Alex Felicetti Seller Guide

Dear Valued Client,

Welcome to a real estate experience that centers around YOU! I am Alexandra Felicetti, but you can call me Alex, and I am delighted that you are here!

My family and I made the move to NJ from NYC in 2018 and never looked back! With the help of Pollock Properties Group, we secured our forever home in West Orange, and now, I am part of the team as a REALTOR/Sales Associate.

I come to the world of real estate in a roundabout, yet very direct way. After working in the not-for-profit performing arts world (at New York City Ballet and New York City Center) for two decades, I shifted into full-time suburban life, tapping into my love of homes and the JOY of working with this team by becoming a full-time agent My mother was a realtor, and I spent every summer home from college working in her office, knowing that someday I would also work to help people find THEIR dream home.

I can’t imagine being anywhere else – I knew when I first met Vanessa Pollock, the team’s Founder and visionary, that I needed to work with her and help to further what she has built PPG’s mission to CARE SERVE GIVE inspires me every single day giving back to our community through the best possible care and service that we can extend to our clients and friends is a dream And, through this mission, we have donated almost $500,000 to charities and organizations of our client’s choosing, combined with our own focus of what’s dear to our hearts

And here’s where YOU come in!

As we care for YOU during the largest transaction of your lifetime, we combine our high-tech, high-touch, and high-design approach with our industry savvy, serving YOU at the highest level possible, and making this a true win-win experience for all YOU are the center of your story, and your goals become our mission. As agents, we are supported by an incredible team, and together, we work to ensure that our clients feel as if they’re the only ones we have You will see in this guide that we have had the privilege of serving over 1150 families, and our commitment to each one of them is what sets us apart

I couldn’t be more honored to have the opportunity to be on your team during this special chapter

My very best,

AlexandraFelicetti

PROCURE BUYER: Oursortheirs...

Should you prefer to sell your home as an Exclusive Listing (“Off Market”) or casting a wide net via the GSMLS, we will help you decide what plan is best for you.*

PRICING IS A STRATEGY

You have a choice in how your home is priced:

COMPETITIVE PRICING MARKET VALUE PRICING

You can choose to price your home competitively, so that Buyers will be driven to compete for it Although it cannot be guaranteed, this pricing strategy gives you the highest likelihood to receive multiple offers that could drive the price UP

With this data-driven approach, you choose to price your home based on the current inventory of homes that are actively on the market, as well as the recent sales that are comparable to your home This will line up your listing price with the eventual appraisal report that your Buyer will obtain, making the mortgage process smoother

ASPIRATIONAL PRICING

You might choose to “test the market” at a high dream list price It is important to know though that the GSMLS showed an average sale price of 103% of list prices in 2023 Therefore, if you list your home for your dream price and do not have an offer(s) within the first two weekends on the market, then the market will have spoken, and it will be time to drop your price to the market-driven pricing strategy

We are here to support your pricing strategy: What is best for you?

Design

Your NJ Realty transfer tax: approximately $4,000 - 9,000 for homes selling $500,000 - $950,000

Your real estate attorney: approximately $1,800-2,000 flat fee to oversee attorney review, negotiate inspection issues and oversee your closing

Approximately $3,000$10,000 will cover most home inspection issues, as either repairs or credits at closing (This can be higher if major structural, environmental or mechanical issues are revealed, OR much lower if the house is completely renovated )

I'm a real estate photographer and I work with many agents all over North Jersey Whenever anyone asks me who I'd recommend, whether buying or selling, Pollock Properties Group is the only name I give out In terms of organization, marketing, communication, and end results, they blow everyone out of the water Their competition isn't even close Their listings are so beautifully staged that they make up the majority of my portfolio But why I love them so much is that they are a dream to work with Every single person I've ever interacted with has been overly courteous, responsive, professional, and made me feel like part of their family If this is how they treat the photographers they hire, I can only imagine how great of an experience it is to be their client

TESTIMONIALS

I cannot speak highly enough of our realtor, Alex Felicetti We knew immediately that Alex was someone we could trust to guide us through the process of finding our next home Her unwavering support, coupled with her expertise and the resources provided by PPG, transformed what could have been a daunting experience into a memorable journey Ultimately, Alex helped us find our perfect home in our ideal location

What truly sets Alex and PPG apart is their commitment to their clients throughout the entire process, extending well beyond the offer acceptance stage We also had the pleasure of working with Heather Lindquist, who, alongside Alex, ensured that we had everything we needed to ensure a smooth closing

If you ' re seeking a real estate team that prioritizes your needs and consistently goes the extra mile for their clients, then I cannot recommend Alex and PPG enough!

Alex was BEYOND helpful from start to finish and I likely wouldn’t have made it through the home buying process without her! She was professional, prompt, compassionate, and proved to be genuinely and wholeheartedly in love with her job and an overall great human being! The value on the important parts of what a home and community represent among the entire PPG team is evident I could not be happier with my experience with Alex and PPG!

The best home buying experience we could have hoped for! We connected with Alex at an open house by chance and feel so lucky to have found her She helped us nab the house of our dreams and was such a joy to work with throughout the whole process Her supportive nature, generous spirit, fun personality and stellar communication skills made what could have been a stressful experience (searching for a home with just a few months to go before our baby was born) into a manageable, exciting one She is a gem, and we will be recommending her to all our home-buying friends in the future

Alex made our home-buying process a breeze, which was no easy feat during a competitive market (summer 2022) in very popular commuter towns When we started, we had low expectations due to hearing discouraging stories from others who gave up on their search, yet with Alex’s help we found our dream home at our original budget in under 2 months It felt more like house-hunting with a friend, yet she was always knowledgeable, honest, transparent, and matterof-fact about our options We never felt pressured to look outside our price range or rush the process And having done renovation work on her own home, her eye for what type of work could help make listed homes suit your needs and budget is invaluable!

We were first time homebuyers looking to work with someone knowledgeable about the local neighborhood and housing market Alex Felicetti with Pollock Properties Group was the right choice for us: she listened to what we were looking for in a home, helped us prioritize must-haves vs nice-to-haves, and kept us at the top of her mind as soon as a house came on the market The personal care and attention she provided made us feel extremely comfortable navigating an extremely challenging market, and that translated into our confidence with the PPG team as we went through all the steps -- from viewing listings, deciding to prepare an offer, and working through everything once our offer was accepted

Throughout our buying process, Alex was extremely patient and attentive as we took time to make our decision, explained things very clearly, and demonstrated the best blend of professional, warm, and friendly She has a stellar memory (we saw a LOT of properties together!), and was always willing to step in to offer great observations, referrals, and helpful insights so that we felt informed and prepared when making decisions We're very excited and pleased with our home and how we got to it, and are very thankful to have worked with Alex -- we highly recommend working with her and the entire team!

When you sell your home with us, you won’t get the typical closing gift of a cutting board or bottle of bubbly Instead, we ask you to pick the charity of your choice and we donate to that charity instead! Start thinking about what charity you and your entire family is most passionate about, so that we can honor that important decision!
