The average real estate agent sells 4-8 homes per year The average real estate agent makes less than $40,000 per year The average real estate agent spends less than $150 per month in marketing The average real estate agent is only required to take up to 120 hrs of training to begin selling real estate • The average accepted offer an average agent will negotiate is up to 11% below your original asking price • In many years, up to 47% of the homes listed for sale FAILED TO SELL We can help. The Tricia Turner Properties Group is known for selling homes for up to 18% more than your average agent, and has developed a Home Selling System to get you the best price for your home no matter what the market conditions are.

It’s all about accountability and systems.

You may find this odd, but the number one reason a buyer chooses an agent for a home they found on the Internet is the time it takes an agent to respond to their inquiry. In fact 70% of Internet buyers picked that as the reason for choosing their agent. The industry standard is 16 hours (as unbelievable as that seems), but ours is as little as 60 seconds – with a maximum of 15 minutes in extreme cases. We have Immediate Response Systems that offer a live response in 5 minutes or less, 16 hours per day, 7 days per week. The connect rate offered by this system is 106X that offered by other agents in our market place. We also have a professionally trained sales team that is committed and held accountable to responding to buyer inquiries.

Not only is our sales team trained to be the experts in marketing, but also negotiations. Being a strong negotiator requires a thorough understanding of not only the real estate sales process, but also how to get from point A to point B without sabotaging your deal.

In many cases, the agent who is representing you in the sale of your home may need to sell your home more than you do. Consequently, his/her negotiation strategies and advice could be biased and can save thousands of dollars off the proceeds you receive at closing.

At Tricia Turner Properties, we work with a team of qualified specialists to help with the sale of your home, from beginning to end. We have put together a full marketing team, as well as a Preferred Partner Program, which involves a list of vendors that we know, like, and trust.

No truly successful company on the planet has one person doing everything, including the real estate company you hire. We would love to be your expert home selling advisors.

With over 25 years in the real estate industry, and having SOLD thousands of homes, TTP has put together some amazing plans and programs that are unique to our organization, and have the best results in achieving our goals. One of our goals was to make sure that we were different than our competition. No other real estate company has employed such strategies and opportunities to help the consumer experience.

We were totally comfortable in leaving the state and our property in Tricia’s hands, knowing that she was an expert and had our best interests in mind. Tricia was totally understanding and receptive to our needs, and always patiently listened to us and gave us expert advice every step of the way.

4 REASONS HOMES DON’T SELL POOR MARKETING: Gone are the days when an agent could simply place your listing with the local multiple listing service, stick a sign in the yard, and wait for another agent to bring forth a buyer. In the past 7 years computers and the internet have changed the face of real estate.

Most agents haven’t kept up. According to the National Association of Realtors (2014 study), 90% of all home buyers now use the Internet for house hunting. Top listing agents like Tricia Turner are computer-savvy, putting listings on lots of web sites, a particular benefit when working with out-of-town buyers.

Believe it or not, less than 7% of agents are trained in the fine art of sales and marketing.

There are those who rely on a yard sign to do their work for them, and those that put a lot of effort into marketing their listings. In sales and marketing for over 25 years, Tricia spends countless hours and money per month implementing sensational, effective marketing plans for her listings.

BAD PHOTOS: You might be surprised how many buyers say ‘NO!’ to houses simply because of poor photos used in ads, internet or on the Multiple Listing Service. It’s even more amazing that agents let them discard a house based on that criteria, but it happens all the time. Good photos are not always easy to get. The sun isn’t always in an ideal position for the photo. The agent might not be capable of taking a good picture, or is just plain lazy.

Make sure the house is well represented in all photographs. Tricia hires a professional photographer who will take amazing photos that will work to get your home SOLD. YOU HAD A LOUSY AGENT AGENT: Yep, they exist: Real estate agents who mislead, misfire and misbehave. Their bad advice can cost you plenty in time, money and the sheer hassle of keeping the place show-ready 24/7. The wrong agent will misrepresent (“Here’s what I can get for you if you list with me!”), not market it properly, fail to screen for qualified buyers, be unresponsive to interest from other agents and keep you totally in the dark throughout the process.

What’s more, if your agent is abrasive, arrogant or simply unknowledgeable, other agents may not want the hassle of showing any of their listings to prospective buyers. Tricia is well liked and well respected by agents in the real estate community and will work hard to get you the best price in the least amount of time. Plus you’ll get feedback on every showing, great communication and no long-term commitment! You can cancel the listing anytime!

PRICING: Some home sellers want to price their homes above market value, because they think the cushion gives them more negotiating room. But what overpricing actually does is eliminate potential buyers. Others price their homes too low, causing potential buyers to wonder ‘what’s wrong with it?’ Tricia will work with you to get the most money in the least amount of time.

“My experience working with Tricia Turner was exceptional, and better than I could have imagined. She was professional and attentive which made the process of selling my home very comfortable. My house listed on a Thursday evening and by Saturday night I had six offers. The following Monday I had a contract on my house. We are set to close in late September. I did not expect everything to go so smoothly and quickly, but it did. I could not be happier with the choice I made to work with Tricia Turner. I would recommend hiring Tricia Turner for anyone looking to buy or sell property. She really knows her stuff!”

SHOWING YOUR HOME When it’s time for buyer’s agents to show your home, all your preparations will be worth the effort. Here are a few final tips that can add that extra touch.

• The television and radio should be turned off. Let the buyer’s agent and buyer talk, free of disturbances.

• Send children and pets outdoors to play. This will eliminate confusion and keep the prospect’s attention focused on your home.

• Be absent during showings. Many prospects feel like intruders when owners/occupants are present. They tend to hurry away, or fail to ask their agent the questions they’d really like to ask. Your absence will put buyers at ease, and give them a chance to spend more time looking at your home and absorbing its advantages.

• Leave drapes open for light and airiness. If it’s evening, all lights should be turned on to give the rooms a larger appearance and a cheerful effect.

• Be sure the kitchen sink is free of dishes and rooms are uncluttered. Make sure trash baskets are empty.

• Make sure rugs are clean and straight. Set a comfortable temperature. Do a “once-over” cleaning—vacuum, sweep, and dust. Final check every room.

• Open windows to freshen rooms. Set tables with flowers and linens.

• Never apologize for the appearance of your home—after all, it has been lived in.

• The buyer’s agent knows the buyer’s requirements and can better emphasize the features of your home when you don’t follow along. You will be called if needed.

• Let our team discuss price, terms, possession and other factors with the customer. We are better qualified to bring negotiations to a favorable conclusion.

• If buyers just drop by and aren’t accompanied by a real estate agent, it’s best not to show your home. Ask for their names and phone number, and provide it to us for follow-up.

(Most agents screen calls so you don’t waste time showing to someone who isn’t qualified or, worse yet—a potential burglar.)

• We use an electronic keybox system that agent’s must access in order to obtain the key.

This keybox records which agent showed your home (and the exact time and date), so that we can track all showings and request feedback.

• If you are at home during the showing, be courteous but don’t force conversation with the potential buyer. They want to inspect your house— not pay a social call.

“I would highly recommend Tricia for anybody purchasing a new home. As first time home buyers my husband and I needed somebody to guide us through the unknown process of buying a house. We were so lucky to have Tricia as our agent to do so. She was knowledgeable about the area, gave us honest opinions and feedback about the homes we looked at, took time to answer all of our questions and was a pleasure to work with. If we ever need to buy another home, Tricia will be the one we work with.”
