DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME - 15 -

THE OBJECTIVE Our mutual objective is to sell your home:

For the highest possible price

Âť

In the shortest amount of time

Âť

With the 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, understanding the barometer of current market conditions, and reviewing the variety of factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.

- 16 -

INFLUENCES ON THE VALUE OF YOUR 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” as 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

- 17 -

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 a 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 • Finalize your sale • Find your next dream home

- 20 -

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.

In order to capitalize on this window, it is crucially important that your home is ready for sale, priced at Fair Market Value, prepared to showcase its features and attributes, and a marketing strategy has been implemented to further increase

its exposure.

MARKETING YOUR LOCATION The three most important criteria to consider when buying a property: 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 are important when determining price, and 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!

- 22 -

PREPARE TO PRESENT YOUR HOME First impressions are lasting, therefore it is important that your home is presented to potential buyers so that it not only shows the home well, but entices potential buyers to start envisioning it as a place to call their own.

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 well-maintained 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.

- 23 -

- 24 -

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 high-resolution photos that should be presented in a home’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.

Take advantage of new technology to showcase the true essence of the property within its environment, especially since your buyer is likely to be from outside of your local area. Lifestyle videos provide a realistic depiction of the intended space and livability.

- 25 -

PROFESSIONAL & STRATEGIC MARKETING Sophisticated and professionally prepared marketing is essential to maximizing your homes exposure and requires more than just listing your home for sale on the Internet and 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 AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE: 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.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SHOWINGS: Broker tours, Open Houses, and Caravans are great 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 buyers.

NETWORKING AND REFERRALS: Real estate agents have a large database at their disposal, especially their networks with other agents. Referrals are a simple and effective way to help people find homes to buy and homes to sell.

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 if 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.

- 30 -

MARKET ANALYSIS The market analysis report is compiled from a system that tracks your showings, all Realtor and buyer feedback, as well as my marketing effectiveness on your home. This report provides you an in-depth analysis and a comprehensive list of actions, recommendations, and objectives.

Selling your home is important, therefore it is equally important to ensure that its sale potential is maximized - whether that requires further changes to showcase your home more effectively, having additional open houses, changing the price point, increasing the marketing exposure, or understanding the potential of multiple buyers.

- 31 -

FINALIZING THE SALE A myriad of details must be attended to before the sale becomes final including offers, counter offers, inspections, disclosures, contingencies, loan documents, insurance, mortgage approval, and escrow items. This final step can be overwhelming with all its moving parts.

Whatever the next step may be, know that I am here to guide you through this final process - to keep in constant communication, track the proceeding, and to keep things on schedule.

- 32 -

LEVERAGE MARKETING TO BUY YOUR DREAM HOME If you are looking to buy or sell another property, let my knowledge of your requirements, needs, likes, and dislikes be the foundation of a new search - from determining the perfect location to finding your next dream home.

In the world of real estate, it takes more than just searching for a home on the Internet, so allow my innovative marketing strategies, extensive network of connections, and exceptional knowledge open the right doors.
