ABOUT CHRIS RYAN P E R S O N A L R E A L E S TAT E C O R P O R AT I O N Chris is an author, Forbes contributor, multimillionaire real estate investor and adviser and a philanthropist.

As a seasoned real estate adviser of over 16 years, Chris Ryan is recognized as one of North America’s industry leaders in all facets of real estate. Chris is now focused on building a legacy that aims to make this world a healthier place from an environmental and humanitarian standpoint.

Prior to many of his notable successes and accolades in real estate, Chris authored a novel titled, “The Passion Hunt – Find Your Passion and Purpose in Life”. A key philosophy shared in his book includes the concept of full spectrum wealth, meaning “to be truly wealthy, one must achieve wealth in all areas of life such as physical, mental, spiritual, financial, relational and legacy wealth”.

He will publish and release this book in 2019.

Throughout his work and life, his overarching goal has been to make people more conscious of what really matters in life. In 2010, he enjoyed a few inspiring seconds of fame when he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show where he was shortlisted for an opportunity to have his own show.

Chris was showcased first on the sizzle reel which aired his message: “I want to make people more conscious”. From that experience he continued to level up his life, additionally fueled by his desire to create a loving family of his own and means to support them. Two years later he met his beautiful wife, Chelsea and married in 2015. In 2017, they welcomed their first son Andreas.

During this time, Chris went on to become the founder of his own real estate group called Luxury Lifestyles, which he later expanded to become Beyond Properties Group. Beyond Properties Group consists of heartfelt leaders joining together out of a desire to make a positive change in the real estate industry. They created their Core Values around giving back, transparency and evolving in both the industry and themselves. BPG takes on initiatives that are environmentally or humanitarian focused and has initiated beach cleanups around the world, building community and camaraderie by removing garbage from beaches and oceans.

SELLING WITH CHRIS PROVEN SUCCESS. PROVEN RESULTS. You have decided to sell your home. You’re anxious to start the process, but you really want to make sure you have the right people working to sell your home for all it’s worth. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down with an experienced real estate team and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame and detailed outline of the selling process.

But first, there are a few questions you may need to ask yourself before listing your home.

WHY SELL? Why do you want to sell your property? Do you plan on simply moving to a larger home or property, or do you plan on moving to another neighbourhood, school district, city or province?

You might think your reasons are obvious, but it would be helpful for you to consider the implications of each option for your lifestyle, opportunities, and finances. Being clear about your intentions for selling will make it easier for the agent to determine the most appropriate option for your specified financial, lifestyle, and real estate goals.

WHEN TO SELL? You should immediately establish your time frame for selling. For many sellers, it is an urgent matter, and for others, not so much. Obviously, serious sellers would like to sell as quickly as possible and for the most amount possible, however, it is good to know what the most effective plan of action is before listing your home. If you need to sell quickly, we can speed up the process by giving you a complete market analysis and action plan to obtain all of your goals. If there is no pressing need to sell immediately, you can sit down with one of our experienced agents to thoroughly review the current market conditions and find the most favourable time to for you to sell.

ANONYMOUS – CALM & HANDLED ISSUES EXPERTLY “We just bought a home with Karin’s help and were so thrilled with the outcome! She was calm when some issues came to light and handled them expertly. She took care of us and we appreciated that! If anyone needs real estate help we would definitely give them Karin’s number.”

MARKETING 101 MARKETING THE RIGHT WAY THE REAL FACTS When you’re ready to take the next step toward selling your home, We are here to help. Our comprehensive marketing plan will get your home seen by thousands of motivated buyers.

Ultimately, our goal is to get your home the most exposure necessary to highlight the best qualities of the home.

THE RIGHT PRICE We quickly put together a custom marketing plan with an effective price. A well priced home often generates competing offers and drives up the final sale value. Our market analysis takes into account the most actively searched prices and home values throughout your area, including expired listings and properties still on the market.

THE RIGHT EXPOSURE In marketing your home, we also develop a listing that emphasizes its unique and sellable aspects.

We then put your home in front of buyers, establishing it on the local MLS® as well as broader ones, new listings sheets, and real estate publications. Our nation-wide network of professional real estate contacts and buyers will also have the opportunity to check out your listing.

EFFECTIVE INTERNET MARKETING In addition, we will use the Internet and our innovative website to make your listing highly visible. With more than 80% of buyers checking the web first when looking for a home, this is a part of your marketing strategy that you can’t afford to miss.

THE BEST DEAL When you list your home with us, you’ll do so at no additional cost. When you start to get offers, we represent you during the emotionally charged negotiating process and ensure that you get the best price, and favourable closing terms that are clearly spelled out. As your professional aides, we also oversee all paperwork related to the sale.

MARKETING PRODUCTS Advertising is important. Exposure is key. Having the right products not only helps define your home, but also helps highlight the great qualities of your home. However, great qualities cannot be highlighted in poor products. They go hand-in-hand. Our premium marketing products meet and exceed the expectations of a luxury property for sale in the Calgary real estate market. These products include: YARD SIGNS: A great way to advertise the availability of your home to people with an interest in your neighborhood or those who are becoming acquainted with your community. A yard sign is one of the best ways to show your home is for sale. The Beyond Properties and eXp Realty yard sign is one of the most trusted real estate symbols in BC. Beyond Properties and eXp Realty Associates are known for their high quality service and advice. When home buyers see that sign in your yard, they understand that you’re working with a trusted brand and that you are marketing for maximum exposure.

BROKER TOURS & OPEN HOUSES: The broker tour opens up your home to agents from other various firms. It is a great, most effective, and most convenient way to expose the great qualities of your home that may be otherwise missed and for other agents to bring their buyers in to see your property. We help show off your home by bringing the best out of your home.

SALES BROCHURES & FACT SHEETS: We are committed to marketing your home with high quality materials that represents the time and effort you have taken in obtaining and maintaining your home.

PROFESSIONAL APPROACH SALES APPROACH Our team’s sales approach is simple — we do what it takes to sell your home in a timely manner.

COMPREHENSIVE: Even though our sales approach is comprehensive, communication is the vital component to my success. We are committed to involving you in every step of the process. Whether it is establishing a sales price, holding open houses, accepting offers, or closing the deal, we will communicate with you on a regular basis.

SALES INFO - DAYS ON MARKET: Lowering the number of days on the market is an essential asset to helping you move on with you life efficiently, financially and responsibly. It could be the difference between 10’s of 1000’s of dollars and can give you the piece of mind and comfort needed while making the next step in your life.

SALES INFO - LIST TO SALE PRICE: It’s one thing to close quickly, but most agents who have quick closings usually end up costing you more money and are typically below the market average. However, it takes a dedicated, well organized, well-informed team to close quickly for above average list to sale price. The difference can be thousands of dollars in your pocket.

Throughout the process Chris was extremely helpful, often going above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for us. We are really happy with our new place and it is exactly what we were looking for. We feel lucky to have had such a great agent who made the process as efficient and stress free as possible.”

YOUR HOME’S WORTH HOME EVALUATION One of the most important question most people looking to sell their home have is: “What will my house sell for in today’s market?”

We have a very dynamic real estate market. Prices can change due to local, regional, national and international economic conditions, net migration to the city, political sentiment and of course inventory levels determined by supply and demand.

You need to have a real estate professional like me to give you a comprehensive look at properties that have sold in your neighborhood in the recent past. This is critical!

Factors that determine what your home is worth: - area above grade and total number of bedrooms - recent renovations, upgrades and/or updating - basement development with a bedroom and/or a suite plus walkout - number of garage parking stalls - location in the community: quiet or busy street, cul-de-sac, across from a park, views, etc.

Another important factor is the opinion of value. Properties priced too high will sit on the market and become “shop worn.” Ideally, the property should be priced at Comparable Market Value.

Studies continue to show that a property listed at 15% over market value has a 20% probability of sale; 10% over market value has a 30% probability of sale; 5% over market value has a 50% probability of sale. Properties priced at market value have a 95% probability of sale.

The method most often used in evaluating single family homes is the Comparable Method. A property is worth what the buyer is willing to pay for it and this is determined by the basic laws of supply and demand. These two factors are evaluated by comparing the home with similar homes that have sold within the market area, with appropriate consideration given to location, amenities lot size, condition, and financing terms.

13

PRICING YOUR HOME THE IMPORTANCE OF PRICING CORRECTLY There are many factors involved that lead to the successful sale of your home. However, two very key components stand out from the rest. These components are an essential part of the process.

FIRST: Pricing your home correctly is so important. An overpriced home can be detrimental in the end, while an undervalued property certainly doesn’t always generate the buzz it needs.

Pricing your home properly takes an experience team that understands the market and has a track record of success. The last thing you want is for your home to stay on the market longer than expected. At that time, interest starts to diminish and perception of the home could go from positive to negative.

SECOND: Attract buyers immediately. Sellers and agents tend to experiment with price by starting high and dropping it over time. This rationale is not the best approach.

A listing gets the most attention on its debut. As the WALL STREET JOURNAL reports, the week that a listing goes on the market, we estimate that it gets nearly four times more visits on real estate websites than it does a month later, which is when most sellers will initiate a price reduction.

MARKETING 101 ACCEPTING THE OFFER THE PRICE IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT “The higher the price, the better the offer.” Do not let yourself be fooled by this popular misconception. Price is not always the determining factor when accepting an offer for several important reasons: the initial offer is usually not final, and there are a number of terms and conditions that may influence the final outcome of a price. You can trust the us to help you thoroughly evaluate every proposal without compromising your marketing position.

NEGOTIATING THE RIGHT WAY We take the ethical responsibility of fairly negotiating contractual terms very seriously. It is our job to find a win-win agreement that is beneficial to all parties involved. You may even have to deal with multiple offers before ratifying the one you judge to be the most suitable for you – and as your representatives, we guarantee a thorough and objective assessment of each offer to help you make the right choice.

THE INITIAL AGREEMENT AND DEPOSIT An effective agreement is a legal arrangement between a potential purchaser and the property’s seller. Laws vary, but in order to be a legally binding agreement, the agreement may require consideration. This consideration (initial and additional deposit) is to be held in trust pending the fulfilment of conditions or contingencies in the effective agreement.

KEEP WRITTEN RECORDS OF EVERYTHING For the sake of clarity, it will be extremely useful to transcribe all verbal agreements including counter-offers and addendums, and convert them to written agreements to be signed by both parties. We assist you in drafting all the paperwork for your sale and make sure that you have copies of everything.

STICK TO THE SCHEDULE Now that you have chosen your offer, you and the buyer will be given a timeline to mark every stage in the process of closing the real estate contract. Meeting the requirements on time ensures a smoother flow of negotiations and also ensures that each party involved is not in breach of their agreements. During the process we will keep you constantly updated so you will always be prepared for the next step.
