MY SELLING EXPERIENCE 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 person working to sell your home for all it’s worth.

Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down with an experienced agent 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 neighborhood, school district, city or state? 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 SHOULD I 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, I 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 me to thoroughly review the current market conditions and find the most favorable time to for you to sell.

ARE YOU DEALING WITH AN EXPERT? Did you know that the average agent sells or helps their client buy only 8 homes per year? Did you know that 45% of real estate agents spend less than $500 per year on training and professional development. These are the facts, so how do you know if your agent is an expert when it comes to helping you buy a home?

MARKETING THE RIGHT WAY THE REAL FACTS When you’re ready to take the next step toward selling your home, I am here to help!

My comprehensive marketing plan will get your home seen by thousands of motivated buyers. Ultimately, my goal is to get your home the most exposure necessary to highlight the best qualities of the home.

THE RIGHT PRICE I’ll 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. My 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, I also develop a listing that emphasizes its unique and sellable aspects. I 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. My nation-wide network of professional real estate contacts and buyers will also have the opportunity to check out your listing.

MY 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. My premium marketing products meet and exceed the expectations of a luxury property. 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 the #1 way to show your home is for sale.

The RE/MAX yard sign are the most trusted real estate symbols in Canada. RE/MAX Real Estate 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. I help show off your home by bringing the best out of your home.

SALES BROCHURES & FACT SHEETS: I am 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.

MY SALES APPROACH COMPREHENSIVE: While my sales approach is comprehensive, communication is the vital component to my success. I am 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, I will communicate with you on a regular basis. As my results on the following page will indicate, my sales approach simply works.

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. price. The difference can be thousands of dollars in your pocket.

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!

There are many factors that determine what your home is worth in today’s market including: - 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-desac, across from a park or green space, views, proximity to neighbors, 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.

YOUR MARYL CREATING POSSIBILITIES

LAND AGENT THROUGH IDEAS & DREAMS

PRICING YOUR HOME There are many factors involved that lead to the successful sale of your home. However, there are two very key components that 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. Below shows the best time to sell and your window of opportunity. By taking advantage of these models, you can price your home properly, create a buzz and gain traffic to your home.

ATTRACT BUYERS NOW! 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.

Activity (Amount of Interest)

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.

Time on Market (Weeks) Your Asking Price

II TRUSTED ADVICE II WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY Sellers often make the mistake of wanting to price their homes high at the start, with the assumption that they can always reduce the price to a more realistic level later on. However, interest peaks when your home is fresh to the market and often declines as time goes on.

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 me to help you thoroughly evaluate every proposal without compromising your marketing position.

NEGOTIATING THE RIGHT WAY I’ll take the ethical responsibility of fairly negotiating contractual terms very seriously. It is my 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 agent, I will 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. I will 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 time line 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 I will keep you constantly updated so you will always be prepared for the next step.

WEB SYNDICATION I use the Internet and all online tools to help sell your home. With more than 90% of buyers checking the web, getting online is the most effective and efficient way to connect with potential buyers. My web presence and online network will help me show your home to thousands of buyers online.

Below shows that 99% of people search for a home using three main search engines. I make sure to connect with as many potential buyers and agents with buyers as possible on these platforms.

More than half of all homebuyers search online first when looking to purchase a home. It is vitally important that your home receives the exposure it needs in order to sell. My web syndications allows your home to be shown on high-traffic websites as well as my own.

TESTIMONIALS “Jenni was very professional and always available for consultation/questions regarding all details with the selling of my home in Montgomery county. I have known her for years, used her for various transactions and I always walk away amazed at how competent she is. I have and will continue to recommend her to friends in search of a real estate agent to help in the sale of their home or looking for one. I can not sing her praises enough.”

W. McCulley “Jenni was a real professional! When she wasn’t immediately available to answer our phone calls, she ALWAYS got back to us promptly. She was extremely knowledgeable and educated us in all aspects of selling a home. She made sure everything was completely ready for settlement on our end, as well as the buyer’s agent’s responsibilities.”

Anonymous “I’ve Jenni did a great job helping me get my house ready for the market, and her efforts in advertising the property were successful in that I received an offer within a few days of listing it. She is friendly and pleasant to work with and demonstrates an attitude of really caring about her clients. I would recommend her as a realtor to any friends or family without hesitation.”

“Jenni Davies had a full ask offer on my one bedroom condo before it even went on the market. Eight months pregnant at the time, I was overwhelmed at the prospect of selling a property. Jenni made the experience smooth and relatively stress free. She has an excellent team and I was impressed with the dedication and professionalism I witnessed.”

Jossim “Had a very difficult sale in nearly every stage of the process,

but went above and beyond to close the deal. I was out of town for much of the process, so Jenni helped us find excellent cleaners/stagers and lawn care pros. When the appraisal came in low, she found out that one of the neighborhood comps was not included and worked to get it revised (and increased substantially). She also put us in touch with all the contractors we needed to satisfy the buyers. Without a doubt the top realtor in the Oakview neighborhood.”
