ABOUT ME

STEELE SMITH About Christine Steele Smith After 17 successful years working in Los Angeles as a make-up artist in the film and television industry, Christine pivoted in 2007 to launch a career in real estate. Christine gleaned valuable experience working with some of the top actors, directors, and producers in the entertainment business that continues to serve her in this second act as a licensed broker with Steele Smith Homes. "The three most important skills I learned were to execute impeccable management in a process that has many moving parts with a tremendous amount of confidence and poise; how to intertwine myself into others' personal lives while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism; and mastering the art of creating an aesthetic story that is both pleasing to the eye and evokes positive emotion."

Now, with more than 16 years of experience in the business, Christine has firmly established herself as one of the top agents in Lake Oswego. As a licensed broker with Steele Smith Homes and an active LO resident, Christine serves as a true connector within the tight-knit community.

Not only will Christine assist you in selling or finding your home, but she will also tap into her vast network to ensure a smooth transition into the area with recommendations on anything from schools to professional services to medical providers. Her deep roots within the community are, quite simply, an invaluable resource to her clients.

Client Obsessed Service Christine considers herself the Nordstrom of real estate, repeatedly going above and beyond for her clients. She has a keen understanding of what people in transition need. Whether it's a growing family seeking a larger home or an empty nester wanting to downsize, Christine has proven herself to be a trusted advocate for her clients.

Business Philosophy and Working Style Putting her clients first has always been the cornerstone of Christine's practice. A whip-smart advisor to her clients, Christine believes that every buyer and seller deserves the ultimate highlevel service experience. Whether her clients are in search of their dream home, first home, investment property or vacation home, Christine will serve as a skilled negotiator to garner the best price on a sale or purchase. "I go above and beyond for every client as I rely one hundred percent on referrals for my business and understand I must earn their trust. The highest compliment I can receive is a referral from a client."

On A Personal Note Christine fell in love with real estate after she and her husband flipped their first home in Pasadena, California. When she is not busy providing the highest level of service to her clients, Christine actively seeks growth in her life. That spirit of constant improvement enables her to consistently deliver on behalf of her clients. As a highly invested resident of Lake Oswego, she is involved in many organizations, such as the PTA, National Charity League, and JDRF. "The relationships I have built within the community mean a great deal to me, and I proudly take an active role in passionately serving it."

Closing Costs The sellers pay closing costs Closing costs are based upon your sales price. The closing cost includes escrow fees, owners title policy, recording fees, and taxes (payment or refund, depending on the time of year).

There could be other nominal fees as well.

Escrow can prepare for you a Seller’s Net Sheet, which will lay out most of the fees.

From each agent’s commission a fee is paid to their brokerage firm and then their brokerage pays the agent.

The Staging Checklist DECLUTTERING + ORGANIZING

An important step in staging any property is to declutter and organize. A tidy home appears well maintained and allows buyer to see the house and not the contents. As an added bonus, this step will help make your impending move easier.

PAINTING, UPDATING + COMPLETING REPAIRS

As you work to get your house ready to sell, there are three key goals: 1. ACCENTUATE KEY FEATURES 2. REMOVE POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS 3. ADD REAL AND PERCEIVED VALUE

A move-in ready home attracts a larger pool of buyers, while an outdated property requires price concessions.

The difference between move-in ready and outdated may be as simple as a change in paint and attention to deferred maintenance or possibly minor updates.

CLEANING

There’s no such thing as ‘too clean’ when your home is on the market. A clean home is inviting and suggests a well-maintained property. Once the house has been decluttered and organized, maintenance issues have been addressed, painting and updates are done its time for a deep cleaning. Pay attention to light fixtures, windows and baseboards along with white glove cleaning in the kitchen and bathrooms. Remember to clean the exterior entrance frequently as spider webs and debris accumulate quickly.

STYLING + STAGING RECOMMENDATIONS

This last step adds polish and helps to show off both the house and the lifestyle your buyers will enjoy in their new home. With the appropriate furnishings and finishing touches, the home will be warm tasteful and inviting. To take your property to the next level and attract your ideal buyer style the home for photos and showings.

Staging A well presented home will draw more attention from serious buyers and can greatly decrease the amount of time the home is on the market. It allows for buyers to picture themselves in the space. It all goes back to the "web appeal."

PAPERWORK

Contracts & Disclosures Contracts and disclosures are essential elements in real estate transactions that protect the rights of both buyers and sellers. Contracts outline the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, contingencies, and any special agreements between the parties involved.

Listing Agreement A listing agreement is a type of real estate contract in which a property owner gives authority to the broker to find a buyer and represent the seller and their property to a third party.

Oregon Real Estate Agent Initial Agency Disclosure Pamphlet The primary purpose of the Initial Agency Disclosure Pamphlet is to inform individuals about the various types of agency relationships that can exist between real estate agents and their clients. These agency relationships include seller's agent, buyer's agent, dual agent, and facilitator (also known as a transaction broker). The pamphlet explains the roles and responsibilities of each type of agent and helps clients understand the level of representation they can expect in a real estate transaction.

Disclosed Limited Agency Agreement for Sellers A legally binding contract that defines the terms and conditions of the agency relationship between a seller and their chosen real estate agent or brokerage. In this agreement, the roles and responsibilities of both parties are clearly outlined, emphasizing that the agent's primary fiduciary duty is to represent the seller's best interests throughout the property sale process.

Sellers Property Disclosure Home seller disclosures are documents provided by the seller to the buyer that disclose information about the property and its condition. The purpose of these disclosures is to provide the buyer with full and accurate information about the property, so they can make an informed decision about their purchase.

Contracts & Disclosures Contracts and disclosures are essential elements in real estate transactions that protect the rights of both buyers and sellers. Contracts outline the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, contingencies, and any special agreements between the parties involved.

HOA Addendum (if applicable) The addendum contains provisions that obligate the homeowner to comply with the homeowners association governing documents.

Home Energy Score (if applica ble) A certified professional evaluates a home's performance and issues a score, similar to the bright yellow Energy Guide​ label found on home appliances.

Smoke and CO2 Detectors Oregon law requires that Smoke & Carbon Monoxide detectors be installed by the seller on each level of the home and within 15 feet of each bedroom (one detector can count for more than one room) prior to the appraisal being done. These are fairly inexpensive ($20 or so) and can be purchased at any Home Depot or Lowe's. We will need these in place prior to the appraisal.

It is a state law that smoke detectors be installed on a property prior to resale. They need to be newer than 10 years and on each level of the home. If your smoke detectors are hard-wired and older more than 10 years old, they must be replaced with compliant hardwired smoke alarms with battery back-up.

Advisory Regarding FIRPTA Tax FIRPTA, or the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, is a United States federal tax law that regulates the taxation of real estate transactions involving foreign individuals or entities. Under FIRPTA, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of U.S. real property by foreign sellers may be subject to withholding for tax purposes.

Advisory Regarding Electronic Funds Every day, scammers pretend to be trusted advisors, and by changing an email address or phone number, they can trick people into sending their money to a fake account. This document lists ways in how consumers can get scammed, and what you should do to help ensure it does not happen to you.

ADVISORY REGARDING SMOKE AND CO ALARMS 1

When buying, selling, or renting residential property in Oregon, it is important to learn the laws pertaining to smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

2

Alarms are required before most existing homes and manufactured dwellings can be sold, and in all newly constructed homes and many remodels.

3 4

Alarm type, installation location, power source, maintenance, testing, and replacement are controlled by local and state laws and rules, as well as alarm manufacturers' instructions.

5 6

In rental properties, working alarms must be installed before they can be rented. State law describes the requirements for alarm information that landlords and tenants must provide, testing intervals, responsibility for batteries, and replacement of faulty units.

7

Most importantly, properly functioning alarms save lives. It is illegal to tamper with a working smoke or carbon monoxide alarm.

8 9 10

This advisory is to raise awareness of the importance of alarms. Buyers and sellers need to do their due diligence to determine what the law requires and whether the requirements have been met. Real estate licensees are not experts on these matters, and alarm laws change frequently.

MARKET VALUE

Pricing Your Home I provide sellers with a Competitive Market Analysis. A CMA is a tool to estimate the value a property by looking at properties in a given area that share many of the same qualities of the home that is being sold.

What Goes Into A Comparative Market Analysis?

Although completing a comparative market analysis is a complex process, it’s broken down into separate, manageable parts. These parts collectively give sellers and buyers a thorough value estimate.

Analysis begins with compiling a list of at least three similar properties within the same area that have sold in the last 3 – 6 months. If there isn’t enough sales data, agents may also select properties that are currently listed or pending on the market.

Here’s a list of the various components that go into a CMA: Location: The best comps will be located in the same neighborhood as the subject property. However, if there haven’t been enough recent sales in the area to complete the CMA, the agent will select comps located in an area that is considered similar.

Lot size: The size of a property’s lot plays a large role in its market value.

Square footage: The larger the house, the more valuable it tends to be.

Therefore, the extent of livable square footage can be just as important as the number of rooms within the home.

Age and condition of property: The year the house was built and whether it’s been recently renovated factors into the value. Newer constructions and homes built with high-end materials are often considered more valuable.

Number of bedrooms and bathrooms: The more bedrooms and bathrooms a home has, the higher its value will be.

Special features: Specialty features, like fireplaces, patios, swimming pools, garages, finished basements and so on are also taken into consideration.

Date of sale: The comps chosen should have sold within the last 3 – 6 months.

If sale dates are not current, sales prices must be adjusted to reflect how the market conditions have changed.
