Our Primary Objectives
We Have Two Objectives 1. To receive an acceptable offer from a qualified buyer. 2.
To make the transaction as easy as possible for you.
In order to get the best offer, we must do three critical things: STAGE IT!
Prepare your home for presentation to the market. The better it looks, the better your chances of getting top market value.
PRICE IT!
Develop a pricing strategy that captures the interest of prospective buyers.
MARKET IT!
Expose your property to the greatest number of potential buyers.
It takes all three to sell a home! Seller Services Proposal
Preparing Your Home
COLDWELL BANKER LEGACY
Establishing the right first impression is critical to getting the best offer!
Ü You can dramatically increase the saleability of your property by implementing our staging recommendations. Ü REMEMBER, your house has a different role when you are selling it than when you are living in it.
It's fairly simple. HERE'S HOW: Ü Follow the Rule of 3's. (No more than 3 items on any surface. Example: blender, knife holder, toaster, plant.) Ü Tired and peeling paint gets repainted... inside and out. Ü Odors are identified and removed. Ü Clutter gets removed, inside and out. Ü In short...Small details make BIG statements about the perceived condition of your property. An unattended lawn, worn carpet or simply an odor, may create an overall feeling that the property has not been cared for.

MLS Is a Database Not a Marketing Tool
COLDWELL BANKER LEGACY
Why isn't MLS enough?
1. Buyers aren't always clear on what they want – what they buy vs. what they tell the broker they are looking for are often two different things. . The average buyer looks at somewhere between 5 and 15 houses before they pick one. For example, if there are 30 homes competing for showings, they might not even see yours if they depend solely on their broker. . Realtors pick the houses to show their buyers through their own eyes and filters.
Marketing gives the buyers the power to find the houses they want to see.
IF IT ISN'T MARKETED, THEY CAN'T FIND IT!

Very Important
What to Expect – What to Do 1.
Our staging recommendations will really make a difference.
2.
Even mild tobacco or pet odors can prevent a sale.
3.
The listing broker rarely shows or sells your home.
4.
Inspections – the process is tedious, nit-picky, even irritating, but necessary.
5.
Sometimes you won’t have a showing for weeks.
6.
You will not get your money at closing.
7.
Please tell me when you leave town.
8.
Please call me after every showing.
9.
You really, really need a lock box.
10. Open Houses – they are primarily for the benefit of the broker, not the seller. 11. Don’t turn off your utilities before closing. 12. Leave your lights on for showing and leave your curtains open.
