OUR SCHMIDT FAMILY STORY Coldwell Banker Schmidt Family of Companies has experienced phenomenal growth since its inception in 1927. Founded by Harold F. Schmidt, the company is now led by his grandson and great-grandson. H. F. Schmidt Real Estate, as the firm was originally known, was based on the principles of honesty, integrity and an unwavering commitment to outstanding service. Harold Schmidt’s adherence to these standards of excellence earned him the trust and confidence of his clients, building a solid foundation for what was to become one of the most respected and largest real estate brokerage firms in the Midwest.
Harold’s son, Joseph Schmidt, joined the company in 1946 and under his leadership the company experienced unparalleled growth. His sons Fred and Ken entered the company in 1962 and 1968, respectively. Today, Ken Schmidt is the CEO of the firm, Mike Schmidt is President, Tom Gray is the COO, and Steve Bell is CFO. The firm joined Coldwell Banker Corporation as a franchisee in 1983.
Schmidt Family of Companies is now a fifth generation real estate firm and is one of the largest and most successful real estate affiliates in the country.

Repaint or touch up trim Make needed repairs Wash windows and screens Trim trees, hedges and shrubs • Weed and feed lawn and maintain mowing

POSITION YOUR HOME TO SELL In real estate, knowledge is power, and your Coldwell Banker® agent is a local-market expert. By sharing current market data, trends and a comparative market analysis (CMA), they’ll help you make an informed decision about your home’s market value and ideal asking price. FACTORS THAT IMPACT YOUR HOME’S VALUE:
• Market Conditions: the current supply (or inventory) of homes for sale, buyer demand, interest rates and availability of financing, prices of recently sold properties, economic factors and seasonal demand • Your Home’s Condition: location, age, size of the home and lot, floor plan and architectural style • The Competition: the number of similar properties for sale and their prices, condition, location and financing terms
FACTORS THAT DO NOT IMPACT YOUR HOME’S VALUE: • Original Price: what you paid for your house • Needed Proceeds: the net cash proceeds you want or need • Opinions: what friends and neighbors say your home is worth
PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL While you and your agent will set your home’s asking price, the buyer will set the sales price. If you price your home too high, you’ll miss out on potential buyers. Pricing your property at fair market value from the start will generate the most activity from real estate agents and home buyers. The price must attract enough attention to result in showings and offers.
IF THE ASKING PRICE IS: 15% Over Market Value 10% Over Market Value 5% Over Market Value Current Market Value
THE PROPERTY APPEALS TO: 20% of Buyers 30% of Buyers
50% of Buyers
95% of Buyers
THE FIRST IMPRESSION The largest number of potential buyers will view a newly listed home within the first 14 days on the market and the number will decrease as the days on the market increases. This pool of buyers includes home buyers just entering the market and, more importantly, buyers working with REALTORS® who have already seen the existing inventory and have not found a home, making them eager to make an offer. To take advantage of this increased level of traffic and buyer interest, your property should be priced to sell at fair market value from the very start.
