Clients can expect a seamless, personalized, and highly effective real estate experience that consistently achieves outstanding results.

Client Testimonials From start to finish Tracey was absolutely spectacular. We couldn't say enough about Tracey's performance throughout the process. We relocated to Michigan and were out of town for most of the process. She was especially helpful finding and coordinating with various contractors (pre and post sale) to get the house ready for sale/closing. Multiple times we joked about Tracey moving to Michigan in order to help us find our next house!

-JOSH T.

Tracey’s professionalism, kindness, knowledge and compassion in my situation went above and beyond all expectations. Handled professionally and with caring and compassion. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Excellent realtor and absolutely one of the best in the business.

-SUE M.

I've now worked with Tracey as a Buyer and a Seller and both experiences were wonderful. I worked with Tracey first as a Buyer and her work ethic was so strong and personality wonderful that when I decided to list my house I didn't even consider using another Agent. I called Tracey and she made the stressful process as easy as it could be! I would definitely work with Tracey again as a Buyer or a Seller and will continue to recommend her to friends and family! Thanks Tracey!

-JESSICA H.

Tracey was recommended by a friend and from the start we found her to be very helpful professional and friendly. We'll probably stay in touch with her as a friend as we move into the Hendersonville area.

NICK A.

Client Testimonials I have worked with Tracey on several transactions over the past 10+ years. She's as good as it gets. Her knowledge of the industry is next level but what really stands out is the fact that she genuinely cares about your best interests and puts that as her top priority. No one else I would work with or recommend.

-CAMERON M.

I have used Tracey Rich as my agent to buy and sell two homes and can say without a doubt she is amazing! Highly recommend to buyers and sellers alike!

-LYNNE C.

She would go out of her way to help with the sale of the property. Very knowledgeable of the area. We have worked with Tracey earlier on the purchase of this house and were very impressed with her. She is a very professional agent.Tracey came across as having a crystal ball in terms of what the buyer was willing to pay for the property. She was "right on"!

-TOM AND TIL T.

Tracey has been a great representative for us during the entire process. She continually went above and beyond to ensure our home buying experience went seamlessly. This was an incredible stress reliever as we were buying a home virtually during a global pandemic from across the country. Tracey helped us at every step of the way. And when we had questions she got us answers immediately. Again Tracey was the consummate professional through the entire process. We are thankful to have worked with such a knowledgeable and conscientious real estate agent.

What I Do For

You

SELLING A HOME SUCCESSFULLY REQUIRES EXPERIENCE, TIME AND RESOURCES.

EXPERIENCE Based on my experience, I know that pinpointing an optimal asking price, advising you on preparing your home for the market, scheduling a professional photographer and assembling quality marketing pieces are all part of the equation. There are many steps that go into place before you receive an offer. I will be your guide and partner in this.

TIME Selling a home involves hours of preparation, phone calls, emails and paperwork that you shouldn't have to worry about. I will take care of it all for you.

NEGOTIATION Working on your behalf, I have the patience, credentials, and connections to ensure negotiations stay positive and move towards closing.

MARKETING Keeping your home in front of potential buyers requires marketing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and includes yard signs, brochures, ads, direct mail, my personal website as well as our Luxury Homes website.

All backed by the number one luxury brokerage in the United States.

When your listing goes live, here's how to interpret the response: NO SHOWINGS/VISITORS THE PRICE MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE MARK

Smart Pricing Setting the right price for your home from the beginning is essential to maximize its sale potential. Overpricing can lead to various drawbacks such as:

1

REPELLING POTENTIAL BUYERS In markets experiencing appreciation, buyers are already cautious about overpaying. Setting an excessively high price can discourage potential buyers, resulting in your home lingering on the market and diminishing its perceived value.

2

ATTRACTING UNFAVORABLE ATTENTION

APPRASIAL CHALLENGES

EXHAUSTING EFFORTS

Homes with extended days on the market often attract opportunistic buyers seeking to capitalize on the situation. To secure a fair market value or higher, it's crucial to make a strong impression when your property first enters the market.

If your buyer is securing a loan, the property must meet the lender's appraisal requirements. Failing to do so may empower the buyer to legally withdraw from the deal, risking only their option fee and inspection expenses.

Keeping your home in a presentable condition for showings demands considerable time and energy. Investing excessive effort into this aspect could be better utilized elsewhere, making the selling process smoother and more efficient.

Staging Strategies for Home Selling

Minimize Clutter Clearing out clutter is essential, as it helps potential buyers envision the maximum potential of the property. Now is an opportune moment to declutter and organize.

Repair & Fix Attend to any minor damages or fixes in your home that are noticeable, ensuring these tasks are completed before the house is showcased.

Keep it Neutral While personalized colors may be enjoyable, they might not appeal to everyone. Opt for repainting with neutral hues and keep personal items out of view to help buyers imagine themselves in the home.

Curb Appeal Matters The initial external view of your home makes a lasting impression. Ensure the exterior is inviting, which helps prospects see it as their prospective home.

Update & Enhance Stay current with design trends to attract buyers. Rearrange furniture to improve the home's flow, or bring in modern lighting and wall art to make the space stand out.

Advertising Your

Property

What We Do Experience unparalleled property promotion through our innovative approaches. With a dynamic fusion of these strategic tools and more, we ensure your property receives the spotlight it deserves, reaching a vast and engaged audience for maximum impact.

Premier Digital Destinations Ensure your exceptional property captures the attention of a high-net-worth audience.

We'll feature your listing on premier online platforms, such as the Wall Street Journal and Mansion Global, where a collective 105 million unique visitors per month guarantee unparalleled exposure and access to quality leads for your home.

Social Media Campaigns Placing your home at the forefront of a robust social media campaign is a proven strategy to generate interest. Your property becomes a focal point in a carefully crafted digital campaign, reaching and resonating with ideal home-buying candidates.

Signature Online Listing Feed The KWLS, a powerful search engine, extends your property's online presence, connecting with serious and qualified buyers across the internet.

Unique Property Site Leverage the impact of an individual property site to effectively showcase your home, generating both online interest and increased foot traffic.

Video and 3D Walkthrough Just as photography and staging work their magic, video is a dynamic tool to ignite buyer interest. It showcases the unique features of your property, offering a compelling visual.

Particularly valuable for out-of-town buyers, video provides an immersive experience when private showings or open houses may not be accessible.

8-POINT

Marketing Plan Home Preparation

Visual Technology

Disclosure Package

Print Media & Collateral

Many items that are done to prepare the property for showing can help increase the property value and market response for comparatively little cost. Regardless of the current market conditions, a wellprepared home will sell for a higher price and in less time than an unprepared property.

Gorgeous photos, videos, 3-D tours and virtual reality executed by visual and digital professionals can make all the difference in creating a sense of urgency, while motivating both buyers and agents to see your home. Working closely with these professionals will accentuate your home in its best light.

Compliance with statutory and contractual obligations is critical. Putting together these documents in a pre-sale disclosure package can alleviate the risk of falling out of contract due to contingencies.

This may also include required disclosures, current HOA documents and more.

Paper is still very much en vogue despite today’s ever-changing digital world. From captivating property brochures to alluring direct mail campaigns, print media has the remarkable capability to trigger a number of critical senses, helping a buyer fall in love with your property.

Digital Media Syndication

Social Media Promotion

Property Tours & Showings

Networking & Follow-ups

According to the National Association of Realtors, 86% of recent buyers found online websites as the most useful source of information. Keller Williams Listing System, or KWLS, ensures your property is marketed online 24/7 through more than 350 of the most popular searched websites.

The key to a successful social media campaign is precise target marketing through organizations like Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and Instagram Ads. This allows us to target prospective clients according to demographics, topics of interest, and so much more to ensure exceptional exposure.

Open houses and broker tours give so much more exposure to a seller's home whether it's being promoted with yard signs strategically located around the neighborhood, word of mouth, or internet ads private showings ensure more exposure with pre-qualified, serious buyers.

Marketing campaigns must include effective components to reach the agents who represent the buyers that are most likely to seriously consider purchasing your home.

Our referral network gives us exclusive access to specialists, both locally and internationally, to ensure we find the most qualified buyer for your property.

Custom

Marketing Materials Print Brochures + Flyers Unique’s marketing dept crafts premium brochures that showcase each listing's distinctive qualities. Buyers receive full-color brochures with high-quality images and detailed narratives highlighting property features.

Digital Brochures / E-Flyers Digital brochures reach Realtors across Asheville and the U.S. through an expansive email database, leveraging modern technology with integrated videos and interactive elements for a dynamic presentation.

Home Showings FLEXIBLE

Be as flexible and accommodating to the buyers schedule as possible. We want to avoid having missed opportunities if at all possible.

INFORMED Make sure everyone in the home is informed when showings are to happen so they can keep their spaces clean.

DAILY CLEANING Keep up with daily messes. Wipe down kitchen and bathroom counters before leaving for the day.

ODORS Avoid strong-smelling foods: Keep your meal prep as neutral and simple as possible.

FURRY FRIENDS Keep pet areas clean. Clean up after your pets immediately and wash their bedding regularly.

Hide pet food or litter. Not everyone is a pet person and it may hinder a potential buyers ability to picture themselves living in your home.

NATURAL LIGHT Open blinds and curtains and let in as much natural light as possible. Leave lights on before you leave for a showing.

TRASH Empty trash cans to avoid any odors. Try to empty trash cans nightly so that the home is fresh when you leave for the day.

TEMPERATURE Keep the room temperature comfortable. This demonstrates to buyers that the HVAC is working properly.

PERSONALS Make sure you place all valuables and prescriptions out of sight and in a safe place.

VACATE Having a seller present can make buyers feel awkward. We want to make the buyers feel at home and stay awhile.

Offers Price is just one of many considerations when deciding which offer is best for your home. Here are some of the other factors that matter.

CONTINGENCIES The fewer contingencies on an offer the better. Shorter time periods are also valuable.

ALL CASH BUYER A cash offer is usually more appealing than a finance offer as the seller doesn’t need to worry about the bank approving the loan.

PRE-APPROVAL Assures home sellers that the buyer can get the loan they need.

LOAN TYPE A conventional loan is often the least complicated. This is an appealing choice for sellers.

An FHA loan can cause delays because they require certain repairs and approvals.

CLOSING TIMELINE You might need to close quickly to move on to the next adventure, or you might need to extend the closing to allow time for the next home to be ready. Choosing the offer with the closing time that fits your needs will be most attractive to you.

CLOSING COSTS Sometimes an offer comes in high, but the buyer asks you to pay a percentage of the buyer’s closing costs.

REPAIR REQUESTS If the home needs some repairs, but you don’t have the time or money to do them, a buyer who is willing to do them for you might be what you need.

OFFER PRICE Of course, price matters too! If a high offer will cost you more in closing costs, repairs, or other factors—then it probably won’t be the better offer.

Negotiations

after an offer is submitted WE CAN:

THE BUYER CAN THEN:

OFFER IS ACCEPTED:

• Accept the offer

• Accept the counter offer

• Counter offer

• Counter offer

You will sign the purchase agreement and you are now officially under contract!

A counter-offer is when you offer different terms to the buyer.

You can negotiate back and forth as many times as needed until you can reach an agreement or someone chooses to walk away.

This period of time is called the Due Diligence period.

Now inspections, appraisals, or anything else built into your purchase agreement will take place.

Contract

To Closing

Home Inspections & Appraisal Appraisal If the buyer is seeking a loan to purchase your home they will need to have an appraisal performed by the bank to verify the home is worth the loan amount. As a seller we want the property to appraise for at least the sale amount or more. It is very difficult to successfully contest your appraisal. An experienced agent demonstrates certain strategies to reveal the value of the home prior to the appraisal.

APPRAISAL COMES IN AT OR ABOVE SALE PRICE You are in the clear, and closing can be begin!

FAQ INSPECTION TIME FRAME TYPICALLY 10-14 DAYS AFTER SIGNING CONTRACT. NEGOTIATIONS USUALLY HAPPEN WITHIN 5 DAYS.

COSTS NO COST TO THE SELLER. THE BUYER WILL CHOOSE AND PURCHASE THE INSPECTION PERFORMED BY THE INSPECTOR OF THEIR CHOICE.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES INSPECTIONS AND POTENTIAL REPAIRS ARE USUALLY ONE OF THE TOP REASONS A SALE DOES NOT CLOSE.

APPRAISAL COMES IN BELOW SALE PRICE

COMMON PROBLEMS COULD BE

•Renegotiate the sale price with the buyer •Renegotiate with the buyer to cover the difference •Cancel and re-list •Consider an alternative all-cash offer

AFTER EVALUATION:

FOUNDATION, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, PESTS, STRUCTURAL, MOLD, OR RADON.

BUYER CAN ACCEPT AS IS BUYER CAN OFFER TO RENEGOTIATE BUYER CAN CANCEL CONTRACT

ClosingThe Sale What To Expect

Closing is when funds and documents are transferred in order to transfer ownership of the property to the buyer. The closing attorney will look over the contract and find out what payments are owed by who, prepare documents for closing, perform the closing, make sure all payoffs are completed, the buyer’s title is recorded, and that you receive payoffs that are due to you.

YOUR COSTS Seller commonly pays: Mortgage balance & penalties if applicable Any claims against your property Unpaid assessments on your property Real estate agent compensation as agreed Title insurance policy Home warranty

WHAT TO BRING Sellers need to bring to closing: A government picture ID House keys Garage door openers Mailbox and any other spare keys

AFTER CLOSING Keep copies of the following for taxes: Copies of all closing documents All home improvement receipts

Final Steps For Seller CLOSE ACCOUNTS In preparation for closing, schedule utility accounts to end as of the closing date. Home owners insurance is the one caveat to this as you will want the coverage to overlap with the new owner by 1-2 days. Keep a list of phone numbers for each of your utility and entertainment companies for the new owner.

CHANGE ADDRESS Let everyone know your new address. Submit a change-of-address form to the post office.

TURN EVERYTHING OFF Turn off valves to the sinks, toilets, appliances, and water heater. Turn off all light switches and fans. Lastly, call the electric company.

DOCUMENTS Secure all closing documents as well as the contract and closing documents. Keep them in a safe place.

GATHER HOME PAPERWORK Put together a packet of manuals, receipts, and any warranties as well.

CLEAR OUT PERSONALS Move out your personal belongings completely.

Check all drawers, cabinets, and closets.

CLEAN Ensure that your home is completely clean upon leaving the home. Clean the cabinets, refrigerators, and other appliances inside and out. Thoroughly clean out the garage. Schedule trash pick up prior to the day of closing. Leave your home the way you would like to find it if you were the buyer.

INCIDENTALS Leave all house keys, remotes, gate keys, pool keys, and mailbox keys in a drawer in the kitchen.

FLOORS Vacuum and sweep floors one more time.

LOCK UP Ensure all blinds are closed, and lock the windows and doors.
