Andrew Storms Executive Real Estate Advisor

Good morning Barbara, Thank you for the opportunity to list your property this coming season. The time is certainly ripe to collect your gains since your original purchase of the Silver Springs property. Over the past year, since our first conversation, there was a steady increase in property values in the area with as little as 4% to almost double digits of those adjacent to open space and lake frontage. Some economists are anticipating less appreciation across the board for 2016, especially in an election year. The current market statistics leads me to believe you may just be taking your chips off the table at the right time with very appealing gains. As we both know, the Park City market is very segmented and dynamic. Sometimes these differences are from one street to another. Within this document you will find a CMA of the recent 180 day sales of homes that are similar in size. Although there may be remodels and upgrades to the properties shown, this CMA will give you the averages and median of sales pricing in the area. Working around your schedule I would like the time to visit the property so I can provide you a more accurate pricing variance on your home. We can then discuss this further to collect the highest sales price for the market will allow. I look forward to speaking with you further. Kind Regards, Andrew Storms Executive Real Estate Advisor Engel & VĂślkers Park City

Seller Representation

Market Oriented Valuation Research and results Listing your property with Engel & Völkers gives you the beneit of our highly valued contacts, our network of shops and advisors, and international recognition that attracts the widest group of qualiied buyers. Your Engel & Völkers advisors are specially trained to conduct a comprehensive analysis of your property using proprietary tools and standards so that decisions on pricing and marketing have a greater chance of

inding the best buyer for your home in an acceptable time frame. A Market Oriented Valuation performed by an Engel & Völkers advisor is an essential part of the services we provide. It is the most accurate assessment of your home’s value based on data and information that includes current and historical real estate activity in your market.

About our property pricing: ■■

■■

Detailed knowledge of the local market provides insight in the buyer’s perception of the home’s value. Accurate pricing based on comparative market analysis is key to achieving the best possible value from the sale of your home. Homes priced slightly higher than its perceived value will reduce the number of interested potential buyers. Starting with an accurate price from the outset will yield the highest results.

■■

Interest in a home new to the market drops signiicantly the longer the home remains on the market. The longer a property remains on the market the less of a chance in inding an interested buyer. The portion of the price related to home improvements will typically be less than the actual cost of improvements. An offer will typically be lower than the listed price but can be negotiated higher since an offer also signiies that a connection to the home has already been made.

Time and exposure Charting the optimum moment

0 Listing

(Weeks)

The chart represents the amount of interest among potential homebuyers once a property is listed. Statistics show that interest and excitement are highest within the irst four weeks on the market. With the higher level of interest comes the best opportunity to communicate the value of the property and to ultimately

sell it. Preparation and, especially pricing, are crucial in capitalizing on this initial exposure. As weeks pass and without the added recognition as a “new listing”, interest falls and reintroducing the home at an adjusted price typically does not receive the same attention as the irst four weeks.

Seller Representation Our concierge level of service Your Engel & Vรถlkers advisor will tend to every need throughout the home sales process to ensure a worry-free experience for you. You can expect insight and information from a market expert, marketing strategies tailored to your property, proactive communication and ongoing consultation. The marketing professionals at Engel & Vรถlkers who

support our advisors have committed themselves to a clearly deined goal: to identify the maximum value of your home and to sell it for the best price possible. Using our broad range of expertise and the specialized training received at our company-owned academy, we dedicate ourselves to this goal and perform with total passion.

Engel & Völkers Charity Our global mission

Success is a wonderful thing but sharing that success makes it even more so. A family contact of our President and CEO, Christian Völkers drew our attention to Africa and speciically to the village of Agbetiko. We believe that our business operations are inextricably linked with a duty to act in a socially responsible way. That is why we have founded the Engel & Völkers Charity e.V. to actively support a primary school project in Togo, West Africa. Aided by the generous support of our employees, partners and the Engel & Völkers Management Board, we inanced the building of a primary school in this village, which educates more than 200 children on a daily basis every year.

Perceiving the world around us, aside from the iner things in life that Engel & Völkers in particular is so familiar with, we cannot fail to see the hardship and adversity in our world and it is our moral duty to provide help where it is most needed. The living conditions of children living in the so-called “Fourth World” leave no scope for evasion and discussion. It is not just inancial interconnectedness that poses a challenge in our age of globalization but above all social and humanitarian integration. Our efforts are aimed at giving the children of Agbetiko/Togo the chance to lead a better life in their home country, on their continent, in our world. We have taken the irst step and will be supporting this project in Togo in the long term with our established local partners on site.
