no upfront costs using the RealVitalize® program. There are no hidden fees or interest and you don’t have to pay until your property sells*.
HOW IT WORKS
1. We’ll work together to decide which home improvement projects will increase your home’s value the most and set an estimated budget for the work.
2. I’ll enroll your home in the RealVitalize program and get you connected to a dedicated Angi Project Consultant who will source and schedule local vendors from Angi’s network of trusted service professionals.
3. Once you approve the estimates, local toprated professionals implement your home improvements. Home projects and services are backed by the Angi Happiness Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your home project or service, Angi will work to make it right.
4. I list your home. You don’t pay anything back until closing*.

YOURS or THEIRS – The Personal vs. Real Property Dilemma
The distinction between personal property and real property can be the source of difficulties in a real estate transaction. A purchase contract is normally written to include all real property, that is, all aspects of the property that are fastened down or an integral part of the structure. For example, this would include light fixtures, drapery rods, attached mirrors, trees and shrubs in the ground. It would not include potted plants, free-standing refrigerators, washer/dryers, microwaves, bookcases, swag lamps, etc.
