Susan has been an absolute blessing to Allan & I. She was there every step of the way, and went above and beyond the duty of a real estate professional. She is number 1 in my book! She truly is the best in the business.

I highly recommend her in the sale of one’s home.

I give her a diamond over 5 stars. ~ Alison R.

We had the pleasure of working with Susan Redgrave on the sale of our home in Brentwood. The experience, which can be stressful, was overwhelmingly positive, thanks entirely to Susan. She put together an effective plan that took us from preparing the house through to closing, and each step along the way was clearly laid out and explained fully. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly, & accurately, and always with patience, and a positive attitude.

Susan did an excellent job of communicating progress, timing, next steps, and etc., during the entire process. She took on the burden of coordinating painters, landscapers, carpet cleaners, house cleaners and stagers, who transformed the home into an attractive and desired property.

She hosted a brokers tour and held open houses, which generated additional interest in the home. We ended up with multiple offers, all over the asking price. This allowed us to select the one that we thought was the best fit for the neighborhood.

She even helped us on the purchase of our new place, by offering insight and advice on properties that we were looking at.

I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is thinking of selling, or buying, in the Brentwood area. Besides being fun, and easy to work with, she is the epitome of professionalism, is extremely hard-working, and an excellent communicator. it was the easiest real estate transaction that I've been a part of. ~Allan R.

My sister and I had to sell our mother's house as she recently passed. We chose Susan Redgrave at Dudum Realty based upon a recommendation from a friend of mine. We could not have been in better more capable hands. Susan handled everything. She was very prompt, excellent communication and she acted professionally at all times. She let us make our own decisions but chimed in and offered advice and direction when we needed it. In the past I have worked with other real estate agents and normally they take a look around, create a list of things that need to be done to make the house attractive and place all that responsibility squarely in the laps of the seller. Susan was not like that. She found things that needed to be addressed and she took the lead and fixed them. She had many contacts that would come over and fix things immediately. My sister and I live 45 min to an hour away from Brentwood and we found Susan's help invaluable. Bottom line we got multiple offers and sold the house above asking price due to the abilities that Susan and Dudum Realty offers. I would highly highly recommend Dudum and Susan. In fact I have already done so with my children's mother who is moving out of Brentwood soon. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Brentwood and surrounding areas, you cannot go wrong in choosing Dudum Realty and Susan Redgrave. She is fantastic. ~Scott H.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE LISTING AGREEMENT

By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker

Each of the four types of standard agreements—Exclusive Right to Sell, Open Listing, and Exclusive Agency—is a legally binding contract that authorizes a broker and her sales associates to produce a buyer for a home, according to the conditions specified in the contract.

Depending on the type of listing agreement, you can expect to see most of these terms detailed in the document.

• Terms of the Agreement The length of time the contract will be in effect typically runs anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on the local market. Under Terms of the Agreement, you’ll also find the price of the home. You should arrive at the home’s market value after considering the Comparative Market Analysis and other market factors with your agent.

• Commission It may come as a surprise that commissions are not set by the industry and are negotiable.

Real estate professionals expect to earn between 6% and 7% of the sale price, depending on the market and the services

offered. The home is generally offer on the MLS and the commission is split with the buyers agent.

• Multiple Listing Service (MLS) This section authorizes a real estate professional to list your home with the MLS. While you have the right to opt out of listing with the MLS I do not recommend it. The MLS can dramatically increase exposure and with it help maximize your home’s value The MLS is the main portal to the Internet and will increase the chances of selling your home.

• Lockbox Basically a hollowed-out padlock or miniature safe holds a key to your home. The lockbox allows convenient access for Agents showing the home.

Only an Agent with an electronic key can gain entry. The visit is recorded and accessible to find out who showed the home and when.

• Description of the Property and Its Condition Here you’ll find a description of the property and its general condition as well as the condition of its major systems—mechanical, plumbing and electrical. Along with the description should be a list of the items

that will stay with the home, for instance, the washer and dryer, and those items you intend to remove such as a special light fixture.

• Marketing Plan While the marketing plan is not specifically in the agreement it can be added as an addendum. The marketing strategy should be discussed and structured to cast a wide net and might include advertising, open houses, the multiple listing service, signage, fact sheets, color flyers, and so on.

Your Realtor will complete the listing agreement based on your input, so you may want to take time before you meet to consider your response to each section of the contract. The more prepared you are, the less likely you’ll have a misunderstanding down the road.

BUYING A HOME IN 2020 Or any other year, for the record!

The fact is, buying a home, no matter when you are planning to do so, relies on only two major factors that the potential homebuyer needs to make when making the decision:

Factor 1:

The first (and the most important of the two) is answering the question ‘Do you love (or can you) love this house and make it your home?’ This is important to know as if you cannot answer ‘Yes’, you will never be happy with the house, no matter what you do to try to make it your own, you will not be happy. One of the things we notice when showing homes and we know that this is the house for our clients is to watch their reaction as they walk into the home. We are seeing more and more listings coming on to the market. As we get closer to the spring, this trend normally continues. There will be a home, I am sure, that will come onto market that meets your needs. If it is not perfect today, you will be able to make it so. As has been said during the search for the perfect home; ‘Perfect is the enemy of good’. This means that if you are searching for the perfect home, you will pass by ones that are very good. At some point you may wish to return to the very good home that you passed by, and it will be gone.

Factor 2:

For many, this is the limiting factor: ‘Can I afford it?’ It is often easy to find a home that meets or exceeds all your expectations. Much of the time, these things also exceed the comfort level of the Buyer regarding the payment. Finding the home that meets your needs can often be problematic for the homebuyer, assessing what they want versus what they need.

Sorting that out can be especially difficult if spouses have different priorities, that can cause problems. Once the problems of finance are settled, you can then select a home that will fit in the mix for location, style, amenities and all of the rest.

Your mortgage lender will assist you on the costs of the loan and how it fits into your overall budget which includes all of your day-to- day expenses, bills, cars and other loans and other obligations that you may have.

Buying a home is actually pretty simple if you can get both of these factors under control.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States.

2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly.

3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye.

4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience.

5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use.

6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet.

7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period.

8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing.

9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational".

10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent.

11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options.

12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).
