AN INTRODUCTION 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.

We have compared and reviewed your home against other luxury homes currently on the market, whether for sale, under an agreement, or recently sold. While your home is undoubtedly unique, analyzing the market by looking for homes that have a 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 is 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.

We have included an overview of our professional commitment to service, our brokerage’s connectivity, and our dedication to ensure that your home receives the most sophisticated strategies and solutions through our innovative platform of services. We look forward to working with you

FA I R M A R K E T VA LUE With any marketing strategy, it is essential 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 following criteria influence the buyer:

• • •

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

Typically, market conditions are not in your control but choosing to use an agent with extensive experience in the local market, a respected reputation, and who implements a proven comprehensive marketing strategy could make all the difference in MAXIMIZING THE TRUE VALUE OF YOUR HOME. The following key factors affect the sale of your home and are, for the most part, in your control:

SETTING THE PRICE When setting a price for your property, we must strike a balance between the best possible return and the buyer’s need to get the best value. With our experience selling more than 3,100 homes since 1983, Thao Dang and Brian Ng Real Estate Group can help you set a price that will accomplish both objectives.

ESTABLISHING MARKET VALUE The market value of your property is determined in exactly the same way as any other commodity ‒ what a buyer is willing to pay for it in today’s market. Despite the price you paid originally or the value of any improvements you may have made, the value is determined by market forces.

REVIEWING THE COMPETITION Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average before making an offer on a property. As a result, they have a good overview of the market and will compare your property against the competition. If it’s not in line with similar properties that are available, buyers won’t consider it a good value for the money.

ADJUSTMENTS We will need to make adjustments based on a variety of factors such as upgrades, lot size, and views, together with timing, supply and demand, local inventory, and interest rates.

PRESENTING YOUR HOME A great first impression is the key to selling your house. Most buyers select their home based on emotion and then justify the decision with facts, so making the house look great is important. Remember, you have just a few seconds to create a winning first impression!

Before we put your house on the market, we will set aside some time to spruce it up and maximize its sales appeal.

Homes that are clean, uncluttered, and in good repair sell much faster. We have teamed up with a group of local contractors and handymen to help get your home ready for the market.

Together we will make a list of things that need to be cleaned and repaired, and we will also estimate the time, cost, and priority of each chore. Time and money invested in these minor repairs will have maximum impact.

STEPS TO A POSITIVE SHOWING This page describes the key steps to making for a positive showing of your property. You only get one opportunity to make a good impression, so you want to make it count. By following these guidelines, you’ll enhance the attractiveness of your property and reduce the time it takes to generate serious offers.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS How your property appears from the outside is important. To make a good first impression on a buyer, a clean driveway, a freshly mowed lawn, or a trimmed hedge will work wonders. Do a critical inspection of the exterior of your property, paying special attention to the condition of your windows, shutters, screens, and gutters. One of the first things a buyer will notice is the need for painting. If your property looks like it needs painting, many buyers will form an unfavorable impression. Elsewhere, little things count. Make sure the front door is spotless, including the doorknob, and that the windows gleam.

CLEANLINESS COUNTS Once inside your property, one of the key factors that influence its appeal to a buyer is cleanliness. Most important are the front hallway, the kitchen, and the bathrooms. Do a room-by-room cleaning, and don’t forget any out-of-sight areas because that’s often where a discriminating buyer will look first.

The state of the carpets can also be a determining factor. At the very least, have your carpets cleaned, and if they are worn, it’s wise to replace them or remove them if there is hardwood underneath.

LESS IS MORE Clutter makes a poor impression. In closets, cabinets, kitchen countertops, and other storage areas like basements, remove anything not needed for daily housekeeping. To make each room in your property look larger, get rid of or donate unnecessary furniture. Walkthrough your property and think: “Less is more.”

REPAIRS Make sure everything is in good working order. Dripping faucets, squeaky steps, and loose doorknobs can easily create a bad impression and reduce the value of your property. A few hours spent on repairs, whether by yourself or a tradesman, can pay big dividends when an offer is made.

LITTLE THINGS COUNT It’s easy to improve the appearance of any room. You may want to replace worn rugs or small pillows, put new towels in the bathroom or brighten up a room with a vase of flowers.

Pull Together Get all the members of your household to pull together when it comes to getting – and keeping – your property ready to view. By getting everyone into the habit of spending a few minutes tidying up every morning for an afternoon showing, you improve your chances considerably.

PRE-SALES PACKAGE Before submitting an offer, all interested buyers must review, read, and approve the disclosure package.

•

All required government-related real estate disclosures forms to be reviewed and signed – There are about 60-70 documents needed for the Local, State, and Federal governments and lending institutions.

•

Homeowner Association documents (HOA): If applicable, these are ordered by the Title company. It is customary for the seller to pay for the preparation of the HOA documents.

•

We will open escrow and order a preliminary title report – We will obtain the report and review it to ensure no liens or encumbrances are incorrectly recorded on the property. We will review any information related to property usage: Easement, Cloud title, or any documented information that affects the property used.

•

We will order NHD Report for your property. It is an evaluation to see if your house is within a designated hazard area.

•

Order Home warranty for the property, if desired by the seller

•

Order Property inspections including Home, Termite, and Roof, as well as other applicable inspections, needed such as Pool or foundation

•

Obtain an appraisal to ensure the home value for prospective buyers, if necessary

OFFER & NEGOTIATIONS MARKET ANALYSIS A market analysis report will be compiled from a system that tracks your showings, all Realtor and buyer feedback, as well as our marketing effectiveness on your home. This report provides you with an in-depth analysis and a comprehensive list of actions, recommendations, and objectives.

FINALIZING THE SALE Before the sale becomes final, a myriad of details must be attended to, including offers, counteroffers, 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 we are here to guide you through this final process — to keep in constant communication, track the proceeding, and keep things on schedule.

THANK YOU We would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to present this preview of the marketing services we can offer you and your property.

We’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 we’re not just providing a service, we are building a relationship.

Please let us know when we can be of service.

Call us before you make any important real estate decisions — you’ll be glad you did.
