A N IN TROD UCTI ON Dear Sally Lew, This complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) was created especially for you to establish the value of your home in the present market and thereby determine the price at which it should be marketed. I have compared and reviewed your home against other properties currently on the market, whether for sale, under agreement or recently sold. While your home is undoubtably unique, analyzing the market by looking for homes that have similar style, location, features and/or condition provides a great insight that can be leveraged to maximize the potential value of your home. The comparative process known as the “market approach to value” is widely used by appraisers and agents. It is recognized and accepted as the reliable method of valuing residential real estate. When selling properties, it is critical to not only appreciate the statistical value but also maximize the opportunity as well as the intrinsic and emotional value. I have included an overview of my professional commitment of service, my brokerage’s worldwide connectivity and our dedication of ensuring that your home receives the most sophisticated strategies and solutions through our innovative platform of services. I look forward to working with you. Regards,
Hollie Frey — Hollie Frey

DISCOVER A NEW LEVEL
OF MARKETING FOR YOUR HOME
MARKETIN G F OR M AXIM UM EXPOSURE Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it can also be an emotional one. As a REALTOR®, 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: Facebook, Hollie’s website, Zillow, Redfin, MLS, MLS Caravan Broker Magazine, Email blasts, “Just Listed” postcards, electronic LA Times • Leverage the brokerage’s reputation and recognition • Cooperate 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 to knowing the perceived value and potential for negotiation • Finalize your sale • Find your next dream home
T H E W IN D OW OF OPPORTUN I TY 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 is implemented to further increase its exposure.

MA R K ETIN G YOUR LOC ATI ON According to real estate convention, the three most important criteria 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 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 it is positioned — one man’s displeasure can be another’s delight!
P R EPARE TO PRESENT YOUR H OM E First impressions are lasting. 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 you view it with critical objectivity and whether it needs simple changes or major repairs, these should be addressed before the home is listed. Clear away clutter, stage living and dining areas, clear all bedrooms and add new curtains, clear and clean all bathrooms, add fresh flowers, candles and accessories where necessary to Cochran home.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY Photography must reflect your property. Whether print or web, these photos are often the first impression that a potential buyer will receive. 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 your local area. Lifestyle videos provide a realistic depiction of the intended space and livability. 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.
P R OFESSION AL A ND ST R AT EGIC M ARKE TI NG Sophisticated and professionally prepared marketing is essential to maximizing your home’s exposure and requires more than just listing the property for sale on the Internet and REALTORS® listing service. It needs to be a carefully prepared, strategically implemented plan. Your home must become a highly prized item, launched on the market with 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. Directional signs help guide people to the home. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SHOWINGS Broker tours, Open Houses, and Caravans 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 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.
NET WORKING AND REFERR ALS Real estate agents have a large database at their disposal, particularly their networks with other agents. Referrals are especially important in the luxury market, as you will want to work with a well-respected agent with an extensive network of contacts. 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.
WEB E XPOSURE 95% of buyers look at homes online as their first step in the home buying process. This trend will only increase over time. Placing your home online allows the home’s exposure to be seen locally, nationally, and internationally, whether it is on a computer, tablet, or cell phone. VIRTUAL TOURS / ONLINE VIDEO M ARKETING Creating a digital experience and footprint is an integral part of advertising in the 21st century.
P R O FESSION AL PRINTI NG AN D D IRECT M AI L 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. 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! Also, knowing where the potential buyers are locally is powerful — after all, 78% of homeowners purchase within close proximity of their present home.
A PL ATFORM F OR 2 4 /7 W EB EXPOSURE With 95% of home buyers beginning their search on the Internet, we will want to ensure that your home will receive maximum online exposure. As part of my marketing plan, your home will receive unparalleled exposure to consumers and REALTORSÂŽ, across the globe, through my extensive online partnerships.
SH OW IN G T H E H O ME Your home needs to be ‘show ready’ at all times — this can be difficult to balance if you are still living in the home. However, we must ensure preparations are 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 for us to add around your busy schedule. Each and every buyer will be pre-qualified. During the showing, a fully guided tour will be provided to ensure that the features and nuances are showcased and explained to maximize the perception of value.
M ARKET AN ALYSI S The market analysis report is compiled from a system that tracks your showings, all REALTORÂŽ, and buyer feedback, as well as my marketing effectiveness on your home. This report provides you with an in-depth analysis and a comprehensive list of actions, recommendations, and objectives.
F I N AL IZIN G T H E 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.
On behalf of myself and my team, I’d like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to present this preview of the marketing services we can offer you and your property. I’d be pleased to assist you with the sale of your present home and the purchase of your next home, and the next one, because I’m not just providing a service, I’m building a relationship. Please let me know when I can be of service. Call me before you make any important real estate decisions; you’ll be glad you did.
