Your Needs Come First The process of marketing and selling your home must match your objectives, priorities and needs. In order to best serve you, I will want to learn more about your plans, so please feel free to ask questions and share your concerns with me. In this way, I will understand your goals, helping us build a strong working relationship.

•

It will help me to know what you want to achieve from the sale of your home and the support you expect to receive from me.

•

Together, we can decide how the homeselling process should be tailored to fit the unique characteristics of your home.

SSP0408Lanc71


Understanding your Expectations Price. Do you have specific expectations as to the selling price of your home? If so, what do you base this figure on? Do you anticipate a certain amount of net proceeds from this sale? Marketing Plan. Are there any specific activities you expect to see included in the marketing of your home? Previous homeselling experience. Have you ever sold a home before? If so, how many and how recently? Positive experiences. What were the most positive features of your previous homeselling experiences? If you have never sold a home before, what would help make this a positive experience? Concerns. Were there any unsatisfactory features of your previous homeselling experiences that you hope to avoid this time? If you are selling your first home, are there any problems or concerns about which you are worried? Expectations. What are your expectations of me as your real estate professional? What specific services and support do you look forward to receiving from me?

SSP0408Lanc72


What Should I Know About Your Home? Each home has special features that may interest buyers. Please tell me about your home. What do you feel are the most appealing features of your home? What features does your home have that differentiate it from other similar properties? What changes or enhancements would you suggest to make your home as marketable as possible? What are the most attractive features of the surrounding neighborhood? Do you have any special terms or conditions regarding the sale of your home, such as items of personal property to be excluded? Are you aware of any problems or concerns regarding your home or the neighborhood that will need to be disclosed to prospective buyers?

SSP0408Lanc73


Strategy: Determine Buyer Quality •

Is this buyer actually able to purchase your home?

Are there mortgage-related “conditions” that are likely to impede a successful closing?

What is the true negotiating strength of the buyer?

If you have multiple offers, which offer really is the strongest?

Depending on your risk tolerance, the best offer might not be the highest price.

SSP0408Lanc74


Performance-Based Compensation •

Commission is an Expense if you choose the wrong agent, an Investment if you choose the right one.

You don’t “save money” on a commission, because commission savings versus value can only be determined at settlement.

When you Invest in me, you can expect a Return on Investment.

SSP0408Lanc75


Positioning Your Home For The Market CMA Pricing versus Market Value •

Determining the price of your home through a Competitive Market Analysis, or CMA, is not the only way to position your home in the current market.

A CMA looks at properties that have already sold and often doesn’t include private sale data.

However, you are competing for buyer attention against properties that are currently for sale (the total available inventory).

It is important to determine the Correct Positioning Price to achieve the highest Market Value for your home.

SSP0408Lanc76


Transaction & Risk Management As part of my Transaction and Risk Management strategy, I will help you maintain negotiating strength by identifying potential problems early. •

Most problems that delay settlement are caused by title issues, failed inspections and insurance issues.

Preliminary review of the settlement sheet can reveal potential issues.

Problems that are uncovered too close to settlement may result in additional out-ofpocket expenses for the seller, postponement of settlement or killed contracts.

Better to be proactive in the beginning than to be reactive near settlement. Review our risk management guidelines to see how we protect your interests. SSP0408Lanc77


Understanding your Expectations The following questions will help me understand what is most important to you in the sale of your home.

Communication. How important is regular communication with your real estate professional? What information is important to you? How often do you want to be contacted, and what is your preferred way of staying in touch? Motivation. Why are you considering selling your home at this time? How far along are you in the homeselling process? Are you just exploring the possibility of selling, or are you definitely committed to putting your home on the market? Time frame. Is there a certain date by which the sale of this home needs to close? How flexible are you on this time frame? Relocation assistance. Will you need information or assistance in moving to a new area? Homeselling decisions. Are there any other individuals who will be involved in your home sale decision? May I please have permission to speak with them?

SSP0408Lanc78


Contract Negotiation Skills & Strategies I will use proven strategies to establish, then maintain a strong negotiating position for you: • Contract Negotiation Skills & Strategies • Transaction & Risk Management • Advertising, Marketing & Merchandising

SSP0408Lanc79

SSP0408Lanc80


Is now a good time to sell? •

Myth: “If I wait, my home will be worth more, and I’ll make more of a profit.” Fact: As your home’s value increases, so does the value of other homes. Example: – – –

Your home may sell for $200,000 today, but you think it would sell for 10% more, or $220,000, next year. You want to buy a home that is $250,000 today. Assuming a 10% increase in home values, the home you want to buy would be $275,000 if you wait. You’d need an additional $5,000 to buy the home you want if you wait.

And if mortgage interest rates rise, your buying power is decreased further.
