#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

A NOTE FROM BRIAN TO YOU Dear Homeowner, I would like the opportunity to help you sell your home. There are a few key points that I believe set “Brian Sells Pittsburgh” apart from other real estate professionals because I have marketing tools that answer the questions all sellers have. 1. How do we get the highest and best price in the shortest amount of time? 2. How do we attract the modern buyer today? 3. How are we going to survive the stress of trying to sell our home? I do more than sell homes, I problem-solve by creating solutions. I am the space between where you are and where you want to be. Many agents think their most important job is to satisfy the customer. I believe that is the MINIMUM requirement for staying in business. I work tirelessly to improve my systems, processes, tools, and services to go well beyond the standard level of service provided by most agents. I want to make you so satisfied with your real estate experience that you would gladly refer “BrianSellsPittsburgh” to your friends and family. I truly am looking forward to working with you. All my best,

Brian Teyssier

DETERMINING THE VALUE OF THE HOME - 25 -

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

THE OBJECTIVE Our mutual objective is to sell your home:

FOR THE HIGHEST PRICE » IN THE SHORTEST TIME » MOST FAVORABLE TERMS Prior to any marketing strategies being implemented, it is critical to go through a process of discovery - determining the fair market value, surveying current market conditions, and reviewing the variety of factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.

- 26 -

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

INFLUENCES ON THE VALUE OF THE HOME With any marketing strategy, it is important to research the market conditions that are currently influencing the marketplace and the value of its products. “Market value” is the highest price at which a property will sell on the open market, given a reasonable time period to find a qualified buyer. What a property is truly worth - whether that is higher or lower than the selling price - and what a buyer is willing to pay for it is known as the “Fair Market Value,” and the buyer is influenced by the following criteria: • • • • • •

Location of the property Condition of the property Buyer demand Prices of similar properties on the market Recent sales of competitive properties Availability of financing

- 27 -

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

MAXIMIZING FAIR MARKET VALUE The following key factors affect the sale of your home and are, for the most part, in your control. Typically, market conditions are not in your control, but choosing to use an agent with extensive experience in the local market, a respected reputation, and who implements a proven, comprehensive marketing strategy could make all the difference in MAXIMIZING THE TRUE VALUE OF YOUR HOME.

MARKETING FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it will also be an emotional one. As your real estate professional, I have found the best way to sell a home is through partnership and teamwork - combining the understanding of your requirements and goals with my knowledge, expertise, effective marketing strategies, and extensive brokerage resources. TOGETHER WE WILL: • Prepare for the “Window of Opportunity” • Leverage the attributes of your location • Prepare and present your home ready for sale • Highlight your home’s features through professional photography • Showcase your home to the market through professional and strategic marketing • Maximize the exposure of your home through our extensive network • Leverage the brokerage’s reputation and recognition • Co-operate and communicate to maintain your home’s perception of value • Promote your home locally, nationally, and internationally • Maximize your home’s web exposure • Prepare your home so that it is always ready to be shown to potential buyers • Discuss and review the market’s analysis of your home - feedback is essential in knowing the perceived value and potential for negotiation. My real estate “lingo” is to help you through this process • Finalize your sale • Find your next dream home

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY The Window of Opportunity is the period in which your home will receive its maximum exposure - typically when your home is new on the market.

ACTIVITY (Amount of Interest)

To capitalize on this window, it is crucially important that your home is ready for sale, priced at the fair market value, and prepared to showcase its features and attributes. I will also implement a marketing strategy to increase your homeâ€™s exposure.

MARKETING YOUR LOCATION Three most important things to consider when buying a property are: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In fact, buyers are often attracted to a general location, a neighborhood, or even a certain street well before settling on a specific home. Understanding your location’s positives and negatives is important when determining price and is actually very significant in the marketing of your home. Misconceptions, preconceptions, and knowing the nuances of your home can make a significant difference in how a home is marketed, when it’s shown, and how its positioned - one man’s displeasure can be another’s delight!

An article recently published by NextPittsburgh.com, lists the 5 Pittsburgh neighborhoods first-time buyers should have their eye on. As a Pittsburgh real estate expert, Brian helped share his knowledge. The neighborhoods are: • Beechview • Greenfield • Shaler • Brighton Heights • Carrick

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

PREPARE TO PRESENT YOUR HOME

Preparing your home is one of the most difficult, emotional, and critical steps to maximizing its value - together we will review, recommend, prepare, and create an environment that is appropriate for the type of buyer looking to purchase your home. No matter how stunning, loved, or wellmaintained your home, it is important that it is viewed with critical objectivity, and whether it is simple changes or major repairs, these should be addressed before the home is listed for sale.

Real estate agents may have a new mantra for what sells homes: the kitchen, the kitchen, the kitchen. “More than any other part of the house, outdated kitchens are the biggest turn-off, and updated kitchens are the biggest turn-on,” said Brian Teyssier of RE/MAX Advanced, REALTORS, with offices in Sewickley and Robinson. “It’s a nobrainer... The kitchen is the No. 1 area that people are searching,” he said. When people check Zillow, Trulia, and other real estate websites, Teyssier said, “They should look to see if kitchen photos are prominently displayed. If the kitchen’s nice, it’ll be the second, third, or fourth photo you see. If not, it’ll be buried in the back,” he said.

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY Photography must reflect your property. Photos should be crisp, clear, properly lit, color-corrected, and showcase the home in the best way possible. Professional photographers provide highresolution photos that should be presented in a homeâ€™s marketing materials. Whether print or web, these photos are often the first impression that a potential buyer will receive. A photo shoot is the time when a home must shine - both figuratively and literally. A fully prepared home, clean, tidy, with clear sight lines, and shot in its best natural light, will speak volumes to the viewer before and after the home is visited. DRONE FOOTAGE: Take advantage of new technology, especially if your buyer is likely to be from outside your local area. Brian uses his personal drone to market every listing because he feels that the property will stand out to prospective buyers. The visual advantages impact the way luxury homes are presented on the MLS, in print, and in social media marketing.

#WhoYouWorkWithMatters

PROFESSIONAL & STRATEGIC MARKETING Sophisticated and professionally prepared marketing is essential to maximizing your homeâ€™s exposure, and requires more than just listing the home for sale on the Internet and the local Realtors listing service; it needs to be a carefully prepared and strategically implemented plan. Your home must become a highly prized item that should be launched on the market with the maximum impact to create the right exposure and reach the right buyers.

YARD SIGNS & DIRECTIONALS The trusted yard sign is the #1 way to show your home is for sale. It is fast, effective, and easy to spot. Directionals help guide people to the home. Brian suggests adding solar powered lights on yard signs in the winter to make your home stand out. PUBLIC & PRIVATE SHOWINGS Broker tours and open houses are ways that other real estate agents see your home and recommend it to their potential buyers. This is why preparing the home is so important - sometimes real estate agents are more particular than the buyer. LOCAL ADVERTISEMENTS For some homes, advertising locally can be the best way to generate interest, especially when a home has features that are particularly important to the local community. - 36 -

Referrals are a simple and effective way to help people find homes to buy and homes to sell. VIRTUAL TOURS & ONLINE VIDEO MARKETING Creating a digital experience and footprint is an integral part of advertising in the 21st century.

PROFESSIONAL PRINTED MATERIALS & DIRECT MAIL The power of showcasing your home and its unique features through professional photography and sophisticated marketing materials is crucial to setting your home apart from the competition. Professional promotional materials that feature your home and are mailed to your neighbors, potential buyers, and other Realtors are some of the most powerful ways to spread the message that your home is for sale. Your neighbors will be first to tell their friends and family about your home – they already love their community, so they are your biggest advocates! Knowing where the potential buyers are locally is powerful – after all 78% of homeowners purchase within close proximity of their present home.

SHOWING THE HOME Your home needs to be ‘show ready’ at all times – this is difficult to balance when you are still living in the home. However, if all the preparation is done up front – unnecessary items removed, space has been created, and a plan implemented for the best times to show the home – then the final prep and inviting touches are easy to add around your busy schedule. From boosting curb appeal to highlighting focal points, adding ‘lived-in’ vignettes, letting in the light, adding touches of nature, moving your favorite chair out of the way to keep a good flow between rooms, and even adding inviting just-baked cookies or scented candles all help in showing the home to its best potential.
