REAL ESTATE SERVICES
A MESSAGE FROM JEANETTE Hello, thank you for looking to me for your real estate needs and taking the time to realize the seller experience I will provide you in this seller guide. Experience has shown me that deals don't just happen Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. This is why I dedicate myself to my clients full time and it is very important to you that I am available whenever you need me. It is essential to me that you are completely satisfied with my service from beginning to end. I pride myself with having the intelligence, knowledge, experience, and the unsurpassed full support of Keller Williams Premier Brokers to fulfill every aspect of your home buying or selling experience. Whether you are relocating your residence or business, buying or selling a home, selling a rental property or land, I am ready to work for you! I offer a unique service, and believe it is my job to be a valuable asset to my clients beyond just buying or selling a house. It is my job to be ready to present you with all of the options and to guide and advise you toward your ultimate goal. Does your home need to be staged before listing it? Does your home need some remodeling before listing it? Your home needs to be completely finished and ultimately “show ready” before you put it on the market… I have the resources to help you with this.

PROFESSIONALLY SERVICING YOUR LISTING
MAKE YOUR LISTING STAND OUT Today’s home buyers are armed with more information than ever. They tell their agents which homes they want to see — and they’ve already rejected listings with too few or poor quality photos. Or the home wasn’t photo ready. It is crucial that your listing shows up online with high-impact photos to make a lasting first impression and create a desire to see more.
STAGING
PROFESSIONAL
Before any home can shine through photo or video however high quality, there must be an attractive subject. Staging a home makes it more appealing to the largest number of potential buyers.
Vivid, enticing photos are so important to attract buyers who search online for your home. It is their first and sometimes only impression of your home. My professional photographer takes the highest quality photos to ensure I highlight your home’s best features. Your listing will stand apart from the rest.
PHOTOGRAPHY
3D TOUR MATTERPORT
The Matterport camera features a powerful new technology to create a detailed 3D showcase of your home. With the technology, home buyers get the ultimate virtual experience as they are able to see it from every angle like they are physically walking through it.
AERIAL DRONE
VIDEO Drone video cameras shoot high-definition photos and video from the air, to capture an impresive point of view of your home, property lot and surrounding area.
HI-DEF
VIDEOGRAPHY Did you know, video actually ranks higher in web searches and people respond more fully to video? My professional videographer can create a high-definition, compelling virtual tour of your home that will more effectively capture the attention of today’s buyers.
6 � TARGETING BUYERS EFFECTIVELY
SELLING YOUR HOME FASTER & FOR MORE $$ National Association of Realtors data tells me, as a member, exactly where buyers found the home they purchased. The top three ways are online. I target my marketing strategy and resources to match where buyers are finding homes right now. When more buyers see your property, we can sell it faster.

FOCUSED MARKETING
MARKETING ONLINE WHERE BUYERS ARE Did you know, 92% of all buyers are searching for their next home online. Since 44% of buyers who close a transaction found their home online, that’s where I’ll exhaustively market your listing too. These five categories encompass where buyers search for homes.
BROKER WEBSITES By posting on KW.com, your listing appears on all other major real estate brokerage websites, Sothebys.com, Century21.com, Windermere.com, ReMax.com and more where your listing gains thousands of buyer views.
SEARCH PORTALS Zillow, Truilia, Realtor.com. I know how to get your property showcased ahead of the competition on these popular sites.
SEARCH ENGINES Google, Bing, Yahoo. Wherever people search your on-market listing will be where people are searching.
SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest. I market your property through the most popular social media networks.
MY WEBSITE Your listing will also be featured on my own website.
YOUR CUSTOMIZED PERSONAL WEBSITE I create a personal website just for your listing with your address as the web address. This site also will get marketed on search engines and social media

FOCUSED MARKETING
MARKETING TO REAL ESTATE BROKERS Here are the five ways I market your property to real estate brokers.
1
EMAIL FLIERS Dispatches to agents all around the region, as well as nationally and in many cases, across the globe.
ML TOUT & TOUR
2
Prime visibility to all Billing’s Realtor, the ML Tout & Tour gives all of the agents in Billings the opportunity to hear about and see your home when it is fresh on the market, allowing them to preview your home for out of state buyers or those unable to view your home during the week.
3
MULTIPLE LISTING EXCHANGE The MLE is a website used by all members of the Billings Association of Realtors as a tool to share listing information with all Realtors and all of their potential buyers. You need a Realtor who subscribes to this website, which I do.
4
REALTOR OFFICE MEETINGS In more than one market center I’ll personally pitch your listing and tell brokers why they should see your home
5
FOLLOWING-UP I guarantee a weekly follow-up with all the brokers who have shown your home. I will gather any feedback they’ve provided to pass along to you.

FOCUSED MARKETING
I COVER THE BASICS TOO Theremaining 20% of buyers find the home they eventually purchase through these four ways
FOR SALE
1. YARD SIGNS
Approximately 9% of buyers found the home they actually purchased from a yard sign. My signs attract buyers with a clean modern design.
3. WORD OF MOUTH
A small percentage of buyers find the home they purchase through a friend, neighbor or knowing the seller.
2. OPEN HOUSES
I will host public open houses at prime times allowing potential buyers to view your home without an appointment. If you agree, this will include at least two Sundays a month.
4. PRINT
Your listing will appear in the Billings Gazette and either Welcome Home or The Real Estate Book, which also have online presence.

GIVING BACK
MORE THAN REAL ESTATE It is my privilage to serve others. Here are a few organizations that I am grateful to contribute to.
WOUNDED WARRIORS Wounded Warrior Project is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following September 11, 2001. It is my opinion that Military personnel from all over the world are truly passionate about the welfare of their home countries and deserve to be rewarded for their service and the courage they show, which is why 1% of all my commissions are donated to the “Wounded Warrior” project every year.
KW CARES KW Cares is a 501(c)(3) public charity created to support Keller Williams associates and their families with hardship as a result of a sudden emergency. Hardship is defined as a difficult circumstance that a person or family cannot handle without outside help. I contribute to the KW Cares fund a percentage of every commission I earn.

RED DAY Every year we join with other Keller Williams agents in our annual Red Day to serve the community by volunteering our hands and hearts to various needs throughout the city. As Chairman of the KW Culture Committee serving on the Agent Leadership Council I am the point person to organize Red Day. It is our pleasure to have served environmental and social needs including farming vegetable gardens, painting, cleaning, and anything that is needed for our community. Recently we’ve volunteered to serve Zoo Montana and Boys & Girls Club.
