My Marketing Approach.

05

Preparation 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.

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!

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!

06

Home Analysis.

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”!

07

Preparation of Sale.

Quality Visuals | Premium Content.

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.

Premium Listings.

Online Marketing Website Marketing Syndication to Over 100 Websites!

Promoting your home

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.

08

Preparing for Sale.

Market Strategy 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.

Website Marketing.

My custom website, SamuelHwang.kw.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.

09

Preparation for Sale.

Website Marketing.

Many people are visual by nature—we print professional, photoheavy brochures that buyers can take with them after touring your property as a reminder of what they loved about your home.

Promoting Your Home.

11

Promoting Your Home.

Social Media Presence.

Direct Mailings.

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!

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.

12

Intelligent Pricing.

14

The Right Price.

Vital to Success.

Why: 1. A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market.

2. The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value.

3. Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong activity.

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

Weeks on the Market.

Below is a numerical distribution and visualization of the average weeks on the market and how quickly homes sell.

15

Importance of Pricing.

Market Strategy Overview.

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.

Percentage of Viewings.

Numerical Visualization.

16

Commission Distribution.

How we work together.

Real Estate Agents.

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.

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.

Brokers.

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.

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.

17

Overview of Distribution.

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.

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.

18

Ask Your Realtor®

19

01 How long have you been selling real estate?

I have been licensed since 2008.

03 What is your marketing plan?

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

02 Are you a full-time agent?

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 full-time.

04 How do you determine the value of my home?

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

05 How much real estate do you sell annually?

I close an average of 10-11 properties per year and growing.

20

06 How many homes have you sold?

I've closed 55 listings since I started with more growth expected.

08 What do you do to stay up on market trends?

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.

07 How do you handle the workload?

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

09 Will you help me stage my home?

Absolutely! In our market, staging isn’t just a nice-to-have feature; it’s a must-have. I will consult with you to help you prepare your home so you can maximize the sale price.

10 Why should I hire you?

Because being a REALTOR® means so much more than listing your home. I have always made customer service my top priority. My goal is to make this life-changing experience one of the smoothest possible. It would be my honor to work for you.

A Sound Decision An Important foundation An Investment 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.

05

Together we will make it a reality.
