A N IN TRODUC TI O N 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 luxury 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.

When selling luxury 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,

Jane Smith — Jane Smith

OV ERV IEW | SKYL AR K ESTATES SK Y L A R K ESTAT ES Skylark Estates is a luxury home master planned community in Glen Ellyn, nestled near the top of rolling hills that have beautiful sunset views. Skylark Estates is a warm, family-friendly neighborhood with several parks, hiking paths, and ball fields. An 8-acre park and an additional smaller park are just two blocks away. Also, within walking distance, a highly favored private school, St. Joseph’s Catholic School (Grades 2-8). Skylark Estates is served by the award-winning Glen Ellyn Unified School District.

During the summer, the Glen Ellyn HOA sponsors potlucks in the evenings at a community park and the residents can meet and enjoy watching films outdoors. Although this quiet neighborhood makes a very peaceful home, this community is extremely convenient to shopping and freeways. In Glen Ellyn, you can shop at several local shopping centers and the weekly Glen Ellyn Farmers Market close by. You can attend the Community Theater, local movie theaters, or dine at the wonderful restaurants. Skylark Estates is minutes away from it all—exceptional local attractions including nearby lakes, the zoo, local wineries and tasting rooms, several challenging golf courses, and major shopping malls.

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.

DISCOVER A NEW LEVEL

OF LUXURY MARKETING FOR YOUR HOME

MAR KE TIN G FO R MA XIMUM E XPOSURE 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 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 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 to knowing the perceived value and potential for negotiation • Finalize your sale • Find your next dream home

TH E W IN DOW O F OPPORTUN ITY 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 KE TING YOUR LOCATI O N 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 EPA R E TO PR E S ENT YOUR H OME 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 wellmaintained 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.

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.

2 865 RI V ERB END ROAD - s o l d b y J a n e S m i t h

PR O F E SSIONA L & STRATEGI C MA R KE TIN G 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.

PU BLIC A ND PR I VAT E SHOW INGS 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.

LU X U RY A DV ERT ISING For luxury homes, local advertising is not sufficient - these unique homes need exposure to the elite and discerning.

We showcase your home to these affluent buyers through publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Unique Homes, DuPont Registry, Ocean Homes, The RE/MAX Collection Magazine, and the James Edition.

NET WOR K ING A ND R EFER R A LS 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.

CLHMS DESIGNAT ION A ND MEMBER SHIP Working with an agent who is fully certified in luxury marketing is critical as you look to maximize the exposure of your home. My knowledge, expertise, and access to a unique and targeted network are second to none.

W EB E X POSU R E 94% of buyers look at homes online as their first step in the home buying process. This trend will continue to 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.

V IRT UA L TOU R S / ONLINE V IDEO M A R K ET ING Creating a digital experience and footprint is an integral part of advertising in the 21st century.

P R O FE SSIONA L PR I NTI NG AN D DIRE C T MAI 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. Professional promotional materials that feature your home and are mailed to your neighbors, 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 a 10-mile radius of their present home.

S H OWIN G TH E H OME 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 full guided tour will be provided to ensure that the features and nuances are showcased and explained to maximize the perception of value.

MAR KE T ANA LYS I 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 IN AL IZIN G TH E S ALE 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.
