COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS

LISAGROTH

PRESENTED BY

AN INTRODUCTION Dear Jonathan and Angela-Marie, 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 homes 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.

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,

Lisa Groth — Lisa Groth

DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME

THE OBJECTIVE Our mutual objective is to sell your home: FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE

»

IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME

»

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

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

SUGGESTED LISTING PRICE After careful review of the data and considering the present market conditions, I would recommend:

A LISTING PRICE OF $897,000 While the price per square foot model suggests a slightly higher listing price, the finishes of the last comparable property are all brand new, since the house was completely renovated prior to its sale. This was taken into consideration when adjusting the price to best fit your property in its present condition. Please note that the large plot size of your home, new appliances, and master suite were also taken into consideration in determining my final price.

COMPETITION ON THE MARKET When pricing a listing to sell, we need to be aware of our competition when we go to market.

MARKETING YOUR HOME

MARKETING FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it will probably 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 • Always prepare your home so that it is 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

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

ACTIVITY (Amount of Interest)

features and attributes, and a marketing strategy is 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 to know when determining price, but 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!

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.

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, clear sight lines, shot in its best natural light will speak volumes to the viewer before and after the home is visited.

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

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 the local REALTORSÂŽ 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 the buyer.

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 mailed to your neighbors, potential buyers and other REALTORS®, is one 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 are your biggest advocates! Knowing where the potential buyers are locally is powerful – after all 78% of homeowners purchase within a 10 mile radius of their present home.

PLATFORM FOR 24/7 WEB EXPOSURE With nearly 94% of home buyers beginning their search on the Internet, you will want to ensure that your home will receive maximum online exposure.

As part of your marketing plan, your home will receive unparalleled exposure to consumers and real estate professionals across the globe, through our extensive online partnerships.

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.

MARKET ANALYSIS Our market analysis report is compiled from a system that tracks your showings, all REALTORSÂŽ and buyer feedback as well as our 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 to you and 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.

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 your REALTORÂŽ is 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.
