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

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, MikAtYourService.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.

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.

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?

GETTING TO KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Your neighborhood is an extension of your home. Neighbors, surroundings, and access to everyday things can and should factor into your decision. Based on what you've shared so far, I pulled real-time stats and insights to compare a few areas. Once we narrow down the neighborhoods you're most interested in, I'll send you information on homes that look like a good fit. Always remember that you can search, save, and organize your favorites on my site, JoeAriano.com.
MAP YOUR MOVE When is the best time to buy? There's only one right answer: When you find a home that you love. Inventory and the economy will wax and wane, but when you find a house you can see yourself in, the timing is just right.

MY KW APP With my KW App, you can safely search for your next home from the comfort of your current one. Search properties via zip code, neighborhood, or school district and schedule a virtual tour of the ones you love directly in the app!
SOCIALLY DISTANT TOURS Want to see a property in person before making an offer? Reach out to schedule a private tour following these social distancing guidelines: Maximum of four people per appointment (five including myself) General symptoms assessment upon arrival (including temperature check) Masks to be worn over the nose and mouth at all times while on property Disposable shoe coverings to be worn at all times while inside the house Appointments will last no more than an hour Majority of discussion will take place in well-ventilated areas High-touch surfaces will be disinfected after showing All follow-up paperwork will be conducted digitally
CONTACTLESS TRANSACTIONS All showing requests, offers, and as much of the closing process as possible will be handled digitally. Any necessary in-person interactions will take place in well-ventilated areas following social distancing guidelines.
These safety measures are standard for all transactions, but I am more than happy to honor any additional precautions you have in mind.
THE
