If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

According to New Jersey’s Save Green Project’s online calculator, the difference between heating a single story home at 2500 square feet to 69 degrees via natural gas, heat pump, electric baseboard, oil, or propane can range from $835 for natural gas to $5,137 for electric baseboard heating for a year. That is significant difference! Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil.

But it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional potential charges. For example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their current home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulation, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the buyer is paying in their current home. The question is, “how high?”

Thank You

Looking back at the SaveGreenProject calculator, utilizing a mid-range efficiency heat pump to heat a 2500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase.

Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this is a savings of $1,195 per year!

Dear Client Name, Greeting here.

I am enclosing for you your Annual Client Review. This Review is a service I provide every year to inform you about what has happened in the Real Estate market for your property and in your immediate neighborhood in the previous 12 months. It will give you valuable information about homes that have sold, their assessed values, and the relation between sales price and assessed value.

I would like to stress that this is not a Comparative Market Analysis on your property. A Comparative Market Analysis takes into account many additional factors like what is currently listed on the market for sale. A home’s value cannot be determined without first examining what is available for sale (the competition) at the time a home is put on the market.

MEET LICICA AND DAMO N BENEFIELD FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUYING Recently Sold in Your Area AND SELLING REAL ESTATE IN 2016

2016 REAL ESTATE PRE DICTIONS in Seattle, our population is growing due to a strong job market. Therefore, we will continue to see inventory challenges until new construction picks up even further.

Each year we take time to review what has happened during the year and to look forward to predict what is in store for real estate. Below are our predictions for the 2016 real estate market, based on data that was available at the time this was written. Here’s what we’re seeing for real estate in 2016:

If those sellers are also buyers, depending on the local price points and housing product that is indemand, there might be challenges ahead. However, there are usually buying opportunities available in every market if you know where to look (and luckily, we do!).

STEP 1: P R OAC T I VE C O L L A B O R AT I O N We have a consultative project management approach to real estate. We will often meet with our clients early in the process to understand their requirements and goals. Then we will work collaboratively with them to create a strategy and plan to accomplish that client’s unique goals. Our experience with buyers in the field and the classroom allows us to stay current with today’s home buyers and we are able to provide the home buyer’s perspective to our home sellers.

STEP 2: P R E - I N S PEC T I O N

In any market, having the home pre-inspected makes a strong statement to buyers and it is a strategy we recommend for sellers. If items come up on the inspection report that need to be addressed before the home goes on the market, we have relationships with good contractors.

The active inventory in Seattle started very steady. In fact, it was so steady, we didn’t even wind up with the typical summer upward curve. Demand for homes was so high, that in many months in 2015, the number of homes under contract exceeded the number of homes for sale. High demand resulted in multiple

Your home will be featured on the Multiple Listing Service, Stover Mathis website, and our personal website at TeamBenefield.com. Through syndication, We are able to distribute a strong message for your home on dozens of highly ranked websites which buyers utilize during their home search including REALTOR.com, Zillow, and Trulia.

STEP 3: M A R K E T PR I C I N G

Buyers want to see what your home looks like before they decide to visit. They need visual images in order to imagine themselves living there. To enhance the exposure of your home, I not only hire the best photographer in the business to photograph your home, I also create an online photo album of your home, showcasing all the best features, both inside and out. Detailed descriptions further catch a potential buyer’s attention to your home.

STEP 6: O N L I N E M A R K E T I N G

With most potential buyers scouring the web for homes, online marketing of your home is critical. Chances are that the buyer for your home will view it online before they ever decide to take a live tour. Once again, we will rely on the high-quality photographs of your home to help convey its desirability.

Although most agents will complete a CMA to determine the market value of a property, this is where our research begins. We analyze market activity within a quarter to half mile of your home to determine not only the current competition, but also if there are new construction homes that will be ready when it is time to go on the market. We determine if your listing will be concurrent with a buyers or sellers market – not just in terms of price, but also area, style of home and amenities. We source Trendgraphix, assessed values, and even an appraisal if necessary, as a backup to our research. Once all research has been analyzed, we will have a target market price range for the property.

SUCCESSFULLY SELLING YOUR HOME

When you are in the market to buy or sell a home, you want an agent who is capable, looks out for your needs, and gets the job done. But when you work with Licica and Damon Benefield, you have two agents with decades

2015 has been a year of steady real estate market growth in some areas and rapid growth in others.

There have also been some changes to how we buy and sell real estate. Here is what you can expect if you are buying or selling a home in the year ahead:

Professional photography is essential to showcase your home to its fullest potential. Due to the number of buyers who use the internet as a home search tool (92% according to the National Association of REALTORS®), we use a professional photographer who produces high-impact property photos. We also include a 3D virtual tour, floorplans and custom website with your own personalized domain for your listing.

This strategy is not one utilized by many agents, yet it is one of the best ways to get in front of the target market for your property. When we put a listing in the MLS, we enter information which may be just what a buyer is looking for. We are able to email the agent who is representing those buyers directly. We invite them to open houses and keep them apprised of any activity.

STEP 9: O P E N H O U S E S

We believe that open houses are a great way to drive more buyers to properties that are a good match for an open house campaign.

As mentioned above, We use reverse prospecting to get the word out about open houses to potential buyers and We also utilize aggressive internet marketing to advertise our open houses. Combining an open house campaign with information about your listing can be a great way to drive potential buyers to view your home online.

STEP 10: C U S TO M C O M M U N I CAT I O N I provide a weekly update to look at market shifts, live and online listing traffic to determine how we need to adjust our strategy until your home is sold.

For example, if you are thinking of buying a property with an easement through the middle of the backyard for the utility company to access utilities in your potential neighbor’s yard, there may be restrictions as to what you can build on the property.

You may not be able to put in the swimming pool or shop you were dreaming of in this case. Easements are even used for conservation preservation and historic preservation purposes. Despite how common they are many people do not understand easements and the legal

Lately, if you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living problems that can arise in their implementation. While an situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential easement does give the easement holder access rights to increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account access the land, it does not allow the easement holder to before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars occupy the land or interfere with the property use (except per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that average before you can enter that program.

Sincerely,

Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Jason Cook of Mercer Island, Washington has lived a life of service. From serving in the Air Force to his time as a firefighter, Jason is well-equipped to not only put out the fires in a real estate transaction and deliver remarkable client care. Jason needed a brand, templates, and systems to help him deliver the customer service he is committed to providing. With systems for open houses, prospecting, and staying in touch

with his database, Jason executes consistently. He even has incorporated video into his business model! In his brand, the dark eggplant conveys authority without being overstated.

The complimentary orange provides eye-catching contrast and pizazz. Straight lines were the key word when creating his symmetrical monogram, which carried over into a repeating pattern in the header.

And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

According to New Jersey’s SaveGreenProject’s online calculator, the difference between heating a single story home at 2500 square feet to 69 degrees via natural gas, heat pump, electric baseboard, oil, or propane can range from $835 for natural gas to $5,137 for electric baseboard heating for a year. That is significant difference! Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil or propane vary, but it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional potential charges.

Beautiful views and landscaping make this a paradiseFor example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their in Northwest Washington. Sip lemonade on the deck, lounge in home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulacurrent your master suite complete with soaking tub, tion, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the buyer is paying in their current home.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how 3 Bed | 2.5 Bath | 2,500 SqFt | $550,000 much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that average before you can enter that program.

JasonECook@windermere.com 206-280-1911 Together we will hone that wants and needs list in as exact a way as possible to make certain our search is on point.

We will be very busy during this step of the process. I will send you homes that I have either previewed or prescreened for you to preview to see if they fit your criteria. Your decisions on these initial suggestions will help me narrow or widen the search. Keep in mind that your prioritized list of features and locations may undergo change during your search. If you are employed or otherwise busy during the week, I can also visit a potential home for you, record a video on my phone, and then upload it to YouTube for a private viewing.

We will talk about smells, creaky floors, natural lighting and other qualities important to you.

Communication at this point will be frequent and detailed. What is the best method for you – voice, in person, text, email, Facetime or Skype? I want to keep in touch, but in a manner which is comfortable and convenient for you.

Here is where strategy really comes into play. I will advise you on writing up a strong offer. Keeping market conditions in mind, I will be here to recommend escalation, waiving contingencies or holding the line. Each step will be explained. Every case is different and will be handled as such. Pre-inspection, full inspection or a quick inspection? Educating the client on his/her rights and expectations is a job I take very seriously.

There are many important steps and it is my job to orchestrate the successful execution of each one of these steps.

She is a 10+ in our books.” _________________________________________

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Although Sue now calls Delray Beach, Florida home, she has called Germany, Great Britain, England, Wales, Spain, Dubai, and several locations around the United States “home”. She was already doing a great job of bringing that worldly knowledge to her real estate career, but needed a little help with developing a brand and a strong benefit statement around her experiences.

We also helped her create prospecting materials for her local condo niche market, magazine ads, and waterfront materials.

In terms of Sue’s brand, navy blue with a strong contrasting red provide the memorable color palette while a subtle blue map texture is a nod to Sue’s travels.

someone might live in a house, the principles of Feng Shui focus on how energy flows through a home. For example, staging around the entry of a home is critically important because the agent showing the home may be trying to work the lockbox, the potential buyers may be removing their shoes, so the entry way needs to be staged in such a way as to allow energy to flow freely through the space.

the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills your monthly program.

SO, THEN WHAT’S NEXT? Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

MEDIAN SOLD PRICES – Home prices will continue to increase nationally by single digit numbers, between 5-6%. Urban metro areas in high demand by Millennials will see an increase in the double digits.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the third quarter national median price for existing single family homes was $229,000, 8250 White Oak Ave., Ste 102 whichCucamonga, represented a 5.5% increase over third quarter 2014. There are Rancho CA 91730 still areas of very high demand and low inventory and this will continue until new home starts can catch up to the lack of supply.

HOUSING INVENTORY – The inventory shortage was caused by the cumulative impact of home builders not being in the market for well over five years. This severe shortage fueled the demand. We are still not back to our level needed to sustain regular inventory rates.

This probably won’t happen until well into 2017. I predict that more buyers will be entering the market for a home. Improved job markets bring more buyers into the market and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nationally the unemployment rate stands at 5.0% for November, 2015 – the lowest it has been since April, 2008. We will continue to see inventory challenges until new construction picks up even further.

HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE - The homeownership rate (the percentage of Americans who own their own home) is near the 20-year low of 63.7% in the third quarter of 2015, falling from the all-time high of 69.2% in 2004. The low was 63.4% reached during second quarter of this year. I predict this number will be even lower in 2016 due to the lack of inventory and increasing home prices due to the inventory shortages. The steady decline in the homeownership rate is partially the result of tight lending conditions and a historically low share of first-time buyers.

Predictions

WHE N IT COMES TO R EA L ESTATE , JU ST A S K STACI|

A S K S TA C I . C O M

If you need a REALTOR® who not only can get the job done, but whose background in accounting and taxation equates to your understanding your whole financial picture, look no further than Staci Bias:

not pick up enough in 2015 to address the housing inventory problem. Housing starts are well below the 50 year average of 1.5 million starts per year. Two big reasons for the slow recovery in new construction are the difficulty in obtaining construction loans and construction labor shortage. I predict housing starts to increase in 2016 as builders and investors are able to participate in the market because of the rise in house prices.

New home starts should increase by at least 20% in 2016.

My interest in real estate began while I was in college, and played out during my first home buying process.

My REALTOR® was fantastic, explaining all the details from the contract to the importance of roof types in determining pride of ownership in the neighborhood. I had a wonderful experience and was confident in my decisions because they came from a place of knowledge. However, I quickly learned that this is a frustrating process for many homebuyers, as those details aren’t always covered. Once licensed, I vowed that all of my clients would have a wonderful experience, a smooth transaction, and feel confident.

INTEREST RATES – The improving economy is a sure sign that interest rates will increase in 2016. The new rates will balance job growth and higher inflation rates. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates a quarter of a percentage point at its December meeting.

The federal fund rate has a significant effect on mortgage rates. The federal funds rate had remained near zero since December 2008 and the Reserve had not raised rates in almost a decade. The Federal Reserve will keep an eye on jobs, the economy, and inflation before determining action on additional rate hikes. However, I expect the 30 year fixed rate mortgage rate will reach 5.5% by the end of 2016.

My business is systems-based, which allows me to focus on the details. This means you will get weekly updates, and will never be in the dark. Your home is probably the most expensive purchase you will make, and you should not lose sleep because you don’t know what is going on, or why something is happening. I pride myself on educating my clients; informed people make informed decisions.

I have delivered on that vow as a licensed Broker with over a decade of experience. I have been with Keller Williams since 2008, selling both new construction and resale homes. My clients include first time homebuyers, investors, downsizing seniors, and corporate relocations. As a California native, having lived in both Northern and Southern California, I enjoy helping people relocate to this beautiful landscape. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Accounting and Taxation. In addition to the training and continuing education requirement of all agents to keep their license active, I took my education further by earning the Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation from the National Association of REALTORS®. The GRI is the mark of excellence, with less than 25% of agents completing this advanced training.

Online marketing of your home is crucial. Your home will be featured on my company website and my personal website at www.AskStaci.com. Through syndication, I am able to distribute a strong message for your home on dozens of highly ranked websites which buyers utilize during their home search including REALTOR.com, Zillow, and Trulia. In addition, I email flyers to REALTORS in the Metro Area who may have buyers looking for properties just like yours and create a special webpage just for your home.

Top notch, professional photographs are a cornerstone of both online and print marketing. Most buyers see images of your home either online or via the MLS or online before they decide to see your home in person and therefore, high-quality photography is the best bet to get the most potential buyers through your home. I also create a video tour and a special book containing photographs of your home.

My Services for Sellers

About Staci Bias

Typically, offers are sent via email. To stand out, I always write a letter to the seller informing them about you and why you want to purchase their home as well as your pre-approval letter from your lender. The seller will then do one of the following:

on 1234 Main St and the highest priced home sold for

any of these homes?

WH EN IT COMES TO REAL ESTATE , JUST ASK STACI |

Often, the seller plans on leaving major appliances in the home; however, which items stay or go is often a matter of negotiation.

2015. The lowest sold price was for a 3 bedroom home

acres. The median price was $400,000. Do you recognize

Communication

Print Marketing

I will keep you thoroughly informed of activities, advertising, and market activity while your home is on the market. From calendars which showcase my systems utilized to sell your home to keeping up-to-date with feedback from potential buyers, to reports that show call and showing totals, I gear my communication to you and just how much you want to be informed.

Online marketing is effective, but so is the power of print. When we work together, I create a custom brochure for every property I list. Each brochure contains a description of your home, and spotlights your home’s special features. I also market to a number of areas with a Just Listed postcard, provide you with business cards which feature your home, create special feature cards to highlight your home’s best features, and provide a home book which includes additional information about your home.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase.

Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump

If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up

All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient in their monthly utility bills into account before the model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this is a savings of big move. And that can add up to hundreds of $1,195 per year! dollars per month.

OPEN HOUSE

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Jay came to us as a newer agent but no stranger to getting a real estate transaction done! With ample experience in lending, Jay is an attention-to-detail type of agent that every buyer or seller wants on their side. Jay needed systems for generating leads in a number of ways – open houses, prospecting for his

Sammamish community, and even expired listings. Consistency and commitment he had down; he just needed some strategy and a plan. Jay wanted a brand that was classic, stood out, and even incorporated a swish of red to appeal to his international clientele.

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E THE SAMMAMISH PLATEAU REPORT What’s My hoMe Worth?

Homeowners have a natural curiosity regarding the value of their home. After all, it is likely their largest investment and every homeowner wants to know how their investment is performing. With the availability of data these days, we can learn our bank balance, 401K balance, and can even check our credit card and loan debts with a few clicks of the mouse. Many homeowners assume that by typing in their address into a search engine the results and up-to-the-minute valuation by some of the larger “Automated Valuation Models” (or AVMs) can be used to accurately predict the market value of one’s home. While these AVMs can be used as one of the many sources for determining current market information, they do not represent accurate market value, which can only be ascertained by a licensed agent who can evaluate it correctly.

In general, AVMs compare properties that have sold in the same area as the subject property and look at variables such as price per square foot, lot size, bedrooms, bathrooms, and amenities to draw comparisons. However, there is a limit to the data that is compared and only a real estate agent with thorough knowledge of the market and the comparative properties can truly understand how the demand for these properties may or may not be similar to the subject property. There could be vast differences in finishes, updates, style, landscaping, and more that would not be evaluated by the AVM.

JUST LISTED

room above the garage with built-in storage and cabinetry and a view of the lake. Down the street, a home has just sold that has three bedrooms without upgrades. There is a bonus room, but it has only been finished with drywall and industrial carpet. The AVM may not be able to take the variations in finishes into account and therefore the subject property may be valued much lower than market value by the AVM. The shoe is sometimes on the other foot and property owners with lower end finishes wind up thinking their home is valued higher because the comparative properties include those with higher-end finishes.

For example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their current home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulation, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the buyer is paying in their current home. The question is “how high?” Looking back at the Save Green Project’s calculator, utilizing a mid-

According to New Jersey’s SaveGreenProject’s online calculator, the difference between heating a single story home at 2500 square feet to 69 degrees via natural gas, heat pump, electric baseboard, oil, or propane can range from $835 for natural gas to $5,137 for electric baseboard heating for a year. That is significant difference! Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil or propane vary, but it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional potential charges.

March 25, 20015 Dear Client Name,

range efficiency pump to heat a 2,500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase.

If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills 10138 Main intoStreet account before the big move. And that can add up Bellevue, WA 98004 of dollars per month. to hundreds

Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that average before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

Thank You

If you are thinking about a move or want to learn more about energy efficient upgrades and their return on investment, give me a call at 425-339-0301.

For example, if you are thinking of buying a property with an easement through the middle of the backyard for the utility company to access utilities in your potential neighbor’s yard, there may be restrictions as to what you can build on the property.

You may not be able to put in the swimming pool or shop you were dreaming of in this case. Easements are even used for conservation preservation and historic preservation purposes. Despite how common they are many people do not understand easements and the legal problems that can arise in their implementation. While an easement does give the easement holder access rights

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Combine the knowledge of building and engineering with a real estate broker who is systems-oriented and consistent and you have Anne Morisseau – a newer broker in Bellevue, Washington, but one who is going to take her community by storm. Anne absorbs knowledge, but what she needed was confidence which came with her brand, systems, and templates that help when talking with a builder or investor or showcasing

what she does to list and sell a seller’s property. The “stamp” logo at the top of her brand is similar to an engineer’s stamp. A dramatic simple, white background provides a strong contrast to the dark charcoal grays and midnight blacks. Shimmering touches of gold add a luxurious sense of elegance and a bold script font completes this one of a kind design.

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Bob was one of our very first Mastery clients and came to us from Lake Norman, North Carolina. Lake Norman is a unique area of luxury waterfront homes, modest residential homes, second homeowners and full time residents. Bob already had client care down to a science (having come from the restaurant industry) and needed lead generation systems that were appropriate for his community as well as a strong

website and listing presentation materials that made sellers take notice. Wood frames at the top of Bob’s brand give the impression of looking through window panes and give the design a natural warmth. A bold monogram element reinforces the brand throughout his marketing materials and a structured, professional font is balanced by a friendly, handwritten style script.

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E About Bob Why hire Bob to list your home or help you find your next one?

Bob’s enthusiasm and energy is contagious. He has a knack for listening to his clients, meeting and exceeding their expectations, and works hard to make the journey stress free for his clients.

Bob is a great communicator who keeps his clients well informed of the progress. He is known for his honesty and trustworthy approach to his peers and clients.

Bob has great relationships with mortgage brokers, closing attorneys, inspectors, appraisers, and his fellow real estate agents. He has a great team at Lake Norman Realty and will utilize innovative tools at his disposal to help his clients. Lake Norman Realty has a tremendous track record of longevity in the Lake Norman area since 1978, five offices, and over 100 agents that support each other’s listings.

Dear friends,

Print – Although I employ cutting-edge online marketing techniques, buyers still want, and expect, a flyer when they drive by the house and neighbors want a house flyer in the flyer box and they want additional information on the property when they enter the house via a home book. They want to learn more about the features and benefits of the home which I outline on special feature cards which I include throughout the home.

Neighbors want to learn that their neighbor’s home has gone on the market and I keep them updated with either letters or a just listed card. I even update my database so there is another source of potential buyers and referrers.

We want to scale down

Bob loves helping buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals. He is a dedicated professional and will represent you proudly!

Your Offer is Accepted!

Although everyone’s transaction process is a bit different depending on what you are buying, where you are buying it and how you are buying it, it is important to note that it is rarely simply a matter 704-740-0370 of finding a house, writing an offer, taking money to closing, and moving in. There are many important steps that must be adhered—listed below are the most important ones that will apply to BobCrowley@LakeNormanRealty.com mostwww.BobCrowley.LakeNormanRealty.com situations. It is my job to orchestrate the successful execution of each one of these steps:

We m a k e a l i v i n g o u t o f w h a t w e d o , b u t w e m a k e a L I F E o u t o f w e G I V E !

Communication – I provide feedback to sellers throughout the listing. Showing feedback is provided when a potential buyer views the home and feedback is provided after an open house. I always keep my sellers updated on traffic, web results, ad results, and feedback in order to determine our next strategy.

Peninsula Marke t Update We have a small number of sales each year on the Peninsula with a wide variety of home prices. We had 65 homes sell on the Peninsula last year as indicated in the chart at right. May-October were definitely our strongest months for solds, with 72% of our properties selling in that timeframe. December 2013 and 2014 both had six sales.

The chart at the right shows the total number of active listings compared to the number of listings that are pending. This chart clearly shows the supply and demand for the Peninsula. As the lines get closer together, that is an indication of higher demand. Our area was fairly consistent as far as supply and demand is concerned with an average of 48 listings available per month with 5 pendings.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year!

Snoqualmie Ridge Market Update H O M E

2015 was a big year for Snoqualmie Ridge, but it ended with zero homes for sale in December. That means we are starting off with high demand and no homes for sale. If you are a homeowner thinking of buying up in 2016, this might be the perfect opportunity.

Most people consulting with a real estate agent need help with a huge life investment – buying or selling a home. They require a person with intensive market knowledge who can present them with a clear overview of what a transaction of this type looks like.

In addition, an agent who can be reached quickly and easily is a must. And a broker who is proactive – always thinking ahead to the next steps and available options – will save a client time and reduce stress during what can be a very anxious period in their lives.

Easy Home Improvements If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs.

Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

be higher than what the buyer is paying in their current home. N a d i a @ T h o m a s L M a c y . c o m The question is, “how high?” Looking back at the SaveGreenProject calculator, utilizing a midrange efficiency heat pump to heat a 2500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that before you can enter that program.

Nadia was amazing to work with! I knew she was working out of her normal area, but she adjusted quickly, even working full time while on her family vacation. Once we established the boundaries we were interested in, she found our dream house. It opened on a Monday and she called me by Thursday to tell us it was ours. The homeowners received 18 offers and because of the great package Nadia helped us put together for our offer, they chose us! She even gifted us boxes and moving supplies to make our whirlwind transition a little easier. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Selling a Home with Nadia

-Sofiaenciso

If your home is currently listed with a brokerage, this is not intended to be a solicitation of that listing.

Selling a Home with Nadia I offer a full service listing package for only 1% listing commission – far less than competitive agents. This can save you THOUSANDS at the closing table. Compare the marketing strategy I can provide you to what other agents who would charge you more would offer:

STRATEGY: First, I determine whether you are also searching for a new home. This might affect the timeline or financing for the seller. In our first meeting, I will already have comparables for the area where your current home is located and have a price range in mind. But there are adjustments that I will make when I am touring the home. Exact neighborhood, the condition of your home, any upgrades you have completed recently – all can affect home price.

TIMELINE AND PREPARATION: What is your timeline for getting your home on the market and making your move? I need seven days to work my marketing magic on your home, but otherwise your timeline can be what you need. We can consult with a professional stager to make your home its most attractive. There are a few action items I will need you to do to prepare your home: decluttering and making it spotless, removing personal items and pets, and other small tasks which can allow prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there.

MARKETING PLAN: My marketing plan has proven to be very effective, and gets potential buyers from near and far to tour your home: 

Preparation and Photography)– professional photographers and stagers with proven success will prepare and present your home.



Mailing – “Just Listed” cards for 300-400 addresses around your neighborhood. When appropriate, I combine “Just Listed” with an Open House invitation for maximum impact.



Sign – My high-impact sign in your yard will help buyers find your home if they are driving by.



Print Marketing – I supply a four-page brochure for each listing as well as special feature cards throughout the home.



Listing Syndication – Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook – we cover all of the major real estate websites and social media.



Single property website – I also supply your property with its very own website, helping buyers get all the information they need in one handy spot.



Virtual Tour – My real estate company provides a virtual tour of your home.



Facebook Ads – I supply paid Facebook ads for each property.



Email blast - to thousands of agents in the county.

King County alone has about 6,000 agents!



Open House – Of course, this allows many potential buyers to view and consider your home.

If your home is currently listed with a brokerage, this is not intended to be a solicitation of that listing.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year!

COMMUNICATION: If your home doesn’t sell right away, then every other day or so I email you a summary of new market information that might affect the sale of your home– new listings that are competition, or a comparable goes pending or when it sells. You will get a summary of the bigger picture and how your home fits in. I also look at the average DOM (Days on Market) for that home location and type at that price range and any seasonal factors which might affect the sale. Finally, I evaluate the traffic viewing your home both on the internet and in person.

Other agents bringing potential buyers to your home can give me feedback which can be very valuable as well.

January 26, 2015 Dear Client Name, If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

3019 Soundview Drive W. University Place, WA 98466

According to New Jersey’s Save Green Project’s online calculator, the difference between heating a single story home at 2500 square feet to 69 degrees via natural gas, heat pump, electric baseboard, oil, or propane can range from $835 for natural gas to $5,137 for electric baseboard heating for a year. That is significant difference!

Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil or propane vary, but it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional charges.

For example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their current home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulation, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the buyer is paying.

All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity to find that before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Caroline’s comfort with technology knows no bounds. From tinkering with her website to evaluating data in the MLS, Caroline is a powerhouse when it comes to knowing how to make technology work for her, her business, and for her clients. In terms of Caroline’s brand, the colors blend perfectly and give a peaceful feeling of nature to her marketing. A misty

photo of Snoqualmie Falls blends into the linen finish of the cream background, giving a nod to one of the most noted local features of her area. A strong professional type and a swirling feminine font balance each other and round out the rest of the design.

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E Directions: On the cover of your package, you should use a photo of your client’s home. Make sure you update this photo annually. Change the “Prepared For” to your client’s name Be sure to include the name of your area on the title of the package, update the agent photo with your own, and include your contact information

My monthly Home Seller Workshops along with my monthly home improvement series, “House Talks” are a great way to get homeowners to think about improvements that can improve resale value of their home (and enjoy the improvements while still living there!) or strategy around home merchandising with a buyer in mind. I would be happy to add you to my invitation list!

I believe real estate is a relationship business and the "one size fits all" approach to real estate does not work in the long run. I work to offer a significantly different real estate experience for my clients. No two properties are the same, much like no two people or situations are the same.

July 15, 2015 Dear Client,

I have over 30 years of business, sales and technical consulting experience with the last ten years focused on Real Estate. My Real Estate business is built on a foundation of three core principles:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for trusting your real estate transaction to me. Any kind of real estate transaction is both a serious and important one and I appreciate the fact very much that I had the opportunity to help you.

I also want you to know that just because the transaction has closed, our relationship is not over. I will be providing you with ongoing real estate information so I will always be your long term real estate advisor. In fact, I will be sending you an Annual Client Review in your home purchasing anniversary month so you will always know where your home stands in the market as well as monthly information to keep you informed about the goings on in the Real Estate market.



Education: I believe in the importance of educating my clients as they embark on the process of buying or selling a home so they can make informed decisions. I offer regular ongoing in-depth Home Buyer, Home Seller and special Home Improvement Workshops in King County. I also offer one-on-one consultations.



Client Focus: Whether it is paying attention to the details of a transaction, creating a custom marketing plan for your unique property or negotiating for those fine points in a contract, I work tirelessly for you.



Giving Back: I am very proud to be a Homes for Heroes affiliate. This a fantastic program that allows me to offer significant savings to our local heroes when they use my services to buy or sell real estate. Heroes include Military, Police, Health Care Workers, Firefighters, Educators, Public Workers and their support staff. It is our way to thank these heroes for their service, and support them in being able to live in the communities in which they serve.

Please feel free to contact me anytime you or someone you know has a question about market, about neighborhoods, property, etc. I love this area and I love helping people learn more about it.

Sincerely,

Caroline Loudenback

Was the Pending to Closing process explained thoroughly to you?

Was the Financial process explained effectively?

What was the most effective method of communication and did you feel that it was adequate?

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your answers and comments are very important to me. The information you provide will enable me to better serve you and other clients in the future. If more room is required for elaboration, please use the second sheet provided.

Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist - I help executors and administrators with the sale of the real estate property in an estate. I have been a caregiver as well as an executor, so I understand the challenges of these types of events.

M a k i n g t h e M o vWhat e type wofiinformation t h Ewilla you s eneed from me?

Although everyone’s transaction process is a bit different depending on what you are buying, where you are buying it and how you are buying it, it is important to note that it is rarely simply a matter of finding a house, writing an offer, taking money to closing, and moving in. There are many important steps that must be adhered—listed below are the most important ones that will apply to most situations. It is my job to orchestrate the successful execution of each one of these steps:

If loan approval is not received, seller has right to terminate by giving a notice to the buyer- that gives the buyer 3 days to waive financing or seller can terminate transaction (extremely rare)

Financing Contingency Expiration (due 30 days after mutual) Receive Loan Approval from lender (due ASAP before closing date) Buyer to notify utilities of upcoming transfer of ownership (due 2-3 days before closing date)

Signing Appointments (due 2-3 days before closing date) Closing & Recording Possession Date as according to contract

However, my service doesn’t stop here! Join me for my monthly “House Talks” geared towards homeowners. I am always available to you for a one on one consultation to talk about how your home stands in relation to the market.

Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource: I know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.

To do the best job for you, I will need the best information you can provide. This would include such things as:  preferred price range  number of bedrooms / bathrooms  style of home (single-story, two-story, etc.)  size of yard  preferred school districts  geographical areas / neighborhoods of interest  special needs / special interests which your home needs to accommodate Keep in mind that a very specific set of criteria may narrow your list of potential properties. My suggestion is to make a list of your “must haves” and “would like to have” and be open to looking at properties that check most of these items off rather than all to offer you the most options to review.

How can I find out about new properties?

I will work with you to determine how often you want to receive updates on available homes, and by what method (telephone, email, snail mail). Clients using email can receive automatic updates from most MLS systems as soon as new listings are entered, although I also review everything that comes on the market which meets your criteria.

“Caroline was AMAZING! She was with us every step of the way and made the transaction seamless. We had a blast working with her and feel like she is a part of our extended family now. With her generosity through the Homes for Heroes program, we were able to make our dream home a reality!"

Can you provide information on properties listed with other companies?

Yes. I am a member of the MLS where most of the properties in the Puget Sound area are listed, so all of that information is available at my fingertips.

What if I find a property on my own?

With the advent of the internet, many buyers have begun searching for – and often finding – properties of interest while working with an agent. If you find something you like online, just give me the address or the MLS number of the property in question. I will then contact the agent of the property, do my research, and we will set up a time to go take a look if it meets your criteria.

Can I go to open houses without you?

Yes. However, when meeting the agent hosting the open house it’s best if you immediately identify yourself as working with me. Additionally, be very careful in what you say to the listing agent as what you share could be a detriment if you decide to write an offer.

NWMLS Area 540 Residential and Condos

If you have any other questions regarding purchasing a home, please give me a call. I want your home buying experience to be as easy and enjoyable as possible and will do everything I can to ensure you find the home that is right for you.

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Debbie was a newer agent who came from a solid career in pharmaceutical sales. Her Shoreline, Washington community is lucky that she made the switch to real estate sales. Debbie is an analytical supporter agent which means she takes stellar care of her clients and isn’t afraid of data and research. We needed

to create a brand for her that caught the attention of potential clients and we did just that with images that represents her waterfront community along with a gentle curve. The script font used in her brand goes nicely with the smoothness of this curve. We love it - and so does Debbie!

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E w w w. D e b b i e A l l i s o n H o m e s . c o m I encourage buyers to consider the season they are purchasing in and area issues throughout the year to make sure there are no surprises when the calendar changes to a new season.

155 NE 100th Street, Suite 120 Seattle, WA 98125

For example, if you have allergies to specific types of trees and grass, calling in an expert botanist may be something to consider before making an offer to make sure none of the offending plants are located on or near the property.

Market Watch

It may be difficult to remember during the beautiful spring we have been having, but winter in the Northwest can be tough. If you love a hilltop view, make sure you are comfortable getting down that hill in winter weather.

Property

View potential properties with a critical seasonal eye. It is most important is you understand everything your new property will offer during the changing seasons.

In looking at the entire Northwest Multiple Listing Service Area 715 (which includes not only Richmond Beach and Highlands, but also Shoreline. In fact, it extends from the water on the west to I-5 to the East, north to 224th St SW/Lake Ballinger Way and N 145th St to the South), median sales prices are up over last year. April was 12.93% higher than last April, May was 13.49% higher than last May, and June was 14.47% higher than last June.

Although our sold numbers in Richmond Beach and Highlands are strong, I believe they would be much higher if there were more homes available to sell.

Between January to June, 2015, Richmond Beach has seen 52 sales while year-to-date in 2014 saw 49.

Richmond Highlands January through June, 2015 saw 33 solds while 2014 saw 29 for the same period.

Our entire MLS area 715 has seen 277 solds between January through June of this year as compared to 251 for last year.

January - June of 2014’s sales price median was $365,000. 2015 year to date is $417,000 - a 14.25% gain.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a Congressestablished agency with regulatory control over federal consumer protection laws. Recently the CFPB created new rules aimed at helping buyers and sellers have a better understanding of the borrowing process. Below are some of the changes you can expect to see in the coming months: Buyers buying their home with a mortgage will receive a standardized Loan Estimate document from the lender which outlines variables such as the type of loan, payment schedule, interest rate for the mortgage, information about prepayment penalties and other terms of the transaction (such as balloon payments or mortgage insurance), costs to close the loan, and State Law provisions. This document is provided to the loan applicant no more than three days after the buyer submits a loan application.

If you would like additional information on any of these properties, or would like a more in-depth analysis of the market, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Direct: 206-349-5351 | Office: 206-971-8800 debra.allison@coldwellbanker.com

Includes NWMLS Area 715: Residential and Condos

Includes NWMLS Area 715: Richmond Beach Residential and Condos

Includes NWMLS Area 715: Richmond Highlands Residential and Condos

In addition, Buyers will receive a Closing Disclosure no less than three days before the loan is scheduled to close which reiterates the above variables.

The mandatory three day review period for both of these

documents was put in place to allow borrowers time to read through them and have a thorough understanding of what they are committing to. The forms themselves have been streamlined and are easier to understand. The interest rate, monthly payments, and the total closing costs are clearly indicated on the first page of the documents for easy reference and to make it easier to compare loan products with different lenders.

These new policies will make the process easier and more transparent to borrowers. If you are buying or selling a home soon, remember that these policies may impact your transaction as lenders and closers navigate through the new documents and timelines. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. Please give me a call: 206-349-5351or send an email to: debra.allison@coldwellbanker.com.

PRINT MARKETING

Professional Photography is the cornerstone of excellent marketing. I employ a professional to capture images that will draw internet browsers to your listing, and potential buyers to your home. Where appropriate, I add a video component. Your home will be shown to its best advantage to the buying public.

I use these professional photographs to create high quality Flyers, “Just-Listed” Postcards, and in-home feature cards. I also provide a “Home Book” for visitors to review to as they tour your home.

ONLINE MARKETING According to the National Association of Realtors, 92% of buyers are searching for homes online. I make sure your property can easily be found to reach the largest possible pool of buyers. Your home will be the featured home on my website, as well as the Coldwell Banker national real estate site, recognized as the #1 website for number of visitors in the United States. Your home will also appear on other major websites, including Redfin, Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com.

BROKER’S OPEN OPEN HOUSES I find open houses to be very effective in getting potential buyers in the door. We will discuss our open house strategy together and determine the best plan for your property.

*Note: There are too many unique properties and too few sales in the Richmond Beach and Richmond Highlands to designate a median sales price trend. In the event your home is listed with another agent, this is not a solicitation for business.

You can think of a brokers open as an open house for real estate agents. I find brokers opens are a very effective way to get agents (who represent buyers) considering your home as a viable option for their clients. The brokers open will be held as close to your property’s list date as possible.

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Sarah was a newer agent, although one with industry experience, from the West Seattle marketplace when she joined our Mastery program. Since she had spent time in the industry as an assistant, she knew the type of business she wanted to create, what she wanted for a brand (which she already had a logo for), and how she wanted to connect with her community. Sarah has an amazing design aesthetic

which was important in the creation of all her templates and systems – both online and off. We were able to work on a few special projects with Sarah including a win-win negotiating board and a beautiful seller brochure. There is no raining on Sarah’s design parade! The low-poly pattern in the cloud is full of cheerful colors to brighten up a classic weather feature of the Northwest.

Offers When I work with a buyer to buy a home, I advise my buyer that crafting an offer to solve the sellers’ problems is an important strategy. How well does it work?

In the hottest market in 2016, I sold 17 homes to buyers. We competed against 38 other buyers for those homes.

My buyers never needed to make more than two offers on other properties before buying the home that was right for them.

Project’s online calculator, the difference between heating a single story home at 2500 square feet to 69 degrees via natural gas, heat pump, electric baseboard, oil, or propane can range from $835 for natural gas to $5,137 for electric baseboard heating for a year. That is significant difference! Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil. But it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional potential charges.

For example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their current home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulation, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the

buyer is paying in their current home. The question is, “how high?” Looking back at the SaveGreenProject calculator, utilizing a mid-range efficiency heat pump to heat a 2500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

Dear Client Name,

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year!

P.O. Box 4654 Palm Springs, CA 92263

If you’re thinking about a move or want to learn more about energy-efficient upgrades and their return on investment, give me a call at 760-902-7470 or send an email to Tim@CAPropertyInvestments.com for more information.

Shockingly, one-third of Americans struggle to pay their medical bills each month and medical is the number one leading cause of bankruptcy in this country according to Forbes. In fact, Forbes indicates 64 million Experian credit bureau consumers have medical collection on their credit report and 50% of all unpaid collection debt is medical debt.

FICO 9 will change the credit scores of many.

While these changes seem like a step in the right direction, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and a host of other lenders are still using older FICO scoring methods. Therefore, although you may benefit from a better credit score under the new FICO 9 formula, your lender may or may not take the new formula into consideration when you apply for a loan.

There is an uptick in number of homes for sale throughout our area due to people putting their second homes and vacation rentals on the market. We had fewer Canadian snowbirds renting this winter due to the weak Canadian dollar which hurt our rental market. However, there is a new huge Mega-concert (Desert Trip) coming in October that has vacation home owners excited about bringing in additional revenue for those two weekends. On the whole, the Palm Springs area continues to be a great investment with opportunities for first time homebuyers, investors, and more.

That is surprising to me considering the impact of the Canadian dollar, but first time homebuyers and investors are buying properties here which are two big drivers in our market right now.

For many the thought of having to downsize their belongings is overwhelming, but here are some ways you can get the ball rolling: Lifestyle Analysis –Review how your life is going to change. If you are retiring, work-related items no longer need to clutter your closet! If you are moving to a warmer climate, rethink your winter wardrobe. Entire categories of things can be the first to go.

Space Analysis – Think about the space and functionality of the rooms you are moving to. If you are downsizing to half the space of what you have now, half of what you have will need to find another home.

Functionality Analysis –Often we keep something around because we perceive that we need it, but you likely only use a few items in your home on a regular basis. Downsizing means choosing, so choose wisely!

Memorabilia Analysis –Yearbooks, photos, letters, keepsakes, children’s artwork, etc all fall into this category. Getting a storage unit and putting keepsakes in there may be a good option.

Are you overwhelmed by the thought of downsizing? I would be happy to help you get started. Give me a call 760-902-7479 or email: Tim@CAPropertyInvestments.com.

consider making additional income by renting out your home when you don’t plan on using it.

Also known as a vacation rental, the Palm Springs area is home to weather, events, and recreation that draws people from across the state or across the globe and vacation rentals are in hot demand. In fact, according to the Desert Sun, rates can increase between 20-100% during big ticket events.

From retirees who are thinking of a move to the area but don’t want to commit to purchasing a home just yet to employees in the Desert supporting the tourism industry and more, demand for long-term rentals in the Palm Springs area continues to be strong.

Not every agent invests in professional photography for each listing. However, with buyers searching for properties in Palm Desert from all over the world, it is important for your home to stand out and be presented like the gem that it is. Therefore, professional photography is a critical component of my marketing plan.

If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING Marianne serves the Issaquah, Washington market with a strong background in property management and global living.

She is an avid animal activist which we made into a strong component of her brand. Soft greens and purple gradients seamlessly blend feelings of freshness and sophistication. The straight lines of her design are stylishly angled to bring the reader’s focus to the content of every piece. Images of animals

and landscaping highlight two privileges of home-owning. We applied that brand to open house templates as well as materials to use with first time homebuyers and a number of other systems that helped her get her business established. While in Mastery she also took time to define her personal style which will serve her very well!

CONDO

HOME

DUPLEX

Condos can be a great first step towards homeownership. They are generally less expensive and require less maintenance, but usually a monthly Homeowner Association fee for common areas is required. This must be taken into consideration when determining your monthly payment.

A stand-alone home is what most firsttime homebuyers strive for as there are generally no shared walls and at least some yard. You should budget at least 1% of the purchase price per year for maintenance and replacement for systems. Stand-alone homes generally appreciate at a higher rate than condominiums.

A duplex can be an interesting option since you can rent out one half while living in the other. However, you get to enjoy the appreciation on both units! It does take a certain type of person to be a landlord and to live next door to your tenant, but a duplex can be a great way to build wealth.

ACTIVE LISTINGS AND PROPERTIES UNDER CONTRACT The graph at the right shows supply and demand in Issaquah over the last two years. When the supply (active listings) drops and demand (pending listings) rises, the tops of the lines almost touch and that is an indicator that multiple offers are commonplace and prices are on the rise.

YOUR GUIDE TO

School District:

Approximate Square Footage:

“Although you may envision a huge home on acreage, that isn’t realistic for most people for their first home. My advice is to get into a property to build equity which you can use towards your “someday” home. Even if it is not the most ideal home, make the move, and enjoy the property appreciation!”

It is important to know where your down payment is coming from as the lender will need to verify the funds are available and that you are not beholden to repay it if it is coming from another person. Here are just a few ways a portion or a whole down payment can be paid.

Buying your first home is both an exhilarating time and one that can be overwhelming. I am here to help and guide you through the process and all you should consider!

SAVINGS If you have diligently been saving up for a down payment, have sold other assets or have received an inheritance, you may plan to use your savings to invest in your new home.

Your lender may request proof of these funds and want to know from where these funds originated.

GIFT DOWN PAYMENT

GRANT

Some first-time homebuyers receive a portion of their down payment as a gift, perhaps from parents or another family member. In this case, the lender may ask that the gifter write a letter indicating that the down payment is indeed a gift, repayment is not necessary, and the gifter has no other financial interest in the property.

Some areas have a grant program or special loan program to help firsttime homebuyers with their down payment. There may be classes or seminars to attend or separate paperwork in order to be eligible for the program, and the lender will need to be involved early to make sure the I donate a portion ofas myplanned. commission loan proceeds towards promoting the welfare of animals

Location, Location, Location

What kind of surroundings are you looking for? An urban setting with services within walking distance? A property with a less than 20 minute commute to your job? Do you need something close to the wonderful trail system in Issaquah and Tiger Mountain? Or perhaps you are envisioning a rural home with property for your flock of chickens and golden retriever to run about.

Is proximity to schools important or proximity to anything else such as other family members or friends?

I also encourage you to determine your transportation options. Not only is I-90 the main thoroughfare to Bellevue and Seattle, but there are also two rapid transit centers in The Highlands and down in Issaquah Valley with Sound Transit.

In addition, Light Rail may be coming to Issaquah in the coming years.

Interest Mortgage interest, represented by mortgage interest rates, or the amount you pay the bank for taking out a loan, varies from day to day and week to week. Depending on your loan amount, a change in as little as 0.5% can result in tens of thousands more paid over the life of the loan. In the chart to the right, you can check the anticipated amount of your loan and the interest rate you expect to pay to check your combined principal and interest payment per month.

The chart shows fixed mortgage rate repayment. However, there are a number of different loan programs available, including adjustable interest rate loans. You should work with your lender to learn about your repayment plan and all the costs involved with your options.

For example, if you are thinking of buying a property with an easement through the middle of the backyard for the utility company to access utilities in your potential neighbor’s yard, there may be restrictions as to what you can build on the property.

You may not be able to put in the swimming pool or shop you were dreaming of in this case. Easements are even used for conservation preservation and historic preservation purposes. Despite how common they are many people do not understand easements

lator, utilizing a mid-range efficiency pump to heat a 2,500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that average before you can enter that program.

Vivamus pellentesque urna a est porta sit amet condimentum neque posue.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

Redmond is an affluent, suburb city in King County, Washington, within the Seattle metropolitan area.

Redmond is commonly recognized as the home of both Microsoft and Nintendo of America. With an annual bike race on city streets and the state's only velodrome, Redmond is also known as the "Bicycle Capital of the Northwest".

Redmond sits in a fertile basin created by ancient glaciers that once covered much of King County. Thousands of years before the first fur trappers entered the area's dense forests, the rich bottomland of the Sammamish Valley provided shelter and food for Native Americans. Salmon were so abundant in the Sammamish River when the first pioneers arrived in 1871, they called their settlement Salmonberg.

Today, Redmond enjoys a diverse and growing economic base. The community is home to some of the major hightech firms in the country, including Microsoft, Nintendo of America, Honeywell, General Dynamics Airborne Electronic Systems, and Medtronics Emergency Response

Systems. Redmond is also the headquarters of such businesses as Genie Industries. A strong retail sector is enhanced by Redmond Town Center, an open-air mixed use center featuring 110 stores, 22 restaurants, one hotel, and 600,000 square feet of office space.

From an original incorporated area of three square blocks, the City has expanded to its present size of over 17.14 square miles. Regional growth around the Eastside will continue to impact Redmond as more people and businesses are attracted to the area. Achieving a balance between accommodating growth and preserving Redmond’s unique features and livability was challenging, but over the past 20 years through the clear, shared direction contained in the Comprehensive Plan, the vision has taken shape and throughout Redmond the results are apparent. In 2030 Redmond’s two urban centers— Downtown and Overlake—are thriving centers of residential and commercial activity. Downtown is an outstanding place to work, shop, live and recreate is a destination for many in Redmond and in the region.

Home and Utility Costs If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly.

Magnolia’s median home sales price rose by over 12% looking at 2015 quarter two numbers as compared to 2014. With fewer homes on the market, more buyers are competing for those homes, leading to multiple offers and escalating prices.

Jane Maxson is an outstanding real estate professional. She listens carefully to your needs and heart's desire in order to find you and your family the "perfect" match of a home. The fact that she's also a "Pet Friendly REALTOR" makes it even cooler since she takes into consideration the needs of your fur baby or other special family member.

I expect that as we head into the end of the year, we should see demand taper off a bit due if interest rates rise, but we will still finish off the year very strong.

I recommend her highly. You simply MUST call on her...

Escrow is the process in which money and documents are held by a neutral third party (escrow agent) on behalf of the buyer and seller. The escrow agent receives wri�en instruc�ons, which are detailed in the purchase and sale agreement. These determine the condi�ons and �me lines the escrow agent will distribute the money and documents to the proper par�es.

The Northwest has been my home since 1984. I originally hail from England where my father managed the Rolling Stones (yes, Mick even visited me in the hospital when I had my tonsils out). I moved to the United States in 1980 and my first residence in Seattle was a sailboat on Lake Union. I next lived on Queen Anne for 17 years before making the move to Magnolia.

I joined Coldwell Banker Bain in 2007. I chose this company because of their commitment to quality service, professionalism, and their supportive and friendly environment. It is a perfect match for how I like to do business.

There is a shortage of housing in King County as compared to the number of buyers who want to own them.

Comparing June 2014 with 2015, Magnolia has seen a dramatic 48.6% decline in the number of homes for sale while the number of homes that are pending, or under contract, has risen by 29.7%. There is currently less than one month of inventory available for buyers looking for a home. Homes are selling for multiple offers in a matter of days.

If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs.

Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that average before you can enter that program.

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills. Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year or almost $100 per month!

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING John and Karyl were an amazing couple to work with. They grew up the best of friends in Stanwood and Camano Island, Washington, but life took them in different directions. They reconnected, got married, and began their real estate business together in the Mastery program. Although Karyl had extensive real estate experience at that time, John was a new agent and

both needed a brand and individual systems that celebrated their individual strengths. They are a client-centric powerhouse of a couple whose area expertise make them a force to be reckoned with. Their brand needed to convey the peace and serenity a Camano Island lifestyle can provide, as well as including their unique last initial.

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E Although everyone’s transaction process is a bit different depending on what you are buying, where you are buying it and how you are buying it, it is important to note that it is rarely simply a matter of finding a house, writing an offer, taking money to closing, and moving in. There are many important steps that must be adhered—listed below are the most important ones that will apply to most situations. It is my job to orchestrate the successful execution of each one of these steps:

- PRINT MARKETING -

Today’s buyer is very tech savvy! 92% of buyers are looking online for homes. In our rural area, this number may be closer to 99%. Often buyers look for their new home online before they ever actually visit a home. I’ll showcase your home by using professional and eye-catching marketing to maximize your home’s online presence. Additionally, your home will be syndicated on my company website, my personal website, and all our affiliated websites.

Although online marketing is critical, buyers still want print marketing that highlights the features and benefits of your home. I create:

425-314-5119

- PHOTOGRAPHY -

|

johnquevillon@remax.net

Buyers want to see what your home looks like before they decide to visit. They need visual images in order to imagine themselves living there. To enhance the exposure of your home, I hire a photographer to take high end photographs of your home, showcasing all the best features, both inside and out.

Detailed descriptions are also critical for allowing buyers to find your listing and understand how the home flows together, even if they are viewing the home online.



A house flyer including photography and descriptions. This is available both inside the home and for potential buyers driving by.



Home book in the home which provides tax information, maps, and other very detailed information on the home. May include area specialties such as beaches!



Special feature cards are strategically placed around the home, pointing out the features that may not be apparent to the naked eye such as a built-in vacuum system or radiant heated floors.



Just Listed notification – in the event your home’s marketing plan warrants this type of marketing, I will send out information to your neighbors about your home being listed.



A CD containing photos for buyers to take with them. Although many agents have ceased doing this due to the robust photo gallery on the MLS, I still find that providing a CD with the photos of the home (often many more than can fit on the MLS gallery) and captions on the photos are a memorable marketing piece that buyers can take with them when they leave your home (which will hopefully have them coming back for more).

- YARD SIGN -

425-315-3384

With my company sign in your yard, your listing will be associated with one of the most successful and regionally recognized real estate companies in our area. My personalized yard sign is placed in a manner to draw attention to your home, direct potential buyers to my website, and to provide easy access to my professional flyers.

That is significant difference! Of course, these rates will vary as the prices of natural gas therms, electric kWh, and gallons of oil.

But it is important to know what bills may be awaiting you in your mailbox and making sure your budget for your new home includes these additional potential charges.

For example, say a buyer is moving into a home larger than their current home. All other things being equal (age of home, insulation, window quality), the bill to heat will most definitely be higher than what the buyer is paying in their current home.

The question is, “how high?” Looking back at the SaveGreenProject calculator, utilizing a mid-range efficiency heat pump to heat a 2500 square foot home to 69 degrees can cost $2,206 per year. All other things being equal, a jump to a 3,500 square foot home can cost $3,088 per year – a difference of $882 per year or $73.50 per month.

One other thing to keep in mind as you are budgeting is how much fuel you will need to purchase at once in the case of propane and oil tanks. In the event you are used to simply paying your gas bill each month, you might be shocked to learn that you have to pay for a tank of oil or propane in one purchase. Some propane and oil companies offer a “stay full” program which takes the average amount you use over a year, tops off your tank on a regular basis, and bills you monthly. However, they may want to track your activity for a year to find that before you can enter that program.

Sincerely,

Now on the flip side, buyers who choose to buy new or homes with energy-efficient upgrades may actually see a decrease in their monthly heating bills.

Going back to that 2500 square foot home, if we went from an older, less efficient heat pump ($2,985 to heat the home annually) to a newer, more efficient model ($1,790 to heat the home annually), this represents a savings of $1,195 per year!

If you are thinking about moving and have found your dream home, be sure and ask your real estate agent for the estimated monthly cost of utilities up front – especially for heating costs. Too often, buyers are so focused on applying for a loan, going through the inspection, and making sure their current living situation is being tied up nicely that they don’t take a potential increase – or decrease – in their monthly utility bills into account before the big move. And that can add up to hundreds of dollars per month.

SKILL BUILDING & BRANDING When we had Tyler’s Mastery Intake call, he impressed us with his priorities – he wanted to serve his family and his community. A Bellevue and Eastside native, Tyler’s vision of a perfect business was one where he had the time to spend with his family (five kids!) and focus on serving his clients. We focused on his website, a campaign for first time homebuyers,

open house materials, and his online profiles in order to give him reliable lead generation faucets that he could turn on and off as needed. With a background in flight (note the nod to flight imagery in his logo), Tyler not only needed a brand that would stand out but also would pay homage to his area.

L E A D G E N E R AT I O N & C L I E N T C A R E Nothing beats the feeling of walking into a home with buyers who feel instantly that this home is right for them. Handing the keys over to the new homeowners is another favorite moment. However, finding the right home usually requires time, dedication, and patience, so working efficiently and strategically is of critical importance.

Dear (insert client name),

$235,000 $265,000 $295,000 $310,000

When I start working with a new buyer, I usually find that a face-to-face meeting is the best way to begin.

When I learn more about my buyers’ situations and understand their preferences, goals, and budget, I can then search for properties that meet their needs. If you are the buyer, I also want to know what channels you have already used in your home search. If you have searched online for homes or attended open houses, we can discuss what home features, floor plans, and interiors caught your eye. I will then search with your best interests at heart.

I am enclosing for you your Annual Client Review. This Review is a service I provide every year to inform you about what has happened in the Real Estate market for your property and in your immediate neighborhood in the previous 12 months. It will give you valuable information about homes that have sold, their assessed values, and the relation between sales price and assessed value.

From the initial meeting we will create a search plan that works with your time constraints and priorities. In a fast-paced market we’ll want to get into certain homes as soon as they are listed.

I would like to stress that this is not a Comparative Market Analysis on your property. A Comparative Market Analysis takes into account many additional factors like what is currently listed on the market for sale. A home’s value cannot be determined without first examining what is available for sale (the competition) at the time a home is put on the market.

$282,686 to $329,800

I think it is imperative I keep you informed about what the sales prices have been in your neighborhood. You will notice variations in these sales prices. This is because I have shared with you information on all sales, not just a specific price range or home size.

Using average ratio, your home’s possible market value is: (average x total assessed value)

DIRECTIONS: Change the date, insert the client’s name, add a greeting that is appropriate for the situation such as “happy new year”, and sign with your name.

Greeting here.

Financing. During the initial meeting, we will talk more about your financial picture and your home-buying priorities. If you haven’t talked with a lender, I can recommend the names of several who will help you clarify your home-buying budget. Getting pre-approved is critical and puts you in a stronger position when you make an offer.

“Tyler was great to work with through the entire process! We couldn't be happier with our new home and appreciate everything Tyler did to help make it a smooth transaction. Moving from Chicago to Seattle area was a daunting task and one we would not have wanted to do without someone as professional and knowledgeable as Tyler.”

- Neal Kitchen

“Tyler helped me through the process of buying a HUD home. He helped me work through several last minute snags that the lender and seller sent our way and helped get the house closed quickly. In addition during the search process he helped us identify potential properties, and never stopped showing them to us, and offered honest and to the point advice.“ - zuser20131112115122325

“In the modern world where the MLS is public and accessible by anyone, real estate agents need new ways to add value to their clients. My wife and I interviewed a handful of agents and chose Tyler, mainly because of his experience in residential construction and his understanding of what to look for when touring homes. Tyler's real estate business acumen is highly ethical and I'd put him up against any agent in the market.

Additionally, his knowledge of the physical 456him Sunrise Court that | $577,000 123 Apple Drive | $779,000 house itself places in a category I'd days! also Soldsee. in 10 Sold in 18 days!other agents will never recommend Tyler for bank owned and distressed properties as well.”

- user6038144

“Tyler has been a pleasure to work with. He is extremely patient and listened to our concerns and always addressed each one. Tyler knows Issaquah well and was able to get us into houses before they came on the market.

Tyler went above and beyond a real estate agent by pitching in and helping to get our house ready to sell. I have no hesitations recommending Tyler. A true gem in the crazy process of buying a home.“ - Paul & Amy Bernhardt

We put Tyler through a lot as we were determined to get a great deal. He not only put up with us and our 7 month search for a house but he was also extremely fun to work with. Although our house search took a long time, we never doubted that he would find the right place for us.

Windermere has a great online tool to help you and I keep track of the homes we have looked at. You can create an online account through the Windermere website. Simply indicate on the website that you want to work with me, and we will be able to share listings. I will see what you have marked as your favorites, and we can share comments on homes of interest.

If you are considering selling, please contact me at least one month ahead of time if not more so if possible. This will allow me to not only come by and see the home to evaluate where your home might be in relation to the current market, but also to consult with you regarding buyer expectations regarding curb appeal, design standards, and suggestions for increasing your bottom line. Don’t get overwhelmed! I have a lot of resources I can help you with from landscaping to small projects requiring a handyperson.

During that initial meeting, I will also ask you a number of questions about the home – what you have remodeled, everything you love about it, dislike and even its quirks. I will take extensive notes during that walk through to help me find “listing dollars” – or those amenities that are in demand by buyers which will add value to your home.

Armed with the information I gathered during our Initial Meeting, I will do extensive pricing research. In my opinion, pricing a property involves much more than simply looking at recent sales in today’s market (done via a Comparative Market Analysis – CMA). I look at a number of other resources including Realist, the MLS, CityData, evaluating current supply and demand for your type of home. I look at days on market to determine how fast the market is moving as well as researching how fast current inventory is being “absorbed” or purchased by

the market. I also consult with other agents in my office who have had recent sales in the area to get their opinion on the range I propose.

One of my points of difference is bringing a stager in to evaluate your home through the eyes of potential buyers. Research shows that merchandising a home to appeal to the potential market for that home is a sure-fire way to “wow” those buyers. I provide a one-hour staging consultation. We will discuss the staging options for your home once the consultant has provided recommendations.

People are visual. If buyers encounter your home online before seeing it live, photography is the most important part of enticing them to schedule a tour with their agent. I always use professional, high-definition photography as, in my experience, that is what it takes to create the most traffic and attract the most buyers to schedule a live visit.

I also create virtual tours which create an experience for the potential buyer as they view your home online.

At that point, I will meet again with you and will share what I have found out about the real estate market on that very local scale and the measured demand for your type of home. We will discuss things like your timeline and financial goals and I will work with you to determine a price that is in line with your goals and the market.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, 92% of all buyers search for homes online. The goal is to get those buyers interested in taking a closer look at your home. Therefore it is critical to make sure your home information appears on the different websites where buyers may be searching. This is called “listing syndication”.
