MY MISSION: I have built my business with the deep fundamental belief that the phenomenal service I give My clients will always be the foundation that my growth is built upon. I will never succeed without the consistent satisfaction of my clients.

MY PROMISE TO YOU: My promise is to deliver the best service imaginable for every single one of my clients. I promise to focus on your individual needs in order to ensure the best possible outcome. I will be proactive in anticipating potential challenges and minimizing any surprises. I put all my focus on making this a five star experience that exceeds all expectations.

OPEN HEARTS, OPEN DOORS I am passionate about giving back to the community, especially those less fortunate, which is why I created “Open Hearts, Open Doors”.

I have the trust, honor and privilege of helping clients, like you, purchase their homes. I feel strongly that we should never take for granted the amazing feeling of having a home, having a warm and safe space, where we can be ourselves with the ones we love, where we laugh until we cry (and maybe pee a little). A place where we get to cook huge meals; then overeat and pass out on the couch, or where we order delivery because we just can’t look at the stove right now. A home where we make memories that will last our entire lives and we tell stories about things that happened between four walls and a roof. Four walls and a roof…such a simple thing that we all too often take for granted.

There are too many amazing human beings that share this Earth with us that would never take a home for granted, because they do not have one. They do not have such a simple thing as four walls and a roof. They do not have a place of their own where they can be safe or warm. A place where they can lay down at night with the comfort of a soft bed and a warm blanket. They fight the cold, the rain, the shame, and the hunger that comes without having a home everyday. And for those strong and humble people, we at The Davenport Group make it part of our mission to help them.

We collect donations throughout the year and work hand in hand with local charities to help those of us that can not say “we have a home” until they are able to say they have one.

WHY HIRE ME? I am dedicated to providing you with the best service possible. That is why when you hire me to assist you in selling your home, I will work hand in hand with you and you will not be passed off to someone else, who is not the person you hired!

WHY HIRE A PERSONAL AGENT & NOT A TEAM

When you hire me I am your personal agent and you will not be working with someone you've never met.

I will be alongside you, personally making sure you have the best possible experience.

MARKETING Marketing plays a crucial role in the sale of a home. I pride myself on the extensive marketing services I offer my clients. From print and digital listing advertisements to social media campaigns and specialized property guides, I will cover all possible bases.

Professional Photography Services: I will pay to have your home photographed by a nationally recognized photographer. With 95% of buyers using the internet to search for homes, professional photography is essential to any effective marketing plan. More people will view your home online than will ever visit it personally. Getting and holding their attention online with professional photography is one way to increase the probability of an in-person showing.

“Buyers perceive homes with professional photography to be worth, on average, 12% more than the actual price.”

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY A picture is worth a thousand words. My professional photographer will ensure that your home's best features are highlighted.

Average Agent's Photos

My Photos (same houses)

MARKETING Social Media

Your home will also be marketed extensively on Facebook and Instagram, the world’s leading social media sites.

I will market your home using several proven approaches, including highly-targeted ads, video, photos and more. These approaches will be utilized on both my personal pages and my professional pages.

A recent study showed that Facebook was the #1 most open app at any given time, which means that this is an opportunity to reach tens of thousands of buyers.

MARKETING Print Buyers who view your home will leave with a professional made informational booklet including the professional photos, a personalized letter from you, an upgrade list, and all pertinent disclosures.

Did you know that 6% of buyers bought their home because they heard about it from one of the neighbors?

To make sure that we reach those buyers, 60 of your closest neighbors will get a personal letter from you, letting them know your home just came on the market.

Those same 60 neighbors will also get a personal phone message from me letting them know the home is on the market and to ask if they know of anyone looking to purchase a home and if your home would be a good fit.

MARKETING Open House Taking Open Houses Beyond the Basics Holding an open house is a serious business. Below is a chart that shows you exactly how I can maximize your open house to sell your property.

A few benefits of these showcase listings include: Maximum amount of oversized photos High-definition video tour Higher ranking in the search pages Detailed descriptions of your home Interactive maps Open house notices Lead follow up forms for potential buyers

Did you know that YouTube.com is the 2nd largest search site below Google? When I market your home it will not only be advertised heavily through Google, it will also have the professionally made virtual tour on YouTube.

• Our web network boasts 2.6 million unique visitors a month.

• Among the features specifically designed to give consumers all the real estate information they want are local featured listings on the landing page and a mobile optimized version of the site.

• Listings have increased open house visibility via a real time open house search

DO YOU NEED STAGING? You will want to "stage" your home to show off the best features.

A clean, well-lit home will be much more appealing to potential buyer's and will also enable our photographer to show your home in the best light possible.

Additionally, it can be difficult for potential buyers to see themselves in a space that is heavily cluttered with the owner's personal trinkets and belongings.

Following our list of tips and tricks will be a sure fire way to getting high quality photos of your home.

GETTING YOUR HOUSE READY TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED When your home is getting photographed you want it to look great! Below are some tips to help you prepare. When you are getting ready, look around the room like you have never been there before and notice things that are out of place or cluttered.

Before our photographer arrives to photograph your home please open all blinds, turn on all lights, and turn off all fans. If you are home when they arrive, they will plan on doing a short walk-through of the house with you and will ask you what you think are the home’s best features- like a huge yard, new appliances, a large pantry, etc. If there is a closet you want highlighted, please make sure it is straightened & cleaned!

Outside: Please have the cars out of the driveway and parked somewhere not in the front of the house.

Do some general yard work: trim overgrown plants, rake dead leaves, mow, and edge.

Do some general clean up: Arrange deck furniture neatly, pick up toys from the yard, sweep the patio/deck and walkway if needed.

If you can, hide your trashcans and roll up your hoses.

Inside: Make sure toys are picked up out of sight in every room.

Pick up any shoes, especially in the entry area.

Clean any French doors or glass front/back doors.

Clean windows that are streaked or dirty.

If you have a pet, make sure the dishes are hidden, and the litter box and crate too if possible.

Check for burned out light bulbs and replace them.

Hide the paper stacks- bills, mail, magazines.

Hide the trashcans.

GETTING YOUR HOUSE READY TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED (PT.2) Kitchen Clean off counters of most items- dishtowels, food, dishes, etc.

Wash and put away the dishes.

Make sure the table is cleared and push in the chairs around the table.

Remove everything from the outside of the refrigerator.

Bedrooms Make all beds. Pick up all laundry and neatly put toys where they go (preferably out of sight). Bathrooms: Clean up the bathrooms- no shampoos, razors, towels laying around, etc.

Put all toilet seats down.

Hang towels neatly on pegs or towel bars, but not thrown over the shower rod.

Clean off the counters. Nothing out except decorative items and a hand towel.

Clean out the shower- no shampoo bottles, face cloths, etc.

Living Room Pick up remote controls.

Straighten furniture and pillows.

Add some flowers or books to table

PRICE A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market.

The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value.

Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and often fails to generate strong activity.

Many homes that start too high end up selling below market value.

HOME WARRANTY I will provide you a home warranty, at no cost to you, while your home is listed with me. It can easily be transferred to the buyer, for a cost, at closing to cover them for one year. This can potentially save you thousands if certain systems were to experience issues during the listing period.

A Home Warranty will give you the peace of mind that you will not have to be out excessive money while your home is on the market.

MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS Buy with cash Make a winning, all-cash offer today.

Real estate transactions can be really stressful. You're either competing with other buyers or worried about settling for the seller's terms and timeline. The thought of losing a home you love or being out-negotiated often leads to overpaying and bad decisions. But now there's an alternative.

I designed Buy with cash to strengthen your offer so that you can win the home you want on your terms.

Buy with cash for no cost Convenience fee Our standard convenience fee is 1.9%. But when you use our preferred lender, all of that is credited back to you at closing, reducing your cost to buy with cash to 0%.

Rent Deferred until closing We prorate your rent by day, so you only pay for the time you need.

SHOWING TIPS Turn on all the lights in your home.

Leave interior doors slightly ajar.

Crack or open the blinds.

Leave the home during the showing. Most buyers are uncomfortable when a seller is present. This may cause them to rush through your home and not notice all the small details that make your home unique.

Buyers can also feel uncomfortable expressing their thoughts about your home in front of you. Leaving the home gives them the opportunity to discuss your home with their agent during the viewing.

Not all agents will leave a card after showing your property. All agents must contact our office for showing instructions so we will already have the showing agent's contact information.

A representative from our team will not be present for showings. Again, it is very important that the buyer and their agent are able to discuss your home during the viewing and that they do not feel uncomfortable in any way.

POTENTIAL PRE-INSPECTIONS TO CONSIDER Appraisal: $350-$450 Home Inspection: $350-$600 Termite Inspection: $35-$50 or free if you have a bond HVAC Inspection: $125-$250 Radon Inspection: $150-$250 Survey: $1,200+ Septic Inspection: $450-$650 Well Inspection: $150 Roof Inspection: $250 Foundation Inspection: $400*

WHY GET THESE PRE-INSPECTIONS Appraisal: When you get a pre-appraisal done on your property is gives us advantage in being able to price the property accordingly, negotiate more fiercely with offers we receive and we are able to present the appraisal to the lender's appraiser when the time comes to support our purchase price.

Home Inspection: Look at a pre-home inspection as a checklist for you get your property in the absolute best possible shape to present to buyers. This is also a great tool to use as a reminder of any maintenance that could be needed that perhaps got overlooked.

Termite Inspection: If your home is not already under a termite bond, or termite coverage, then it is a very good idea to go ahead and have a professional termite company come and inspect your property. If no termites are found then this will allow us to present a free and clear letter to any potential buyers. And if it is discovered that there are termites, you can go ahead and treat and this will not come as a shock after we are under contract.

HVAC Inspection: It's always part of maintaining your home to get a yearly HVAC service and sometimes this is a step we overlook. So, before we start to market your property to buyers you will want to go ahead and have your HVAC system serviced to be able to give the buyers a clean bill of health so they can feel confident making an offer.

Radon Inspection: Georgia is one of the states with the highest radon, so even if you are on a slab it is recommenced that you go ahead and get a radon test so be sure that your home has safe levels of radon. When the safe level report comes back this will be made available to the buyers and will make your home more appealing.

WHY GET THESE PRE-INSPECTIONS Survey: Unless you have a recent, and legible, survey showing your lot lines and the locations of all structures on the property, it may be a good time to go ahead and have your property resurveyed. And of course a new survey is always appealing to buyers who look at your property because it takes away the fear of any encroachments or unknown property lines.

Septic Inspection: If your home is on a septic system it is recommenced that you have the septic tank pumped every 3-5 years. If you have not had your septic tank pumped and inspection in the last 3-5 years it would be a good idea to consider going ahead and completing this maintenance.

Well Inspection and water test: If your home is on well water you may want to go ahead and have it serviced and the water tested. Not only will many lenders require a clear water test but the CDC recommends that Wells should be checked and tested yearly for mechanical problems, cleanliness, and the presence of certain contaminants, such as coliform bacteria, nitrates/nitrites, and any other contaminants of local concern, (for example, arsenic and radon).

Roof Inspection: There are not many times that homeowners find themselves up on their roof! So it is a good idea to go ahead and have a roofer come out and make sure there are no missing shingles, no screws loose on a metal roof, and all the rubber boots and seals are in good shape. This cost effective inspection can prevent thousands in a roof leak.

Foundation Inspection: Most homes do not need a foundation inspection, but if your home is older or you have cracks in your foundation it may be a good idea to go ahead and have it looked it.
