MY MARKETING APPROACH

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE

My marketing process begins long before your home hits the market. I believe that good communication and advance preparation are crucial to the process leading up to actually listing your home. This is why I employ the following in order to present your home in the best possible light to prospective buyers so it sells in the shortest amount of time, and for top dollar:

Home Analysis Most homebuyers prefer a home that looks new, or has been recently upgraded; however, many homes that come on to the market are not updated! Because of this, homebuyers will pay a premium for a home that has been remodeled or recently updated. To help you get the most value out of your home, I offer expert advice on where to best spend any time or money updating to make sure you get the maximum return on your investment when selling!

Staging I want your home to be shown in the best possible light! My goal is to make a prospective buyer take notice of your home and compel them to take a look at it in person; a professional stager will define the spaces in your home to create that scenario! My stagers will visit your home before the photography session and will discuss subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways to make your property stand out in photos, videos and in person to ultimately inspire potential buyers to imagine themselves owning your home. Staging a home can help to sell it faster, and for more money. According to a 2018 survey by Home Staging Resource*, 85% of staged homes sold for 6-15% more than homes that had not been professionally staged. Moreover, “68% of those staged homes sold for at least 9% more than their ‘un-staged neighbor’s’ home”!

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE

Professional Photography If I know one thing, it’s that professional photography is extremely important! Since the majority of buyers begin their home searches online, it’s imperative that the first impressions of a home be one that inspires them to want to see that home in person.

3-D Virtual Tours/Video Tours In addition to still photographs, we also offer video home tours and virtual tours using the latest technology if applicable, enabling potential buyers to feel like they are virtually stepping right into your home and tour through every room.

PROMOTING YOUR HOME Online Marketing Once your home is ready for the market, it’s time to promote it to buyers and their agents everywhere! Keller Williams has joined the industry’s most extensive online marketing program, resulting in exposure on up to 750 different websites.

Syndication to Over 100 Websites!

Website Marketing My custom website, CharlesAcobaTeam.com will promote your home as one of our “Featured Listings" and allow buyers to view all of the great photos and info about your home.

PROMOTING YOUR HOME Feature Brochures Many people are visual by nature—we print professional, photo-heavy brochures that buyers can take with them after touring your property as a reminder of what they loved about your home.

PROMOTING YOUR HOME Social Media Presence We’re on social media, using paid posts to advertise your property to a targeted audience; these social media campaigns put your home in front of thousands of buyers who may not have seen it otherwise!

Direct Mailings Our direct mail programs target buyers, neighbors, agents and referral sources through “Just Listed “ and “Just Sold” postcards, market statistics and analysis, and quarterly mailings.

INTELLIGENT PRICING

THE RIGHT PRICE IS IMPORTANT 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 fails to generate strong activity.

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

WEEKS ON THE MARKET

PRICE RIGHT ATTRACT BUYERS

Pricing your property competitively will generate the most activity from agents and buyers.

Pricing your property too high may make it necessary to drop the price below market value to compete with new, well priced listings.

COMMISSION DISTRIBUTION

Real Estate Agents

Brokers

Nearly nine out of 10 real estate agents work on commission, and are paid only when the transaction closes. Except for the legal profession, real estate agents are the only fiduciaries and agents who work this way.

According to licensing law, only licensed brokers can serve as fiduciaries. They have “agents” or licensed salespeople who work for them, but they have the legal responsibilities of operating the brokerage.

To simplify how commissions are routed, the real estate industry customarily allows all sales commissions to be paid out of the seller’s proceeds, according to the terms of the listing agreement.

The salesperson license allows salespeople to serve as agents of the broker. They can negotiate contracts, but the seller is actually negotiating with the broker, by proxy. It’s the broker’s company name and signature on the listing agreement.

Distribution Once the home is listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), the listing broker discloses the terms of the commissions to other competing brokers, so they will bring their buyers to the listing. When the buyer’s broker presents a contract to the seller, it will include a provision to collect their share of the sales commission, as offers by the listing agent in the MLS. That means a commission can be split as many as four ways: Listing broker or agent · Listing salesperson Buyer’s broker or agent · Buyer’s salesperson At closing, the listing agent is paid by the escrow agent out of the seller’s proceeds, or a day or two later when the buyer’s loan is funded by the lender. The listing agent, in turn, pays the buyer’s agent his or her share of the sales commission.

ASK YOUR REALTOR®

10 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR REALTOR® We plan to be your partner when you sell your home. But if you’re interviewing others, make sure to ask them the following questions.

ONE

SIX

How long have you been selling real estate?

How many homes have you sold?

I have been licensed since 2016.

41 closed listings.

TWO

SEVEN

Are you a full-time agent?

How do you handle the workload?

I sell real estate full-time. To understand the market and to be able to provide the expertise and knowledge of the local market, a great REALTOR must work fulltime.

I handle everything and utilize marketing and admin assistants to handle smaller day-to-day tasks while I service the big picture items.

THREE

EIGHT

What is your marketing plan?

What do you do to stay up on market trends?

I employ the top real estate Internet sites, create professional printed materials, use social media platforms, and, most importantly, talk to REALTORS® and potential buyers so your home stays positioned first.

I watch the market using tools like Brokermetrics and, of course, the MLS. I attend Mastermind sessions with agents who, like us, are in the top 3-5% of REALTORS® nationally.

FOUR

NINE

How do you determine the value of my home?

Will you help me stage my home?

My experience and sales volume allows me to Absolutely! In our market, staging isn’t just a nice-to-have feature; it’s a mustaccurately determine your home’s market have. I will consult with you to help you value. prepare your home so you can maximize the sale price.

FIVE

TEN

How much real estate do you sell per year?

Why should I hire you?

I close an average of 12-15 listings per year.

Because I don’t believe in waiting. When you hire a mechanic to fix your car, they fix your car. When you hire a REALTOR® to sell your home, that’s what you expect.

I GOT A GUY My goal is to be a resource and go-to for everything you ever need for real estate.

For instance, I have a network of professionals that include:

FOR YOUR PURCHASE Lenders Inspectors Financial Planners Attorneys Home Warranty Companies

FOR YOUR HOME Heating + Cooling Specialists Plumbers Stone + Granite Electricians Housekeepers Handymen Roofers Painters Interior Designers Landscapers Carpenters Masonry Flooring Specialists

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“

I asked Charles to help sell my condo in the South Loop and throughout the entire process he was friendly, responsive, and transparent. Selling a home is a big life event and can also be very stressful. Charles used his real estate and business experience to help us get through the highs and lows of the process. He went above and beyond the expectations of what other agents would do. I would recommend Charles to others for their real estate needs as well as use him again for any of ours again in the future.

”

- Sold a Condo home in 2021 in Chicago, IL.

“

I have been using Charles for about 5 years but known him for 20 years. Assisted me in selling my place in 2018 within 2 weeks above list price. When I needed help looking for a new home in 2021 he came to the service again. With sending me 40+ listings, showing me 15 homes, and 4 months later - found me a nice place in Chicago.

Very patient, humble, no pressure, and surrounds himself with a great team (shout out to Joao for helping as well). Would definitely recommend for not just houses, but also the Concierge service that Charles & his team showcase.

A SOUND DECISION

Investing in a home is one of the most important decisions you'll make. So much more than a roof over your head, your home is where life unfolds and memories are made, all while building a financial foundation for your future.

Deciding how you'll navigate your journey to homeownership is equally critical to the agent you work with. As someone who's been in your spot before, I'm familiar with what's cycling through your mind, and as a real estate agent, I've mastered the ins and outs of the buying process. When you work with me, you'll benefit from my experience, and together we'll work toward making sound, smart decisions for your future.

YOUR NEEDS COME

Visualize your dream scenario for buying your home.

What's the one thing that has to happen to make that dream scenario a reality?

How can I make that happen for you?

Your needs drive how and when we find your next home. From this day forward, everything I do will be motivated by your goals and how you imagine your life taking place in your new home. Once I get an understanding of where you see yourself, finding your dream home will move quickly, and with minimal interruption to your daily life.

Why is that important to you?

If we could add just one more thing to make this process even better, what would it be?

These safety measures are standard for all transactions, but I am more than happy to honor any additional precautions you have in mind.
