AGENT TO AGENT MARKETING

PRICING YOUR HOME

KEY MARKET FACTORS | COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale.

PRICE Pricing your home correctly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.

CONDITION The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, first impressions are so important. Our team will be able to help in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.

COMPETITION Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the price – to the other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area.

TIMING Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 40 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.

LOCATION Location is the single most crucial factor in determining the value of your property.

TERMS Terms structured to meet our objectives are essential to successful marketing.

MARKET FACTORS WITHIN YOUR CONTROL: • Price • Property Condition • Staging • Availability for Showing FACTORS YOU CAN’T CONTROL • Competition • Buyer’s or Seller’s Market • Interest Rates • When the Perfect Buyer walks through the door

PREPARING YOUR LISTING FOR SALE You don’t get a second chance to make a great first impression!

Below are some simple ways to maximize your home’s appeal:

EXTERIOR • Keep the grass freshly cut • Remove all yard clutter • Apply fresh paint to wooden fences • Paint the front door • Weed and apply fresh mulch to garden beds • Clean windows inside and out • Wash or paint the home’s exterior • Tighten and clean all door handles • Ensure gutters and downspouts are firmly attached

INTERIOR • Remove excessive wall hangings, furniture, and knick-knacks • Clean or paint walls and ceilings • Shampoo carpets • Clean and organize cabinets and closets • Repair all plumbing leaks, including faucets and drain traps • Clean all light fixtures

FOR SHOWINGS • Turn on all the lights • Open drapes in the daytime • Make arrangements for pets to be secured and out of sight • Play quiet background music • Light the fireplace (if seasonally appropriate) • Infuse the home with a comforting scent like apple spice or vanilla • Vacate the property while it is being shown

YOUR LISTING IS LIVE!

MASSIVE INTERNET EXPOSURE: Your home is plastered all over social media to a highly targeted audience of active potential buyers.

SCH BUYER MEMBERS Our growing active BUYER MEMBERS are eagerly waiting to hear about “coming soon” properties. We select the ones that are searching for a similar home to yours and call, email, and text them to tell them about your home and ask if they would like a private tour.

YARD SIGN Placement of the “For Sale” sign in your yard will attract the attention of neighbors and drive-by traffic.

TEXT MARKETING Buyers who are interested in your home text for more pics and info, allowing us to capture their information and follow up with a phone call.

95% of all consumers view properties on the internet prior to purchasing. (According to the National Association of Realtors®)

SOCIAL MEDIA Your home will be featured on our blogs and social media pages.

EMAIL MARKETING We market to and communicate regularly with qualified buyers in our database.

COLOR PROPERTY FLYERS Full color, professionally designed and printed flyers will be displayed inside your home for potential buyers.

BUYER SCREENING We market to agents who will bring pre-qualified buyers to your home, reducing stress and eliminating “tire-kickers.”

AFTER WE LIST

QUICK, RELIABLE RESPONSIVENESS We promise to return all calls within two hours of receiving them.

CANVASSING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD We will attempt to personally talk to your neighbors as they occasionally refer buyers to your property.

SKILLED NEGOTIATING Your best interest is our best interest, and we will represent you in every phase of the transaction.

UPDATES ON THE MARKET We continuously monitor the market activity in your area and inform you accordingly through weekly reports.

ONLINE ACTIVITY MONITORING We will continue to track how many hits your listing generates and respond to online inquiries.

24-HOUR AVAILABILITY The SCH Team is available 24 hours every day to field calls on your listing.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE IN ESCROW! Once we receive offers on your home, your agent will review and advise you on the pros and cons of each offer. You may opt to sign an offer immediately or to work with your agent on crafting a counterproposal to ask the buyer for an improvement on price or terms. Once both parties have signed, the road to closing begins.

Disclosures - Your buyer has the opportunity to review any disclosures that you have provided, as well as any Homeowners Association (HOA) documents.

Title Review - Title Insurance guarantees to the new owner that the property is transferred to them without any other claims or liens that could impact their ownership. Your SCH agent takes an early look at title documents to ensure smooth sailing.

Inspection - Most purchase contracts allow the buyer a specified amount of time to inspect the property and potentially make repair requests. SCH agents know how to navigate the negotiations surrounding inspections to your advantage.

Appraisal - Buyers using mortgage financing will have to pay for an appraisal to ensure that the property value supports the loan.

SCH agents take a proactive approach with the appraiser to make sure the appraisal comes in at the value needed.

CLOSING! - Once all of the documents are signed by both parties, the escrow holder will verify the buyer’s funds, pay off any outstanding mortgages or liens, and legally transfer title to the property. The buyer gets the keys to the home, and you receive funds wired directly into your bank account!
