THE PROCESS

the

LAUER REALTY GROUP HOME SELLING PROCESS

1. PROPERTY OVERVIEW The first step is to conduct a thorough assessment of the property and its history, improvements, and features. I seek to fully understand your goals with the sale, and will guide you on what we need to do, as well as what we should avoid. .

5. MARKETING From the MLS, to syndicated websites and social media, your home is marketed thoroughly online as well as in print.

9. OFFERS & CONTINGENCIES Once negotiations are finalized, we reach an “accepted offer”. Now, your property is “under contract” and we start working towards closing. Our office will stay on top of all tasks and deadlines from all contingencies included in the offer.

6. SHOWINGS & OPEN HOUSES

2. DETERMINE VALUE & NEEDS

An analysis of comparable properties, neighborhood inventory, and price per square foot will determine optimal list price. My goal is to match your needs when it comes to selling your home, and the ideal timeline for the sale.

You can expect showings to start according to our agreed upon timeline.

Through our showingtime program, you will be able to approve apts and keep track of all activity. An Open House will also typically be scheduled within the first week on the market.

7. FEEDBACK

3. EXCLUSIVE LISTING CONTRACT

Once your price and timeline has been determined and agreed upon, an exclusive listing contract is signed.

4. PREPARE TO SHOW I will guide you on steps to take to have your property show it’s greatest potential. We’ll go over appropriate enhancements, staging, and preparing for professional photography and showings.

As feedback is received from showings and the open house, we will discuss if anything needs to be adjusted to better meet the needs of potential buyers, while still meeting your goals.

8.NEGOTIATE

We are expert negotiators and know how to navigate this process. Whether dealing with multiple offers, or a single buyer, we will use our market knowledge and expertise so that you receive the best terms for you.

10. INFORMATION & THE CLOSING As we move forward, all necessary information is given to the title company and we will schedule the closing. This is your final step in the process where the paperwork is completed, the buyer takes ownership of the home, and you receive the proceeds from the sale!

GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE THIS GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT IS PART OF OUR EXCLUSIVE MARKETING SYSTEM. IT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

BROKER MARKET ANALYSIS We will do a complete and thorough analysis of your home and the current real estate market. With this knowledge, I will work with you to determine the price range and marketing strategy which will result in the timely sale of your home at the best possible price.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR HOME

To present your home at its very best to potential buyers, we photograph your home inside and out.

These photographs will be used on the MLS, websites, and in all of our print marketing. We do our best to photograph on a sunny day and we always take our time to capture and edit the best photos of your property. A picture is worth a thousand words.

ADVERTISING/MARKETING TIMELINE I will advertise your property until there is an accepted offer to purchase. The advertising shall resume in the event the offer to purchase contract does not result in a closing. The Broker does reserve the right to substitute the advertising, home warranties, trade names, marketing methods, and referral networks covered in this agreement.

FOR SALE SIGN

A Lauer Realty Group “For Sale” sign will be installed on your property soon after the listing begins.

This sign is the single most effective marketing tool in selling your home.

HOME WARRANTY PROGRAM A home warranty program is available for you to purchase in order to provide protection for you throughout the listing contract and to provide the Buyer coverage for one year after closing. I can provide a brochure that explains the program and the cost. This can be a strong tool for marketing your home to buyers who may be concerned with the potential for mechanical problems that can occur in an older or existing home.

MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE

Your home will be placed on the South Central Wisconsin Multiple Listing Service (MLS) network. This network advertises your home and invites any cooperating Brokers to sell it to their buyers. The MLS is available to the public through www.wisconsinhomes.com

INTERNET

Your home will be presented on numerous websites including but not limited to: www.LauerRealtyGroup.com - Your home is immediately presented on our web site. This means your home can be seen by anyone who is looking at any of our listings, or using our web site for resources we provide. www.wisconsinhomes.com - Public access to the Multiple Listing Service - this site generates interest in your home with photos and a wealth of information, from comprehensive home searching to an exhaustive real estate glossary. www.Zillow.com / www.Realtor.com - These websites are nationally promoted and are utilized by local and out of town home seekers. Your property will be promoted as a showcase listing and will receive additional exposure with Lauer Realty Group.

Other realtor and syndicated sites - Your home will be syndicated out to a multitude of other realtor/brokerage websites via the MLS for marketing.

WEBLINE

Information and a virtual tour of your property is available 24 hours a day on the internet. This is a dynamic way for interested buyers to obtain information on your home at any time. Additionally, they can contact us directly from our website to ask questions or to set up a showing.

NATIONWIDE REFERRAL AND RELOCATION NETWORK We work with national referral networks to make information on your home available to many out of town buyers. This network also means that Brokers across the country put me in touch with individuals and families that are relocating to our area. In addition, we work with an extensive number of area corporations, industries, and employers to meet their employee relocation needs.

HOME BOOKS AND CARDS I will prepare a home book/brochure that points out the special features and highlights of your home.

These will be distributed at open houses and to potential buyers and other Brokers to keep after seeing your home. This book not only showcases your home’s features, it helps interested Buyers remember your home more than others they have seen. The home book will provide a positive answer to many of the Buyer’s questions that often come up during and after the showing. It includes (as appropriate): recent updates and renovations, energy costs, and school district information. With your approval, cards will be placed in your home to highlight its special features.

MORTGAGE & FINANCING CONSULTATION With an understanding of current interest rates and various financial programs available, we can prequalify potential buyers when possible, and suggest alternative mortgage financing that is available in the community.

COMMUNICATION/AVAILABILITY I will constantly monitor conditions and communicate with other agents who show your property. I will contact you at regular intervals in person, by phone, mail or email to inform you of the reactions or comments buyers had about your home, and advise you as to any changes in the market. If you have additional questions or would like more information, I will be ready and available to assist you. Should I be out of town, you will be made aware and will have one of my associates working with you during that time.

CLOSING CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION I will work with the title company to coordinate the preparation of the closing statement and other documents necessary to close your transaction. I will also coordinate schedules with attorneys, lenders and others to complete the sale of your home.

GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE The Broker shall carry out the terms of this agreement at the Broker’s discretion during the term of the listing contract. The Seller understands and agrees that while the Broker will substantially adhere to the above outline of services, there may be deviations due to seller request, holidays or other.

CANCELLATION POLICY You may request a cancellation of the listing contract at any time after 30 days from when the listing contract is signed and if we breach this agreement by failing to comply with its material continuing requirements. In order to receive a cancellation agreement, you must first mail us a written statement setting forth the reason for the cancellation request. If we do not remedy the breach within 10 days after receipt of said notice, this contract shall be canceled at midnight of the 10th day. Should such cancellation take place, there will be no penalty to you; however, if a sale is consummated to someone introduced to your property during the period of the Listing Contract, Lauer Realty Group shall receive the commission in accordance with the Listing Contract.

NOTICES Any required notice must be addressed to Lauer Realty Group, Liz Lauer, 2229 Atwood Ave, Madison, WI 53704. Any notice to you shall be addressed to your address in the Listing Contract.

PRICE EVALUATION THE COMPARABLE MARKET ANALYSIS

How will I determine the value of your home?

My price evaluation uses many of the same variables which an appraiser utilizes - the correlations between location, style, size, and condition of homes.

I will review the properties in your area which are currently on the market, pending sale, or recently sold. Although these properties may differ from your home, they do provide a basis for comparison in determining what the current market is willing to pay and the fair market value. I use this information, combined with a tour of your property to determine the current marketing price that is appropriate for your home.

My Marketing Plan and Guaranteed Performance Agreement highlight the actions that will bring the best response to your property when it is placed on the market.

Please understand that a Comparable Market Analysis is based on the current market conditions and is not to be construed as indicative of future market values.

What influences our pricing decision?

The seller’s motivation Current market conditions The home’s assets and updates My experience and knowledge of the local market

THE DEAL

OFFERS Price is just one of many considerations when deciding which offer is best for your home. Here are some of the other factors that matter:

CONTINGENCIES

The fewer contingencies on an offer the better. Shorter time periods are also valuable.

CASH BUYER

A cash offer is usually more appealing than a finance offer as the seller doesn’t need to worry about the bank approving the loan.

PRE-APPROVAL/PRE-UNDERWRITTEN

Assures home sellers that the buyer can get the loan they need.

LOAN TYPE

A conventional loan is often the least complicated, which can be an appealing choice for sellers. An FHA loan can cause delays because they require certain repairs and approvals.

CLOSING TIMELINE

You might need to close quickly to move on to the next adventure, or you might need to extend the closing to allow time for the next home to be ready. Choosing the offer with the closing time that fits your needs will be most attractive to you.

CLOSING COSTS

Sometimes an offer comes in high, but the buyer asks you to pay a percentage of the buyer’s closing costs.

REPAIR REQUESTS If the home needs some repairs, but you don’t have the time or money to do them, a buyer who is willing to do them for you might be what you need.

OFFER PRICE Of course, price matters too! If a high offer will cost you more in closing costs, repairs, or other factors—then it probably won’t be the better offer.

NEGOTIATIONS

after an offer is submitted: WE CAN:

THE BUYER CAN THEN:

OFFER ACCEPTANCE:

•Accept the offer

•Accept the counter offer

•Decline the offer

•Decline the counter offer

Once you sign the binding counter or purchase agreement that officially places your property under contract! This period of time is called the contingency period.

If the offer doesn’t meet your needs and there is no need to further negotiate.

•Counter the offer If the offer could be ideal with some changes, you can offer different terms to the buyer.

•Counter the offer You can negotiate back and forth as many times as needed until you can reach an agreement or someone chooses to walk away.

Now any contingencies such as inspections, appraisals, etc. will take place.

APPRAISAL COMES IN BELOW SALE PRICE •Renegotiate with the buyer •Cancel and re-list

The escrow officer will look over the contract and identify what payments are owed by who, prepare documents for closing, facilitates the closing, makes sure all payoffs are completed, the buyer’s title is recorded, and that you receive any payoffs that are due to you.

YOUR COSTS Seller commonly pays: • Mortgage balance • Any claims against your property • Unpaid assessments on your property • Real estate commissions • Title insurance policy • Home warranty

WHAT TO BRING Sellers need to bring to closing: • A government picture ID/passport • House keys • Garage door openers • Mailbox and any other spare keys • A checkbook

CLOSE ACCOUNTS Cancel utilities and close those accounts. Keep a list of phone numbers for each of your utility companies.

CHANGE ADDRESS Submit a change-of-address form to the post office.

REVIEWS “Andrea is very knowledgeable with local market. She provided great insight on the properties available. She made sure she understood my needs and worked with me to get the best house that fit.

She did a great job assisting with staging the house, setting a good price, and getting solid offers and being there to assist getting it closed.”

“This was my first home buying experience so I was not that savvy in my assessment of each property. I had to look at a ton of houses before I started to feel comfortable with what was feeling right to me. Andrea was very patient and stuck with us on our lengthy search. She was always very prompt responding to our calls and emails and made herself readily available for showings. She was honest with her opinions of the properties we saw and kept our priorities in mind. She got us in to see the home we purchased just before it went on the market which was critical in the competitive downtown area we were looking in. I really enjoyed working with Andrea and would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Andrea was incredibly helpful and responsive in helping us purchase our first home! She helped us navigate an incredibly competitive market and we can’t recommend her enough!”

“As first time home buyers, we could not have appreciated Andrea’s enthusiasm, flexibility and responsiveness more! She was great from start to finish and walked us through everything so we could understand it. She was incredibly energetic from the moment we met her and was willing to take whatever approach we wanted. I felt as though she was always in our corner, working with us to get what we wanted.

We will definitely recommend Andrea to my family and friends who are looking to purchase a home.”

“We would both like to express our extreme pleasure with our experience working with Andrea. You have been incredibly helpful and patient working with us. I am amazed that you all were available virtually any hour of the day, and how quickly things are being done.

I’m still abbergasted at the fact that that 8:45 pm we decided to put an offer in, and by 9:45 that same night the sellers agent had the o er in hand.

I’ve never worked with a real estate office before, and in the back of my head I figured it would be like working with a combination of lawyers and car salesmen...you all dispelled that idea, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with you and your office again.”
