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. We seek to fully understand your sale requirements, and will guide you on what we need to do, as well as what we should avoid. Minh will assess your home to evaluate if there are any small repairs/painting jobs that we should take on.

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. Our 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 right away after your home goes on the market.

Through our showing line program, you will be able to approve these and keep track of all activity. An Open House will also typically be scheduled within the first weeks to market.

7. FEEDBACK

3. EXCLUSIVE LISTING CONTRACT

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

4. PREPARE TO SHOW We guide you on steps to take to have your home show its 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 done to make the property more attractive for 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, we’ll 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 We 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. We 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 We 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 We will constantly monitor conditions and communicate with other agents who show your property.

We 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, we will be ready and available to assist you. Should we 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 We will work with the title company to coordinate the preparation of the closing statement and other documents necessary to close your transaction. We 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 we determine the value of your home?

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

We 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. We’ll use this information, combined with a tour of your property to determine the current marketing price that is appropriate for your home.

Our 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 Results and insights from CMA Agent experience and knowledge of the local market

Viewers are able to experience the layout and flow of your home in a more interactive way than static photos.

They are interactive by design, which means users spend more time exploring than they would look at photos. The more invested in the interaction potential buyers feel, the more likely to take the next step in their purchase journey.

REVIEWS "Tobi is p h e n o m e n a l...! She has helped our family of four (the parents plus two adult children who settled in Madison) transition through several home purchases and sales; all with differing needs and questions and issues and at varying points in the market.

Thank goodness we had her expertise to fall back on each time. We put her through the ringer and she never complained or made us feel like we were asking or wanting too much. Tobi just continued to point us in a forward direction with good, sound advice to keep all moving to a successful conclusion."

"It is a tough market these days. She had calmness, patience and honesty. She was also very responsive and timely in her responses Thanks for all you did."

“Minh, provided steady positive support with kindness and a smile. Selling my home happened to coincided with the death of my mom. Minh, rapport with my circumstances kept me at ease and confident while explaining the world of selling my home.”

"Tobi was absolutely great for us. She was responsive to every question we had, and could get things done. She was always available to answer any questions and help us through selling our first home."

“Working with Minh and Tobi was such a pleasure. I was a very needy customer and they never dropped the ball. The house sold as soon as it went on the market, in large part to their knowledge and experience. When we needed to look at homes they gave up time whenever we needed and worked around our busy schedule. We probably looked at over 30 homes before finding the perfect one. Thanks for all your ongoing help and support Minh and Tobi. If you are selling, buying or both these two are the only ones you need to work with in realty.”

"Our experience with Tobi was fantastic! We entered the market in the midst of high competition and never-before-seen low inventory levels, so we knew it would be a tough challenge. Tobi was patient and diligent in making sure we got in as early as possible for showings, and was a great help with formulating offers to be in competition. Our offer that ended up being accepted was a whirlwind, competing with a lot of high offers and some suspected cash offers.

Tobi was quick to communicate changes we made, and was helpful advising us on what we should/should not change with our offer. I would highly recommend Tobi as a realtor for anywhere in the greater Madison area.

She is responsive, kind, and really understands what her clients are looking for. 5 stars all the way!"
